What happens when industry-leading tooling, Swiss machining technology, and one of manufacturing's most recognized training parts come together?
Horn USA set out to answer that question by machining the TITAN-2S training component, developed by Titans of CNC, on a Nomura DS NN-20J3 equipped with a comprehensive tooling package.
While it may appear straightforward at first glance, the TITAN-2S incorporates multiple machining sequences into a single workpiece, challenging both the machine's capabilities and the tooling package. Producing the part efficiently requires multiple operations to work together seamlessly while maintaining precision throughout the cycle. As a result, it serves as an excellent demonstration of the Nomura DS NN-20J3's process stability, rigidity, and accuracy.
Facing, drilling, and chamfering
Thread turning and relief machining
Deburring and OD turning
Groove machining, flat milling, and ID boring
Cutoff operations
Completing these operations on a single Swiss machine highlights the versatility of the Nomura DS NN-20J3 and demonstrates what manufacturers can achieve when machine performance and tooling technology work together.
Titans of CNC has become one of the most influential educational platforms in manufacturing, helping machinists, students, and shops adopt new technologies and improve their capabilities. Horn USA is recognized globally for innovative cutting tool solutions across turning, grooving, milling, drilling, threading, and other precision machining applications.
Together, Titans of CNC, Horn USA, and Nomura DS demonstrate how machine tools, cutting tools, and machining education can work together to help manufacturers improve productivity, develop machining talent, and solve increasingly complex manufacturing challenges.
The Nomura DS NN-20J3 was designed for shops that require repeatable accuracy, process stability, and efficient machining of complex parts. Projects like the TITAN-2S demonstrate how Swiss machining can consolidate multiple operations into a single setup, reduce handling, eliminate secondary processes, and help shops maintain consistent part quality.
