Training Nakamura NT Nurse

Good News in these Challenging times for all Nakamura** owners/users

Get more out of your Nakamura

Switch on & use the NT Nurse software on your Nakamura and save money

Invest £650‐00* on a day’s onsite training with us and save up to 50% on your consumables bill

*£450‐00 at our Southam training School

How often have we heard? “I’ve changed the tips they looked a bit worn”

NT nurse automatically manages Tool Life Up to 50% more components made before tip replacement is required Take the human error out of tool life decisions

“Most of the parts made last night will have to be scrapped they’re oversized” NT nurse allows you to use “predictive wear offset update” to ensure component conformity on lights out operation Why not include 2nd/or 3rd R/turn Tools NT Nurse Tool management can help you achieve extended running time by automatically changing to a sister tool after a pre‐determined time or load

One day onsite training will give you all the knowledge to start using the benefits of

“Exclusive to Nakamura” NT nurse and make those savings

Training from Factory Tutored trainers will include:

Set up Tool Count (monitor tool use) Introduce sister tooling to increase your production

run Implement Tool Monitoring (Optimise Tool Life)

Peck Feed Drilling (using monitoring) Use predictive offset update ensure parts confor‐

mity on lights out operations

“We redu ced our consumable costs by 40% by utilising the NT nurse fun ction on our Na ka mura WT150’s”
