Is there anything this machine can’t do?
Have you ever wanted to be your own boss? This man has had the courage to…
Following ‘hot off the heels’ of the new Nakamura-Tome SC-200II machine that recently launched as an evolution beyond its predecessor, the SC-200, Nakamura has now introduced the new SC-200IIL. As the UK and Ireland technology partner for the world-leading Nakamura-Tome brand, this latest iteration is now available from the Engineering Technology Group (ETG).
The new SC-200IIL turning centre inherits many of the main specifications of the recently launched SC-200II and its concept of ‘Next level machining’. However, the SC-200IIL expands the distance between centres – evolving into a machine capable of machining long workpieces. This development allows users to select the R-side specifications from the sub-spindle or NT tailstock units. The SC200II has a maximum turning diameter of 390mm and a 510mm distance between spindles, the new SC-200IIL increases this distance to 715mm between centres with 800mm between spindles.
Like the extremely rigid SC-200II multitasking lathe, the SC-200IIL provides a powerful and stable machining platform under the most challenging of conditions. Despite the machine being in the 8” chuck size class, it has a swing over the bed of 620mm diameter, providing an exceptionally large machining area for a small footprint machine.
This also enables the machine to accommodate a 10” chuck if required. The output of the spindle motor has been increased to 15/11kW with the option of an 18.5/15kW motor. The exceptional spindle motor output, bar capacity and Y-axis travel have all been enhanced to give the new SC-200IIL machine the ability to accommodate a higher machining capacity.
Like the SC-200II, the SC-200IIL has impressive acceleration rates that enable the operator to machine larger parts and expand the scope and variety of components considerably. Moreover, the machine has a new frame structure that improves rigidity, performance, surface finishes and precision.
Commenting upon the new arrival to the Nakamura-Tome stable, Nakamura CEO Shogo Nakamura says: “The SC-200II is our new multi-tasking machine with the concept of ‘Next level machining’. Since this machine is capable of processing large billets and bars that should be normally performed on a machine in a one-rank larger size, the SC-200IIL has now arrived to deliver favourable changes to factory floors. Another appeal of this machine is that the sub-spindle ‘MATA-BEI’ can be selectable on the R-side spindle. This allows end-face machining and enables operators to realise consecutive machining tasks from a blank material to finished parts in a single machine.” For further information on this compact and powerful multi-tasking workhorse, contact the Engineering Technology Group (ETG).
