■SC-200II features
The SC-200 II is a high-rigid single-turret multitasking lathe that can process powerful and stable machining. Although the machine’s size is in 8” class, it holds a maximum turning diameter of 390mm and a swing over cover diameter of 700mm, ensuring a large machining area. It enables the machine to equip a 10” chuck. The output of the spindle motor has been increased to 15/11kW (Op. 18.5/15kW), making it superior to the previous model. In addition to the improved spindle motor output, the bar capacity and Y-axis side travel have also been improved to give it the ability to achieve a one-rank higher machining capacity.

■Development background
SC-200, the predecessor of the SC-200II, received excellent reputation from customers. With enthusiasm to evolve it into a more convenient multitasking lathe, this SC-200II was developed. The main point of its acceleration is that it can carry out swinging widely within the compact body. Thanks to this feature enable you to expand the variety of machining. Moreover, it improved rigidity, workability, and precision by applying a new frame structure.

■Comment from Shogo Nakamura/CEO
The SC-200II is a multitasking lathe that realizes “Next level machining.”
We added refinements many times to cut the burden on workers while keeping the good points at a maximum. I believe that process integration will be familiar to many factories because of the evolution of single-turret machines. I hope that more customers will experience the ease of use.

HAKUSAN, ISHIKAWA – Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Shogo NAKAMURA) added a new screen for oscillating cutting to NT Smart X! This screen makes it easier to set the frequency multiplier I and amplitude multiplier K. This screen is from FANUC.

By changing the arguments, can the chips be broken up? What is the maximum chip length? What is the theoretical surface roughness? Before machining, it is possible to know answers to these questions. This allows for smooth setting without relying on trial and error after machining or relying on PC software.

Please refer to the following YouTube video explaining this screen by our CEO Shogo Nakamura. We have also included a movie of oscillating cutting with a taper and oscillating cutting with a resin.

We hope you enjoy it.

HAKUSAN, ISHIKAWA – Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Shogo NAKAMURA) improved the conventional work stocker “HAKO-BEI” and launch a new product “HAKO-BEI Link” that will be selectable as a stand-alone automation stocker.

■HAKO-BEI Link feature
HAKO-BEI Link is the developed model of the existing work stoker HAKO-BEI, which can automate workpiece alignment and the processes of work stocker, and now available to use as a stand-alone work stocker. A gripper-type hand is adopted to this new model to prevent damage when holding workpieces. There are two types of workpiece trays to be stored in the work stocker (9 tier/4 tier) and the specifications will be different depending on the workpiece size.

HAKO-BEI Link can be connected to other devices such as a parts washer and a deburring machine. Moreover, it can be combined with a CNC machine so that it is possible to automate the whole process from loading blank materials to aligning finish components into a tray when HAKO-BEI Link is connected to a CNC lathe. Since customers have a choice to use it as a stand-alone item or a connecting stocker, HAKO-BEI Link can be applied to a wide range of applications.

■Development background
In order to be used extensively by customers in various industries, we developed as a stand-alone automated palletizing system HAKO-BEI Link. It can be connected not only to Nakamura-Tome’s lathes, but also to machine tools from other manufacturers, robots, deburring machines, and machinery other than the machine tools. In this way, this device has various combinations that open up more possibilities.

HAKUSAN, ISHIKAWA – Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Shogo NAKAMURA) launch a new function “Smart Tuning”, which enables to correct geometric errors of ATC multitasking machines simply and speedy.

■Smart Tuning features
The Smart Tuning is a feature that can correct geometric errors easily when it occurs due to secular change or when you perform high-precision machining.

The correction will be performed as you set a reference sphere and use Nakamura-Tome’s automatic measuring system HAN-BEI, and operate the machine following to the guidance.

It is available to tune for a total of 10 types of geometric errors including the rotating center position error of tool spindle, which will improve the precision of processing.

Before we develop the Smart Tuning, the correction of geometric errors required Nakamura-Tome’s engineering support. However, by using the Smart Tuning, customer’s operators will be able to correct the errors without Nakamura’s support. This progress enables the operators to tune the geometry on periodical maintenance, and to maintain the machine in high-precision condition all the time.

■Development background
In order to achieve high-precision machining, resolving slightest geometric errors is an essential key point. Moreover, geometric error problem caused by secular change is unavoidable. However, the correction of geometric errors was a difficult task and it took a lot of time to make adjustment so far.
To solve these problems at once and reduce customer’s burden, we developed the Smart Tuning.

HAKUSAN, ISHIKAWA – Nakamura-Tome Precision Industry Co., Ltd (President Ken’ichi NAKAMURA) developed a tool-setting support function “Geometry Navigator”. This function automates a part of the conventional method to measure the tool geometry and enables any operators to set up the geometry offset easily.

■ Outline of the Geometry Navigator
The Geometry Navigator is a function to support operators by showing the guidance of a whole process to set the geometry offset by a tool setter, and automates all tool setup motion except for approaching at the beginning. Anyone is able to set tools easily and quickly because what the operators need to do is to operate a NC panel according to the guidance.
Therefore, not only skilled operators but also unexperienced operators who are not used to work on the tool setting can work securely. Our study from trial runs by an unexperienced operator shows that this function achieved to reduce the setting time by about 45% when comparing the tool setting with and without the Geometry Navigator.

■ Comment from COO Shogo Nakamura
When we use a machine tool, we have to set up tools and in this tool setting, the most requested function from customers to improve the efficiency of work is the process to measure and input geometry offsets.
This process has been proceeded manually by touching a tool to a tool setter, but there are some problems that operators forget to measure some tool geometries or unexperienced operators take much more time to measure the tool.
The Geometry Navigator aims to have anyone complete the setup quickly, easily and accurately by partially automating the work of measuring the tool geometry that is conventionally done by using a manual tool setter.
I would like many people to use the Geometry Navigator to ease the tool setup occurring on a daily basis.
