The Tsugami SS38MH-5AX sliding headstock lathe with B-axis is a chucker-convertible, high-performance automatic CNC lathe that offers full 5-axis simultaneous machining with a FANUC 31i-B5 control.
The SS38MH-5AX is the first Tsugami of its kind. This machine’s backworking overlap with live tool capability allows for multiple tools in the cut, and shorter cycle times. This extremely versatile machine weighs in at just over 15,000 lbs and is equipped with a total of 52 tools, including a 40 tool magazine, 10 tools on the back tool post, and an optional 2 tools on the deep hole drill holder. 5 modular type live tools on back tool post for optimum allocation of machining capability.
The Tsugami SS38MH-5AX makes it possible to machine the most complex shaped parts from barstock complete, in no time and corresponds to heavy-duty cutting by dual contact holder using CAPTO C4. The linear glass scales on the X1, Y1, and Z1 axis slide is provided as standard, for ensured high accuracy machining and repeatability.
