Our best estimate for the Tsugami VA3 is $80,000 - $130,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) 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-va3#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.
Both have 500 mm (20 in) of X, 400 mm (16 in) of Y, a 250 kg (551 lb) table load and a 20,000 rpm spindle. The VA3 has 350 mm (14 in) of Z against 300 mm (12 in) on the VA3S. The VA3S uses the FANUC 0i-MF Plus control and weighs 2,700 kg (5,952 lb), against 2,600 kg (5,732 lb) for the VA3 with the 0i-MF.
Light work, yes. With 9.0 / 3.7 kW (12.1 / 5 hp) on the spindle, the VA3 is set up for small tools at high speed rather than heavy stock removal. Shops that rough steel regularly should look at the VL3, which has a 10,000 rpm (rated 8,000 rpm) No.30 spindle rated 3.7/13.0 kW.
250 kg (551 lb) on a 650 × 400 mm (26 × 16 in) table. Add up the vise or fixture, any rotary unit and the part before committing a job, especially when a fourth axis is part of the plan.
Tsugami America lists a footprint of 1,500 × 2,180 × 2,373 mm and a weight of 2,600 kg (5,732 lb). Leave room for door swing, chip removal and maintenance access around that envelope.
