Recognized Technology
Turret with a built-in motor for NC lathes.
What is the “ Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers Award ”?
The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers was founded in 1897 by a group of engineers from the related fields of machinery and mechanical systems. The JSME is an organization of engineering experts designed to contribute to society.
The purpose of the JSME Award is to encourage the development of mechanical engineering and industry. The Society annually gives this award to outstanding papers and technologies.
The milling mechanism on conventional lathes generates a great deal of heat and vibration due to the large number of parts involved, including the motor and gear belt. A built-in construction was adopted for the “ turret with a built-in milling motor,” incorporating the motor inside the turret – a world’s first. This revolutionary design minimizes heat generation and vibration while eliminating transmission losses. The new design increases both machining accuracy and cutting performance. |

Taking a hint from couplings, which are praised for their high repeatability, we developed a very rigid rotary-tool holder. |
The NL Series can handle face milling of 80 mm dia. (3.1 in. dia.) to deliver milling power virtually indistinguishable from that of No. 40 taper machining centers. |
The design has eliminated the transmission mechanism. Therefore, sources of heat are eliminated and jacket cooling is performed by building a motor within a turret. |
