Nakamura-Tome TW-10 Twin-Spindle CNC Lathe (1998)

The 1998 Nakamura-Tome TW-10 is a compact twin-spindle, twin-turret CNC lathe arranged for sequential turning operations within one enclosed machine. Four controlled axes and opposed workholding make it relevant where a second operation would otherwise require another setup or machine.

Recorded capacity is 130 mm turning diameter, 160 mm machining length and 47 mm bar passage. The two-turret arrangement provides 24 documented tool positions, while spindle speed reaches 5,500 rpm. An LNS Hydrobar Mini-Sprint bar feeder, chip conveyor and groups of toolholders are presented with the machine.

Configuration and workshop use

Both front doors, the separate operator panel, opposing spindle area and turret assemblies are visible. Several rear views show access panels open around hoses and cabinet components. The enclosure carries workshop scuffs, staining and localized paint wear, with machining residue inside. Compatibility, completeness and operation of the bar-feed system and loose tooling require confirmation.

The technical data table on this page contains the full verified specification. For planning purposes, buyers should compare the listed machine dimensions and weight with doorway clearance, lifting capacity and the intended foundation before committing to transport.

Applications and purchasing checks

This twin-spindle CNC lathe may be considered for the work described above, but suitability depends on the material, tolerances, tooling and cycle required. Before purchase, request confirmation of the control startup, spindle behaviour, axis movement, lubrication and coolant systems, safety functions and any loose equipment needed for the intended job.

Allow time to inspect the actual machine and agree exactly which holders, chucks, feeders or accessories form part of the sale. Electrical supply, loading method and transport dimensions should also be checked against the destination workshop.
