Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry has introduced a new CNC multi-tasking lathe named NTY³-150V. The machine is the fourth model in the V series, following the WY-150V introduced in October 2024, and is specifically designed for high-speed performance. It features several new technologies as standard, including ChronoCut software, which reduces idle time during machining for a productivity boost of up to 30%.

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 set-ups when processing different workpieces. Moreover, adjusting the left-right time balance and utilising the lower turret for centre support – along with the flexibility of machining processes that can be designed – adds to the appeal of three-turret machines.

Nakamura-Tome’s NTY³-150V is the first in its class to offer a spindle capable of handling 80 mm diameter bar capacity, with the option of equipping a motor of up to 28/15 kW. Additionally, the milling motor features a standard output of 7.5/3.7 kW, with maximum rotation speed increased to 10,000 rpm. This capability enables the high-speed machining of large-diameter workpieces while maintaining both high rigidity and precision.

Notably, when one turret is retracted in the Z-axis, the other turret can advance beyond its Z-axis reference point, ensuring a larger travel in this direction. Thanks to the crossover 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.
