Tsugami/Rem Sales Introduces the newly enhanced Tsugami SS327-III-5AX; 32mm, B-Axis, Chucker-Convertible Swiss CNC Lathe

July 23, 2020

Tsugami/Rem Sales, the exclusive North American importer of Precision Tsugami machine tools, announced today that it has introduced the newly enhanced Tsugami SS327-III-5AX, 32mm, B-Axis, Chucker-Convertible Swiss CNC Lathe to the manufacturing industry.

The SS327-III-5AX’s servo-driven, modular B-axis allows for the cutting of complex parts, complete in a single setup, while applying the capability for through hole thread whirling or high speed spindles for small surfacing end mills. The B-axis contains live tools (four front, two rear) which can machine in coordination with the C-axis, delivering the ability to cut precise angles and sculpted contours. The B-axis functionality transforms this Swiss type lathe into a multitasking turning center that can drill, tap, and end mill any angle.

The modular tool zone makes it easy to change cartridge-type live cross and face tools on the B-axis and the sub side, decreasing changeover time.  Multiple angle cuts by the same tool also decreases the total number of tools required. For machining complex shapes, this is the ultimate Swiss type lathe.

Enhancements to the Tsugami SS327-III-5AX include larger linear guides, increased ribs in the already solid base casting, a 4GB data server, Thermal Displacement Compensation sensors throughout, and 3 toggle clamping system, all standard on this robust platform.

 Key Advantages:

  • 7-axis Machining, Simultaneous 4 & 5-axis Machining (with CAD/CAM)
  • Servo-driven, Modular B-axis Tool Spindle can machine virtually any angle – drilling, tapping, end milling
  • B-axis Live Tools (four front, two rear) create sculpted shapes. NOTE: Bottom two front facing tools are modular
  • Mutual Tool Use for Different Angles via B-Axis Control
  • Modular Tool Zone, cartridge type live face tools on the sub spindle side and B-Axis
  • Large Linear Guides
  • 3 Toggle Clamping System
  • Thermal Displacement Compensation
  • 4GB Data Server
  • Fanuc 31i-B5
