Methods Launches Twin- Turret Multitasking Machine
—Nakamura Tome
Methods Machine Tools is now distributing Nakamura-Tome’s SC-100X2 twin-turret multitasking machine, which utilizes two tools on either side of the upper turret for superimposed machining. Methods
spokespeople say this makes it well-suited for Swiss-style parts greater than 25 mm in diameter.
Superimposed machining lets shops take on complex contracts and com- plete them faster than other mainstream machining methods. Operators can also use the upper and lower turret simulta- neously, giving the SC-100X2 the flex- ibility of a true twin spindle machine. The machine’s design also contributes to a faster cycle time while maintain- ing precision and accuracy in line with other Nakamura-Tome machines.
The SC-100X2 automatically un- loads the workpiece once complete, minimizing manual intervention and downtime. When the machine com- pletes a cycle, the parts catcher grips the part and places it on a conveyor,
removing it from the machining en- vironment.
Software from Nakamura-Tome enables users use a FANUC 0i-TF Plus control to program superimposed and multi-turret jobs as easily as single-tur- ret operations. The software package also includes Nakamura’s NT-Nurse system, NT-Smart Sign, NT-Navigator, oscillation turning and thermal com- pensation artificial intelligence.
