TSUGAMI B0205-III CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This CNC lathe features an X-axis travel of 1.77 inches and a Z-axis travel of 8.26 inches, with a distance between centers of 8 inches, accommodating bar stock up to 0.79 inches in diameter. Equipped with dual spindles, the main spindle operates at up to 10,000 RPM powered by a 5 HP motor, while the second spindle runs at 12,000 RPM with a 3 HP motor. Both spindles utilize collet chucks with a spindle bore diameter of 0.79 inches, optimized for precision gripping of small-diameter workpieces. The machine supports live milling operations with a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 RPM and provides 21 tool positions, enabling versatile tool changes and complex machining sequences. The system is controlled by a Fanuc 0i-TF CNC control unit, known for reliable high-performance CNC machining and ease of programming. This configuration is suited for precision turning and milling of small, detailed parts with robust spindle power and flexible tooling options, ideal for industries requiring high accuracy and moderate-speed machining. The combination of two spindles, substantial motor power, and a comprehensive tool turret enables simultaneous multi-operation capability, improving throughput and reducing setup times. The spindle speeds and motor sizes align well with machining common metals and composites, supporting a range of cutting parameters for optimized surface finish and tool life. Overall, this machine is designed for compact, precise, and efficient CNC turning and milling, providing a balance of speed, torque, and tool diversity in a small footprint.
