Nakamura-Tome JX-250 High Performance Multitasking Turning Center
To optimize part transfer, independent right spindle guideways on lower turrets minimize the distance between the spindles at 11.8" (300 mm). For highest processing flexibility, a single or twin lower turret design is offered with overlapping travels and Y-Axis box guideways are standard.
RS-SQUARED Area Scanner
It is best suited to the scanning of large parts with lower detail requirements, such as automotive parts. nThe Absolute Arm 7-axis system delivers tactile probing and laser scanning in a uniquely ergonomic package. It is the best choice for high-end portable measurement applications.
USC-2M and USC-3M
Both models feature rigid, robust frames along with their universal spindles for the toughest applications, all of which helps mold makers minimize machining time and maximize throughput. Mold makers require world-class milling capabilities and accuracy, which is why the new USC designs emphasize rigidity and stability.
