TSUGAMI/ REM SALES BW20 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Tsugami BW20 is a 7-axis (expandable to 8-axis) Swiss-type CNC horizontal machining center engineered for precision automatic turning and milling operations. It accommodates 0.790" maximum bar stock diameter with dual independent main spindles, each rated at 10,000 RPM and 5.0 HP, enabling simultaneous machining capabilities. The machine features a maximum turning length of 6.690" and incorporates a sub-spindle operating at 10,000 RPM with 3.0 HP for back-side finishing operations. The control system manages two independent tool carriers—both slide-type configurations—supporting up to 10 turning tools and 10 rotary tools, with capacity for two simultaneous cutting tools. The primary turning slide interfaces with a rotary tool spindle rated at 0.66 HP operating at variable speeds, while the secondary slide facilitates independent gang-tool operations. Standard equipment includes secondary mill/drill functionality both on-center and off-center, with optional Y-axis and C-axis capabilities for enhanced geometric flexibility and compound-angle machining. The 7-axis platform delivers coordinated control across X, Z, and supplementary axes for complex part geometries, reducing setup times and cycle times through integrated simultaneous machining operations. This configuration positions the BW20 as a high-productivity solution for medical devices, watchmaking, aerospace components, and precision automotive applications requiring intricate multi-feature parts produced in single-setup operations.
