What the maker publishes about the current Tsugami B038T
Swiss-type sliding headstock turning and an indexing turret share one frame in the Tsugami B038T, a 38 mm gang/turret turning center. Bar capacity is 38 mm, or 1.5″. It is a 9-axis machine. The headstock slides through a guide bushing over a 250 mm stroke. There is no chucker conversion. The gang, front and rear tool posts hold up to 13 tools. The turret adds 32 stations. Total tool positions reach 45. Driven tools number 8 on the turret and 2 on the gang slide. Front, back and cross spindles combine in 7 kinds of simultaneous machining. The rear turret gains a Z-axis, and Tsugami ties it to balanced turning and long thread whirling. The turret has its own independent drive. The main spindle turns from 200 up to 5,000 rpm, with 7.5/11 kW behind it. Sub spindle speed reaches 7,000 rpm. Live tools run from 200 to 8,000 rpm. A 3-path FANUC 31i-B is standard. Mass comes to 6,200 kg on a 3,247 × 1,875 × 1,840 mm footprint.
