Used Nakamura WT for Sale 5

Nakamura-Tome's WT series pairs two spindles with two turrets, enabling simultaneous front and back machining and superimposed cutting where both turrets work one spindle at once. Models span the WT-100 through WT-150, WT-250, and WT-300, most with extensive live tooling and Y-axes.

A used WT is a complete-machining cell for complex shafts, fittings, and medical components. Exapro listings vary by capacity, axis configuration, hours, and included tooling. Compare specifications and submit an enquiry through the listing page on Exapro to get full details from the seller.

Nakamura-Tome built its reputation on multitasking turning, and the WT series is its volume expression: twin opposed spindles, upper and lower turrets, and control software (Nakamura's NT panels layered on Fanuc) designed to make four-path programming manageable. The practical payoff is superimposition: while the upper turret machines the main spindle part, the lower turret can simultaneously work the sub-spindle part, cutting effective cycle times dramatically on balanced workpieces.

Capacity runs from the compact WT-100 (around 42 mm bar) through the WT-150 and WT-250 to the WT-300 for 80 mm class bar work. Against its closest used-market rival, the Okuma LU/Multus families, the WT typically offers more live-tool positions in the same footprint, while Okuma counters with its own control ecosystem. Used WT pricing generally lands between single-turret Japanese lathes and full B-axis multitasking machines like the Integrex, which is exactly its production logic.

Buying a used Nakamura WT: what to check

Test spindle synchronisation through a part transfer cycle, as transfer concentricity defines back-working accuracy. Check all live tool stations for runout and gear noise; with twenty or more driven positions on some configurations, holder condition meaningfully affects the price you should pay. Verify Y-axis function on both turrets where fitted.

Inspect both turret couplings for crash evidence and measure indexing repeatability. Review the Fanuc control generation, confirm program and offset backups transfer, and ask about Nakamura's NT Work or collision-avoidance software licences. Bar feeder and parts catcher condition matter for unattended running, so test the full automation chain if included. Request maintenance records, spindle hour counts, and any documented bearing replacements. On WT models, verify upper and lower turret synchronisation and check the Y-axis on both turrets where fitted, as twin-turret crashes leave subtle alignment damage.
