Our best estimate for the Tsugami VL4 is $130,000 - $190,000. 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-vl4#price; the request is passed to Tsugami or an authorised dealer.
For height and length. The VL4 has 660 mm (26.0 in) of Z and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of X on a 1,100 × 510 mm table. The VA4-II has 460 mm (18.1 in) of Z and 850 mm (33.5 in) of X on a 1,000 × 510 mm (39.4 × 20.1 in) table, but holds 30 tools where the VL4 holds 20.
BBT40 holders on a 7/24 taper No.40 spindle, with 20 tools in the magazine. Maximum tool diameter, length and weight are not listed in the published table, so confirm them for large face mills and long drills.
800 kg (1,764 lb) as a uniform load, on a 1,100 × 510 mm (43.3 × 20.1 in) table. A rotary table, its tailstock and the part all count toward that figure.
A floor area of 2,564 × 2,655 mm (101 × 105 in), a height clearance of 2,852 mm (112 in) and a foundation for 5,200 kg (11,464 lb). Plan the delivery route with the height in mind.
