TSUGAMI FMA3-III HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Tsugami FMA3-III is a high-speed precision horizontal machining center designed for unattended, long-term automatic operation. This compact machine features a working envelope of 14.17" X-axis, 12.99" Y-axis, and 15.74" Z-axis travel, enabling versatile four-face machining capabilities. Powered by a 10 HP spindle motor with maximum speed of 10,000 RPM and CAT 40 taper, the machine delivers rapid traverse rates of 24 m/min across all axes with exceptional repeatability of ±0.002mm. The 64-tool capacity automatic changer ensures continuous productivity with minimal interruption. The FMA3-III's defining feature is its unique vertical-type pallet system, which enables free-chip-flow away from tool shanks and optimizes chip disposal for enhanced reliability during unattended cycles. Standard configurations accommodate 11.81" square pallets with a rapid 9-second pallet change time and 5-second chip-to-chip operation. The machine utilizes Fanuc 18i-MB CNC control, known for user-friendly operation and precise part positioning with ±0.002mm repeatability. Measuring 159" x 98" x 108" and weighing 23,148 lbs, this space-efficient horizontal machining center is engineered for job shops and production environments requiring high-accuracy component manufacturing. Optional vertical-loop pallet magazines and 20-pallet configurations provide extended unattended run capabilities, while the robust construction maintains consistent dimensional accuracy throughout extended machining cycles.
