The 2019 Tsugami SS327-III-5AX B-Axis Sliding Headstock Swiss Type Lathe is a high-precision, multi-tasking CNC machine designed for complex machining operations in medical, aerospace, and high-precision manufacturing. With a 1.25” maximum bar capacity, this machine offers seamless part production with unmatched accuracy and efficiency.
Equipped with 7-axis control and a sliding headstock with a convertible guide bushing, the SS327-III-5AX allows operators to switch between guide bushing and non-guide bushing (chucker) modes, enhancing versatility for short and long part runs. The main and sub-spindles operate at speeds of 200 to 8,000 RPM, ensuring efficient and precise cutting on both ends of the workpiece. The B-axis live tooling capability enables 5-axis simultaneous machining, allowing for angled drilling, contouring, and complex geometries in a single setup.
With 36 tool positions and up to 20 live tool stations, this machine provides extensive tooling flexibility to handle milling, drilling, and tapping operations. The live tool speeds reach 7,000 RPM on B-axis tools and 6,000 RPM for other tools, maximizing cutting performance and efficiency. The machine is controlled by a FANUC 31i-B5 system, offering advanced programming capabilities, real-time monitoring, and seamless automation integration.
Weighing 8,800 lbs and with a compact footprint of 84.6” x 50.3” x 79.1”, the Tsugami SS327-III-5AX is designed for high-speed, high-accuracy production in a space-efficient design. Whether used for medical components, aerospace parts, or precision automotive machining, this Swiss-type lathe delivers exceptional results with reduced cycle times and minimal operator intervention.
