HAKUSAN, Ishikawa, Japan, Jul 29, 2025 – Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Shogo NAKAMURA) has announced the release of a new CNC multitasking lathe named “NTY³-150V.”
This machine is the fourth model in the V series, following the WY-150V introduced in October last year, and is specifically designed for high-speed performance. It features several new technologies—including “ChronoCut,” which reduces idle time during machining—enabling up to 30% increase in productivity.
Highlights:
ChronoCut Standard Equipped
Nakamura-Tome has incorporated its unique idle time reduction feature, “ChronoCut,” as standard . ChronoCut is software designed to shorten idle time during machining processes. As the machining conditions remain unchanged, it does not affect accuracy. For more details, visit https://www.nakamura-tome.com/corp_news/chronocut.
Efficiency Improvement Through Increased Tool Mounting Capacity
The NTY³-150V is a three-turret machine capable of mounting tools on up to 72 stations. By pre-setting tools for two or three workpieces beforehand, there is no need to change tool setups when processing different workpieces. Moreover, adjusting the left-right time balance and utilizing the lower turret for center support, along with the flexibility of machining processes that can be designed, adds to the appeal of three-turret machines.
Enhanced Machining Capability
The NTY³-150V is the first in its class to offer a spindle capable of handling a φ80 bar capacity, with the option of equipping a powerful motor of up to 28/15kW. Additionally, the milling motor features a standard output of 7.5/3.7kW, with maximum rotation speed increased to 10,000 min⁻¹. This enables high-speed machining of large-diameter workpieces while maintaining both high rigidity and precision.
Cross Over Travel for Upper Z-axis
When one turret is retracted in the Z-axis direction, the other turret can advance beyond its Z-axis reference point, ensuring a larger Z-axis travel.
Thanks to the cross over travel capability, each turret can move into the opposite side’s machining area. This enhances flexibility by making it easier to use the upper turret for long workpieces or operations involving long tools, significantly expanding the range of machining applications.
