TSUGAMI/ REM SALES BS12 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Tsugami/Rem Sales BS12 Horizontal Machining Center is a high-precision CNC Swiss-type lathe engineered for demanding small-part production. Designed for optimal rigidity and accuracy, the machine features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 0.500" and a maximum turning length of 18.000", supporting bar stock up to 0.500" in diameter. The main spindle operates at speeds up to 12,000 RPM with 3.0 HP and offers a 5.000° index increment, while the sub-spindle reaches 4,000 RPM with 0.8 HP and a 15.000° index increment. The system includes two independent slide tool carriers, each capable of holding up to 5 turning tools and multiple rotary tools—up to 2 on the primary and 3 on the secondary, each with 0.7 HP. This configuration enables simultaneous machining operations, supporting up to 2 tools cutting at once. The machine operates on 5 axes as standard, with options for 6-axis configurations, providing enhanced flexibility for complex geometries. Axis travel includes 3.100" on X and 5.510" on Z, with rapid traverse rates of 630 ipm on X, Y, and Z axes for fast tool indexing and reduced cycle times. The BS12 is ideal for high-volume, precision applications requiring tight tolerances and rapid changeovers, making it a versatile solution for advanced Swiss-style machining.
