Tsugami SS32

What the maker publishes about the current Tsugami SS32

In the Tsugami SS series, the SS32 is the 32 mm opposed gang tool Swiss-type lathe organized around the Modular Tool Zone. Rotary tools, indexed holders and turning holders swap in and out of that zone as modules. Bar stock up to 32 mm feeds a sliding headstock that works through a guide bushing. Headstock stroke measures 320 mm. This machine does not convert to run without the guide bushing. It has 6 axes. Tool positions total 24 in standard form and 40 at most. Of those, 10 are live as standard, rising to 13. Main and sub spindles each span 200 to 8,000 rpm and can cut at the same time. A 3.7/5.5 kW motor drives the main spindle. Live tools turn at 5,000 rpm. The CNC is the FANUC 32i-B. The footprint is 2,020 × 1,675 × 2,020 mm, and weight is 3,400 kg. Listed options include thread whirling, polygon cutting and gear hobbing.

What to check on a Tsugami SS32

• Spindle. The manufacturer gives a spindle speed of 200 – 8,000 rpm. Run the spindle to top speed and listen for bearing noise.
• Spindle load. The manufacturer gives 3.7 / 5.5 kW of spindle power. Take a heavy cut and watch the load meter.
• Bar work. The manufacturer gives a bar capacity of 32 mm. Check any bar feeder is set for that bar.
• Rotary tools. The manufacturer gives the rotary tooling as 5,000 rpm. Check that the rotary tools still drive under load.
• Second spindle. The manufacturer gives a sub spindle speed of 200 – 8,000 rpm. Check that it synchronizes on a part transfer.
• Rotary axes. The manufacturer gives 6 axes. Run each rotary axis through its range.
• Rigging and floor. The manufacturer gives a machine weight of 7,495 lbs., 3,400 kg and a floor space of 79.5” x 65.9” x 79.5”; 2,020 × 1,675 × 2,020 mm. Confirm the rigging route and the floor will take that.

Tsugami's own product page for the SS32 and SS32L, in a copy the Internet Archive saved on August 2, 2010, already lists both machines, so the SS32 had been introduced by 2010.
