Our best estimate for the Tsugami VA3S is $90,000 - $140,000. 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-va3s#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.
The VA3S has 300 mm (12 in) of Z travel and the FANUC 0i-MF Plus control. The VA3 has 350 mm (14 in) of Z, the FANUC 0i-MF and weighs 2,600 kg (5,732 lb), against 2,700 kg (5,952 lb) for the VA3S. X travel of 500 mm (20 in), Y travel of 400 mm (16 in), the 250 kg (551 lb) table load and the 20,000 rpm spindle are common to both.
For plates, covers and short housings held in a low vise, usually yes. Add the height of the vise or fixture, the part and the longest tool with its holder; if that total approaches 300 mm (12 in), the VA3's 350 mm (14 in) of Z is the safer choice.
Light, fast work. The spindle runs to 20,000 rpm and is rated 3.7 / 9.0 kW (5/12 hp), which favours small end mills, drills and finishing passes in non-ferrous materials over heavy roughing.
2,700 kg (5,952 lb), with a footprint of 1,500 × 2,322 × 2,585 mm. Check ceiling height and door clearance along the delivery route, since the machine stands 2,585 mm tall.
