Unmatched Versatility in a 32mm Platform

The Tsugami SS32 and B0325V-III represent a leap forward in Swiss-style turning, delivering high-performance machining for parts up to 32mm in diameter. Designed for precision and speed, this platform is ideal for medium to high-volume production, especially in industries like medical, aerospace, and automotive. With a rigid construction and thermal stability, the machine minimizes vibration and maintains exceptional tolerance, even on long production runs. The 32mm capacity opens the door for larger diameter components without sacrificing the fine detail and repeatability Swiss machines are known for.

Compact Footprint, Maximum Productivity

One of the standout features of the SS32/B0325V-III is its compact yet powerful design. It fits seamlessly into most production floors while housing advanced capabilities traditionally reserved for much larger machines. The inclusion of a 12-foot bar feeder ensures extended, unattended operation, reducing labor costs and increasing output. This allows manufacturers to optimize cycle times and minimize downtime, making it a powerhouse of lean production. For shops looking to upgrade their machining centers without overhauling floor plans, this Swiss lathe is a space-saving solution.

Tooling Capacity That Outperforms

Equipped with 25 tool positions and 5 live tools, the Tsugami SS32 supports complex part geometries and multi-process operations in a single setup. This reduces handling, improves accuracy, and speeds up production. Whether threading, grooving, drilling, or milling, this machine performs with exceptional control. The live tooling feature allows for cross and end-milling operations, giving machinists the flexibility to execute intricate features with speed and reliability. Tool changers are fast and accurate, keeping spindle idle time to a minimum.

Precision at 8,000 RPM: Spindle Performance

The 8,000 RPM main spindle delivers high-speed cutting with low runout, ensuring mirror-like finishes and tight tolerances. Such spindle speeds make it suitable for high-precision machining in materials like stainless steel, titanium, and high-performance plastics. Combined with Tsugami’s servo-driven technology, operators benefit from consistent chip load and superior surface integrity. It also enables fast tool engagement and clean separation from the workpiece, critical for complex components that can’t tolerate thermal distortion or tool marks.
