Hi!
We use HSMWorks for our Datron machines on a regular basis. I've recently been thinking about picking up a Nakamura mill turn.
1).Is there anyone here using this post?

2). How advanced is the Nakamura-Tome post?
3). Is the dual spindle spindle mill-tun supported?
-- if so how do you program the dual spindles?
-- this seems very much out of date https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YKa3tkscFs
4). Does HSMWorks support Power Skiving routes in any way?

5). Does anyone have for sale or know of production proven 3D / HSMWorks configuration / simulation models of the Nakamura Super NTMX ?
Thanks!
Hi,
I use that post but with a nakamura tome tw10 lathe - year 2010 - my machine uses the old style M100-M197 wait/handshake codes to do the sub-spindle stuff and M75 to start the sub program. I had to modify the post to make the normal sub spindle ops work and am now trying to work out how to automate the transfer stuff. Main spindle and sub work independently so lots of the newer M-codes can't be used. I am also trying to do this in Fusion360 so only one wcs..... ![]()
Did you get yours working? Fusion has transfer stuff in it now that might work for you but not for me...
Sadly I jumped to Esprit TNG as that has the dual channel support and simulation. For a “beginner” using mill turn I needed that!
I still use Fusion for our Datrons though.
Hi David,
sounds nice but expensive. I have the nak post working apart from sub transfer. Still trying to find out how feasible it is. Would love to try esprit but I am worried about the price..
cheers,
James
