Our best estimate for the Tsugami VL3 is $100,000 - $150,000. 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-vl3#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.
The VL3 is the 30-taper, lighter machine: 700 × 450 × 350 mm (27.6 × 17.7 × 13.8 in) of travel, a 300 kg (661 lb) table load and 48 m/min rapids. The VL4 is a No.40 machine with 1,000 × 510 × 660 mm (39.4 × 20.1 × 26.0 in) of travel, an 800 kg (1,764 lb) table load and 11/15/18.5 kW. Both have a 10,000 rpm spindle and 20 tools.
BBT30 holders on a 7/24 taper No.30 spindle, with 20 tools in the magazine. The table does not list maximum tool diameter, length or weight, so check them against your largest cutters.
For drilling, tapping and moderate milling, yes. The spindle is rated 3.7/13.0 kW and runs to 10,000 rpm. Heavy face milling and large-diameter roughing in steel are better done on a No.40 machine such as the VL4, which is rated 11/15/18.5 kW.
Tsugami lists 1,900 × 2,205 × 2,385 mm (74.8 × 86.8 × 93.9 in) and 3,200 kg (7,055 lb). Allow room around that for maintenance access and chip removal.
