Leighton Machine & Tool is proud to announce the addition of the Nakamura-Tome Super NTX (W) to our advanced line of CNC equipment. This Mill/Turn Machine is a multi-tasking, multi-function machine that produces complex workpieces in one operation. This machine is capable of turning a workpiece and applying milling operations at various angles and faces with up to 3 tools simultaneously. The machine features 2 spindles one with a 12″ diameter chuck and the other with an 8” chuck and can process bar material up to 3.5” diameter. It also features 2 lower turrets each holding up to 24 tools and 1 upper milling spindle capable of 5-sided machining with 40 tools. A part requiring a variety of milling and turning operations can be machined in one spindle and be transferred to the 2nd spindle in one complete cycle to allow for faster part making, higher accuracies (no re-chucking), and fewer set-up times.
Specific advantages of this 5-axis mill turn machine include:
- Greater accuracy by milling and turning features in a single setup
- Turning diameter up to 15″
- Turn length up to 43″
- B axis milling head has +-115 degrees of freedom
- Y axis +- 3.15″ from center of spindles
- 2 lower turrets with live tooling and 24 tool locations per turret
- Upper milling head for 5-axis machining on both spindles
- Sub spindle and lower turrets can also double as a tailstock to support shafts
- Ability to process 3 functions at one time to greatly reduce the overall machining time without sacrificing quality.
- Increased shop capabilities for current and future work
- Ability to access hard-to-reach places easily
Leighton Machine & Tool continually invests in the latest multi-axis CNC machines to consistently produce the most complex components accurately.
