The Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300 is a used lathe, a category of machine tool — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — designed to remove material from rotating workpieces to produce cylindrical, conical, and profiled components. Nakamura-Tome is a well-regarded Japanese manufacturer with a long-established reputation for building high-precision CNC turning and multi-tasking machine tools, serving industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and general precision engineering.
This machine dates from 2015 and is located in the United Kingdom. It is equipped with a Fanuc 31i control system, widely used in the industry for its reliability, comprehensive functionality, and ease of integration.
The working envelope is substantial, with a maximum cutting diameter of 640 mm and a maximum cutting length of 1,100 mm, making it capable of handling medium-to-large components. Bar capacity is 80 mm, and the machine is equipped with a magazine barfeed for automated, unattended production of barwork parts.
The main spindle delivers 18.5 kW of power at speeds up to 3,500 rpm, while the sub spindle matches that speed at 3,500 rpm, enabling complete part machining in a single setup without re-chucking. Milling capability is provided at 15 kW with a milling spindle speed of up to 12,000 rpm, giving the machine full live-tooling capacity for driven operations such as milling, drilling, and tapping.
Multi-axis capability is a key feature of this machine. The B axis offers a range of −120 to +105 degrees, allowing the turret or spindle head to be tilted for complex angled machining. The Y axis provides ±125 mm of travel, enabling off-centre milling and drilling operations. The C axis resolution is 0.001 degrees, providing fine angular positioning for precision contouring and interpolation work.
The 40-station automatic tool changer (ATC) allows a large variety of tools to be held ready, reducing changeover time between operations. Ancillary equipment included with the machine comprises a swarf conveyor for continuous chip removal and a parts catcher for safe retrieval of finished components at the sub spindle, both of which support lights-out or automated production.
