SWISS TURN WITH OPPOSED TOOLS, FOR COMPLICATED WORKPIECES

Tsugami's newest 20mm (0.787 in.) Swiss-turn, the SS-20, is designed specifically for short cycle times and premium performance. The SS-20 achieves a new standard in Swiss capability.

Key features include: a modular tool zone with up to 25 resident tools; a Fanuc 31i-A dual path CNC; 220mm (8.67 in.) of stroke; and a rugged, fine ground cast iron base. The Tsugami SS-20 easily handles cross and face milling, drilling and tapping, as well as angular drilling, thread whirling and polygon turning.

A unique modular tooling system offers a combination of capability and flexibility. The SS-20's standard main spindle configuration includes seven turning tools, five cross rotary tools, and five ID tools, while the standard subspindle configuration includes four ID stations, two face drills, and two cross rotary tools. Rapid changes to the configuration of main and subspindle cross rotary, ID and turning tools can be made, allowing for efficient machining of a greater variety of parts. Thread whirling, polygon turning and angular face drilling operations are possible with an adjustable face tool attachment.

Among the heaviest 20mm machines in the industry, the SS-20's fine ground cast iron base and rugged main spindle contribute significantly to reduced cycle times by allowing for maximum material removal. In most cases, separate roughing and finishing passes are no longer necessary. When deep cuts are combined with Tsugami's unique opposed gang slides and simultaneous operation of the 8,000rpm main and sub spindles, dramatic cycle time reductions can be achieved.
