Methods Machine Tools, Inc. has released the Nakamura-Tome WY-100V to the U.S. market.
The two-turret, twin-spindle precision CNC multitasking lathe is the first of the V series. New AI-infused software releases, enhanced multiprocessing features and faster simultaneous operations reduce cycle time up to 30%, the company reported.
"The WY-100V has been years in the making as the natural successor to the very successful WY-100II," said Sergio Tondato, Methods' Sr. Director of Nakamura-Tome products. "Updates to hardware and software further raise the precision, speed and overall operator experience. Like all Nakamura-Tome platforms, the world-class multitasking capabilities lead to superior parts at a lower cost per unit."
The WY-100V is highlighted by Nakamura-Tome's ChronoCut technology to deliver higher spindle speeds and milling speeds than its predecessor through:
- 53% faster rigid tap operations
- 37% faster part unloading
- 22% faster C-axis positioning
- 15% faster high-speed spindle synchronization
- 11% faster turret indexing.
In addition to ChronoCut, the WY-100V's NT Smart X control features new 3D Smart Pro AI programming. The support function provides real-time 3D CAD drawing analysis for program creation for all processes from raw material to finished product.
"Our customers keep coming back to Nakamura-Tome because of its history of superior machine designs, combined with new software innovations, which make it a product of choice for multitasking milling and turning work," Tondato added.
