Our best estimate for the Tsugami BW128Z-II is $260,000 - $390,000. 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-bw128z-ii#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.
The table does not say which came first. What it shows is a different Z3 stroke: 5 mm (0.20 in) on the BW128Z-II, 60 mm (2.36 in) on the BW128Z-I. Everything else listed, from the 12 mm (0.47 in) bar capacity to the 2,850 kg (6,283 lb) weight, is identical.
It is enough to bring a tool on the third group into position and back, or to take a shallow axial cut such as a face or a chamfer. It is not enough to drill a hole of any depth from that group. If parts need that, the BW128Z-I gives 60 mm (2.36 in).
Eight are listed in the rapid traverse row: X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Z2, X3, Y3 and Z3. Z1, X2 and Z2 move at 32 m/min, Y1 and Y3 at 24 m/min, and X1, X3 and Z3 at 12 m/min.
Both the main and the back spindle are rated 1.5/2.2 kW. The main spindle reaches 12,000 rpm with a rated 10,000 rpm; the back spindle reaches 12,000 rpm with a rated 8,000 rpm. That suits small-diameter work where surface speed, not torque, sets the cycle.
