Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co introduced a new two-turret two-spindle precision CNC multitasking lathe the WY-100V. The new machine features many new technologies which reduce cycle time drastically.
Shogo Nakamura, CEO at Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry says: “Seven years after the predecessor WY-100II was released, the WY-100V was developed to present a higher value-added multitasking machine. The most significant feature is its high-speed capability. To minimize idle time, we have developed a new technology called “ChronoCut” and achieved significantly higher spindle speeds and milling speeds, while improving torque on the hardware side. As a result, we have successfully reduced cycle time by 30% in an actual machining case.”
New hardware and software solutions have been developed to improve accuracy, while promoting faster mass production. Moreover, in terms of control, various techniques have been incorporated to reduce idle time. It is a completely new multitasking machine that is faster, while enormously enhancing productivity.
In a multi-turret machine, speed is of utmost importance. By reducing cycle time with a fast machine, customers can make a large number of workpieces within the same amount of time and effort. This subsequently is saving manufacturing costs in challenging cost-cutting situations, while alleviating concerns about tight delivery deadlines.
“The WY-100V is a machine that embodies the concept of “Faster than the fastest.” It aims to reduce the burden on the shop floor. Even a few seconds of cycle time reduction can bring great satisfaction. Still, we have set a high goal of aiming for a 30% reduction with the sample workpiece demonstrated above and developed the machine from scratch with the dedication of our team. It is a machine that incorporates all our hardware, software, and machining expertise. We invite you to experience our new flagship two-turret machine,” concludes Shogo Nakamura.
