TSUGAMI/ REM SALES BS18 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TSUGAMI/REM SALES BS18 is a high-precision horizontal machining center designed for complex, high-volume production of small to medium-sized parts. Featuring a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 0.710" and a bar diameter capacity of 0.720", it delivers robust performance for demanding applications. The main spindle achieves speeds up to 8,000 RPM with 5.0 HP, while the sub-spindle operates at up to 4,000 RPM with 0.7 HP, enabling efficient secondary operations. The machine supports a maximum turning length of 18.000" on the main spindle and 5.510" on the sub-spindle, providing flexibility for a wide range of part geometries. Equipped with dual slide tool carriers, the BS18 offers up to 5 turning tools and 2 rotary tools on the primary carrier, and 5 turning tools and 3 rotary tools on the secondary carrier, each rotary tool rated at 0.7 HP. With the ability to use up to 2 simultaneous cutting tools, the machine ensures high productivity and precision. The BS18 features 5 standard axes, expandable to 6 for enhanced multitasking capabilities. Axis travels include 3.100" on the X-axis and 5.510" on the Z-axis, with rapid traverse rates of 630 ipm on all axes for fast cycle times. This machining center combines advanced spindle technology, versatile tooling options, and high-speed axis movement, making it ideal for precision Swiss-type machining and complex multitasking operations.
