NEW SWISS-STYLE MACHINE TOOLS
Tsugami (Windsor, CT) will debut three new Swiss-style machine tools at IMTS 2010, according to a spokesperson from Rem Sales, the exclusive North American importer of the line of precision machine tools.
The new product line-up from Tsugami will include the S206 20 mm CNC Precision Automatic Lathe with Back Working Y-Axis; the SS26 26 mm Chucker Convertible Super Swiss Turn, and the SS207 20mm Super Swiss Turn with B-Axis. All models feature opposed gang slides and Tsugami?s user-friendly automatic programming system that permits true simultaneous operation of the main and sub spindle in order to maximize machining capabilities and flexibility.
The S206 20 mm Swiss-style machine premiered at EASTEC with the live cutting of a high-helix, cannulated screw representative of a precision medical component. The application engineers from Rem Sales will repeat the demonstration at IMTS while highlighting the integration of advanced tooling and accessories, including software to assist with drilling operations.
The SS26 26 mm Super Swiss Turn is chucker convertible, providing added flexibility to configure the machine as desired. Its modular and roomy tool zone design reduces set-up and changeover times, making it ideal for shops with diverse jobs and variable lot sizes. The SS207 20 mm Super Swiss Turn is the next generation model within the popular SS Series platform. Built with the same high quality standard features of other SS models, the SS207 is distinguished by the addition of continuous B-Axis control, lending it the characteristics of a 4-axis or 5-axis machining center.
In addition to the three new S and SS Series models, Rem Sales will display several leading Swiss-style machines currently within the Tsugami product line. The SS32 Super Swiss Turn, the BH20 and BH38 premium CNC Precision Automatic Lathes, the BE20 easy operation CNC Precision Automatic Lathe, and TMU1 sliding headstock. The Precision Turning Center with ATC’s precision machining capabilities will be demonstrated, performing live cutting of various parts, including a sample fuel nozzle.
