TSUGAMI/ REM SALES FMA 3-II HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TSUGAMI/REM SALES FMA 3-II is a horizontal machining center featuring a compact yet robust cubic-shaped bed architecture that enhances structural rigidity between the cutter and workpiece. The machine includes a standard support index (pallet) table sized 11.75" x 11.75" with an optional increase to 18.74" x 18.74", designed to handle workpieces up to 176 lbs. It is equipped with a BT#40 spindle taper running horizontally, capable of speeds up to 10,000 RPM (with an optional 15,000 RPM upgrade) powered by a 10 HP motor rated for 30 minutes. The unit utilizes a 32-station automatic tool changer with fast tool change times of 1 second and chip-to-chip intervals of 5 seconds, with an optional expansion to 190 tools. The machine operates on three axes (X: 14.17", Y: 13.00", Z: 15.75") with rapid traverse rates up to 945 inches per minute. The control system is typically a Fanuc 18iM CNC. The standard pallet changer supports 10 pallets, expandable to 20 for longer unattended operation. Additional features include high-precision pallet clamping, automatic tool length measurement, tool breakage detection, and a vertical pallet magazine for efficient chip disposal and enhanced productivity. Optional accessories include rotary tables and expanded tool magazines, optimizing the machine for complex, high-rigidity horizontal machining tasks in medium to high-volume production environments.
