Simultaneous Machining, 21 Tool, 5-axis Swiss Type Lathe

The B0 family of Tsugami Swiss Type Lathes are designed to provide exactly the capability and capacity you need at an affordable price. Each incremental model in the B0 series adds features to the core machine and bed and represents years of Tsugami testing and research.

The Tsugami B0205-III is a 20 mm 5-axis convertible Swiss turn that adds an independent back tool post to the B0 configuration and introduces two rotary tool positions on the back tool post (optional). These improvements enable front and back spindle simultaneous machining, a proven method for reducing cycle time.

Economically priced like other B0 machines, the B0205-III Swiss Type Lathe includes many high end features such as Tsugami’s gang type tool post, rigid cast iron frame and 10,000 rpm main and 12,000 rpm sub spindle speeds. This CNC automatic lathe offers 21 tool positions: 9 OD tools positions and 12 fixed tool positions (optional 2 rotary positions for rear) for flexible 5-axis machining.

The Tsugami B0205-III is CONVERTIBLE and may be run as a traditional sliding headstock Swiss turn using the guide bushing or run without the guide bushing with the addition of an optional chucker kit. When run as a chucker, the turning center can use drawn bar stock instead of centerless ground stock, dramatically reducing remnant size and increasing shop flexibility.
