New CNC Lathes, Automatic Lathes and Turn-Mill Centres for Maximum Productivity
Modern CNC lathes, powerful automatic lathes and high-precision turn-mill centres form the backbone of efficient and precise metalworking today. These machines combine speed, accuracy and versatility to produce even the most demanding components in the shortest time and with maximum repeatability.
Whether for single-piece production, series manufacturing or complex multitasking operations, the latest generation offers a wide range of applications, supported by intelligent control systems, energy-efficient drives and innovative tooling concepts.
In this overview, we present three leading manufacturers setting benchmarks with their latest developments: Nakamura-Tome with innovative multitasking machines, WEILER with German precision engineering and Tornos as the Swiss specialist for ultra-precise automatic lathes.
Nakamura-Tome – Multitasking at a New Level
