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 multi-processing features and faster simultaneous operations reduce cycle time up to 30%.
The WY-100V features Nakamura-Tome’s specialized ChronoCut technology to deliver high spindle speeds and milling speeds.
In addition to ChronoCut, the WY-100V’s NT Smart X control features a 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.
Sergio Tondato, Methods’ senior director of Nakamura-Tome products, says the machines’ “updates to both 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.”
Methods will showcase the machine at IMTS 2024.
