Frequently Asked Questions: Tsugami SS327-III-5AX

How much does the Tsugami SS327-III-5AX cost?

Our best estimate for the Tsugami SS327-III-5AX is $440,000 - $600,000. 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-ss327-iii-5ax#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.

What does the 5AX version add over the SS327-III?

A B axis for angled live tooling, with B-axis tools running to 7,000 rpm and the other driven tools to 6,000 rpm, and a FANUC 31i-B5 control. The SS327-III's table lists 38 tools as standard and an 8,000 rpm main spindle rated 6,000 rpm at 3.7/5.5 kW. Both machines weigh 4,000 kg.

How long a part can the SS327-III-5AX machine in one chucking?

Up to 330 mm (12.99 in) with the guide bushing in place. In chucker mode, without the bushing, the limit is 70 mm (2.74 in). Longer parts need re-chucking, which on a Swiss-type machine means the headstock regripping the bar during the cycle.

Can it run without a guide bushing?

Yes. Tsugami America lists chucker mode for this machine. It is meant for short parts up to 70 mm (2.74 in) of machining length, where the support of the bushing is not needed and dropping it can save bar.

How fast are the live tools?

7,000 rpm for the B-axis tools and 6,000 rpm for the other driven positions. That covers drilling, tapping and milling with mid-size cutters on 32 mm (1.25 in) work. For very small end mills, the SS20MH-III-5AX offers 25,000 rpm on its tool spindle.

How heavy is the machine and how much space does it take?

4,000 kg (8,800 lb), with a footprint of 2,150 × 1,280 × 2,010 mm (84.6 × 50.3 × 79.1 in). Confirm whether a bar feeder is included in that length when planning the floor layout.
