TSUGAMI VA2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features substantial cutting capacity with 14.7 inches of X-axis travel, 10.23 inches of Y-axis, and 9.84 inches of Z-axis travel, accommodating workpieces up to 440 lbs on its rigid table. The machine is powered by a robust 12 hp main motor configured for both intermittent (30 minutes) and continuous operation, delivering consistent performance across diverse machining applications. The spindle operates across an impressive range of 300 to 30,000 RPM, with a typical maximum of 28,000 RPM, enabling efficient cutting of various materials from aluminum to hard steel. The 7/24 S20T spindle taper accepts cutting tools up to 2.36 inches wide by 5.12 inches long, with rapid chip-to-chip tool changes achieved in just 1.35 seconds for maximized productivity. Control is provided by a FANUC 0i-MD CNC system, offering digital servo control with up to 4 simultaneously controlled axes, nanometer resolution capabilities for precision work, and advanced features including automatic operation and flexible feed functions. The package includes a Renishaw probe system with a 3mm stylus and backup stylus for accurate part measurement and fixture setting. Accessory toolholding comprises twelve ER16 collets and two ER20 collets, providing versatile work-holding options. At 3,969 lbs, the machine delivers the structural rigidity and thermal stability necessary for maintaining long-term machining accuracy in production environments.
