EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Tsugami BE18 is a production-proven Swiss-type CNC turning center engineered for high-precision, small-diameter turned parts. The sliding headstock and guide bushing system provide workpiece support at the cutting zone, minimizing deflection on long, slender parts and enabling consistent tolerances across high-volume runs.

The Fanuc Series 32i control offers a well-supported, industry-standard platform with fast block processing, straightforward G-code programming, and broad compatibility with existing post-processors and CAM systems. Maintenance, spare parts, and technical documentation are readily available.

The included Edge barfeeder allows extended unattended operation, reducing per-part labor costs and maximizing spindle uptime during multi-shift and lights-out production.

Suitable applications include medical components, hydraulic fittings, automotive fasteners, fluid control components, and precision-threaded parts requiring tight dimensional tolerances in materials up to 18 mm diameter.

IDEAL FOR

• High-volume small-diameter turned parts
• Medical, dental, and implant components
• Automotive and hydraulic fittings
• Precision threaded and cross-drilled components
• Lights-out / unattended production environments
