SS26 - 26mm Opposed Gang Tool CNC Lathe, Modular Tool Zone

Because of the unique Tsugami Modular Tool Zone, the SS26 CNC Lathe features unmatched flexibility in making complex small parts. Individual live and static tools may be swapped out easily, and entire set-ups and changeovers can be completed rapidly. With added chucker convertibility, this is the machine for today’s demanding long run/short run machine shop environment.

Strength, Flexibility, Modularity for Small Parts

The Tsugami SS26 Opposed Gang Tool CNC Lathe is a rugged performer capable of taking on deep cuts while maintaining simultaneous machining on the main and sub spindle. Tsugami’s unique Modular Tool Zone is a key component of the SS series of Swiss Type Lathes and allows easy replacement of rotary tools, indexed tool holders and turning tool holders. The result? Faster set-up and changeover times, and greater flexibility in scheduling long and short part runs. The SS26 Lathe’s ability to use the main and sub spindle independently and simultaneously dramatically cuts cycle time as well.

Overall, tool modularity, rugged construction and simultaneous machining capability transform the exceptional Swiss turn into a multi-faceted machine tool.

The SS26 CNC Lathe is CONVERTIBLE and may be run as a traditional sliding headstock Swiss Type Lathe using the guide bushing or run without the guide bushing with the addition of an optional chucker kit. When run in chucker mode, the lathe can use drawn bar stock instead of centerless ground stock, dramatically reducing remnant size and increasing shop flexibility.
