Our best estimate for the Tsugami BM163-VR is $150,000 - $220,000. This is an estimate for a swiss-type lathes in this class, not a quote from Tsugami; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/tsugami-bm163-vr#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.
Tool count, back spindle and size. The BM165-VR carries 21 tools as standard, adds a back spindle on 2.2/3.7 kW and weighs 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). The BM163-VR has 13 tools and weighs 1,350 kg (2,976 lb). Both share the 3.7/5.5 kW main spindle at 12,000 rpm (rated 8,000 rpm).
They match on tool count, 13 as standard, and on weight, 1,350 kg (2,976 lb). The B0123-VR's main spindle is 2.2/3.7 kW and runs to 12,000 rpm with a rated 10,000 rpm. The BM163-VR has the larger 3.7/5.5 kW motor but a lower rated speed of 8,000 rpm.
32 m/min on Y1 and Z1 and 24 m/min on X1. Tsugami's table also lists 36 m/min on X2 and Z2, but marks that figure as applying to the 5-axis machine only, so confirm whether it applies to the configuration being quoted before using it in cycle estimates.
