The N-Series of NILES-SIMMONS (a Brand of the NSH Group) is a modular series of CNC slantbed lathes in five size graduations N10 through N50. The universal machine concept is designed for the efficient and high precision turning of rotationally symmetrical workpieces including secondary shaping. The guideway system and primary sub-assemblies are designed to accommodate roughing, heavy duty machining and finishing. The N-Series offers multiple configurations and combinations for chucking and shaft machining. Variable slide concepts with single or double tool turrets, counter spindles, transfer spindles and multiple independent steady rest slides serve as the basis for machining. With innovative drive concepts and machining processes, the N-Series can be configured for system solutions. The NILES-SIMMONS slantbed lathes are focused on providing extraordinary accuracy, high productivity and cutting efficiency. Flexible Machining Modules and Components The N-Series is one of the advanced modularized lathe, offering multi-functional machining concepts and a multitude of accessory equipment. With modular subassemblies we offer your state of the art turning solution. Our intelligent hard and software tools complete your processes, from manufacturing planning through process optimization to maintenance. Extensive Applications for Complete Machining Machine efficiently and preserve resources with the innovative slantbed lathes of NILES- SIMMONS. From individual workpiece to mass production, we offer you an economical complete solution.
