The Tsugami B0204-III Swiss Type Lathe uses the same rugged framework as the B0123-III but adds a back spindle and 4 fixed tools to the configuration. This 4-axis CNC lathe has basic back spindle capability along the Z2-axis and is able to eliminate many secondary operations. This convertible Swiss style lathe features Tsugami’s proven sliding headstock technology – the fastest and most efficient way to cut small parts.

Economically priced like other B0 machines, the B0204-III includes many high end features such as Tsugami’s gang type tool post, rigid cast iron frame, robust 12,000 rpm main and sub spindle speed and a full NC package. This CNC automatic lathe offers a total of 17 tool positions: 9 OD tool positions and 8 fixed positions for flexible 4-axis manufacturing.

The B0204-III is CONVERTIBLE and may be run as a traditional sliding headstock Swiss Type Lathe using the guide bushing or run without the guide bushing with the addition of an optional chucker kit. When run as a chucker, the turning center can use drawn bar stock instead of centerless ground stock, dramatically reducing the remnant size and increasing shop flexibility.
