Tsugami/Rem Sales premiers range of machine tools

Windsor, Connecticut – The Tsugami S206-II with IMG 400LS Laser Cutting System will make its first West Coast appearance during WESTEC. The Tsugami LaserSwiss combines 6-axis Swiss machining with laser cutting on one machine, allowing manufacturers to perform Swiss turning and laser cutting operations with one setup. All operations are programmed and driven from the machine’s Fanuc 32i-B control. The nozzle standoff adjustment is NC controlled, and the laser’s frequency, pulse width, focus, and power are all adjustable ‘on the fly.’

“This machine has the potential to profoundly change the way small, tubular parts are made,” Tsugami/Rem Sales Vice President Mike Mugno said. “It replaces two machines with one, eliminates the need for multiple part setups, and significantly reduces part production time.” 

The new Tsugami BW209Z Split-Slide CNC Precision Automatic Lathe will make its U.S. debut as well. “This machine is so new that only a handful of people have seen it,” Mugno said, adding that it will be shipped directly from Tsugami headquarters in Japan just in time for the show. 

Other Tsugami machine tools scheduled for display include the B0206-II and B0326-II 6-axis Swiss Turns. The 20mm and 32mm machines, respectively, are both convertible, meaning they can be run as traditional sliding headstock machines with a guide bushing or as chuckers without their guide bushings.
