The Nakamura Tome TW 10 is a used CNC lathe — sometimes referred to as a turning centre — built for high-productivity precision turning of bar stock and short components. Lathes of this type are used across a wide range of industries for the controlled removal of material from rotating workpieces to produce cylindrical, conical, and profiled parts to tight tolerances. Nakamura-Tome is a well-established Japanese machine tool builder with a long-standing reputation for multi-tasking and twin-spindle CNC turning equipment, serving sectors such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and general precision engineering.
This machine is configured as a twin-spindle, twin-turret slant-bed CNC lathe with live tooling, giving it full four-axis capability and the ability to perform milling, drilling, and other driven-tool operations in a single setup. The slant-bed construction promotes rigidity and efficient chip evacuation. A subspindle allows parts to be handed off from the main spindle for rear-face machining without manual intervention, supporting fully automated, unattended production cycles.
Each turret carries twelve tool positions and is equipped for live (motorised) tooling. The main spindle is powered by a 3.7 / 5.5 kW motor with a speed range of 55 to 5,500 RPM, while the subspindle runs a 2.2 / 3.7 kW motor across the same speed range of 55 to 5,500 RPM. Both spindles have a bore diameter of 47 mm, with a telescopic tube bore of 35 mm on each. The collet capacity on both spindles is 34 mm, suited to bar work within that diameter.
Turning capacity figures include a maximum turning diameter of 130 mm, a maximum swing diameter over the telescopic guideways of 180 mm, and a maximum turning length of 160 mm. The distance between the spindle face and turret face ranges from a minimum of 85 mm to a maximum of 285 mm, and the maximum distance between the two spindles is 765 mm. Spindle centreline height above the floor is 900 mm. Axis travel is 220 mm in X and 300 mm in Z for both the first and second axes. Total installed power requirement is 37 kVA, not including the bar feeder.
The machine is offered with a full complement of peripheral equipment. A Sameca MUZ 12/65 bar feeder with a magazine length of 1,850 mm is included, enabling continuous bar feeding up to the collet capacity. A tool probe is fitted for automatic tool measurement and offset setting. A chip conveyor is also included for automated swarf removal.
The machine is described as coming from a military application and is located in France, available in used condition dating from 1991.
