Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Tsugami B0126C is the most completely equipped of the 12 mm (0.47 in) C-series Swiss-type lathes, with 25 tools as standard, a back spindle and a Y axis on the second path as well as the first. Main and back spindles both run to 12,000 rpm, rated at 10,000 rpm and 8,000 rpm respectively, and both have 2.2/3.7 kW motors.

The Y2 axis is what separates it from the B0125C, which has 21 tools and stops at X2 and Z2 on the back end. An extra Y on the back-end path is the usual way to put cross holes, flats and off-centre features on the cut-off end of a part without a second operation. Y2 rapids at 15 m/min, under half the 32 m/min of Z1, Y1, X2 and Z2. On short moves that hardly shows, but it is worth allowing for when estimating cycle times. X1 runs at 24 m/min.

At 1,850 kg (4,079 lb) on 1,840 × 865 × 1,720 mm (72.4 × 34.1 × 67.7 in), it fits in the same space as the B0125C. The B0128W has the same 25-tool standard capacity but adds X3 and Y3 axes, uses a lower 1.5/2.2 kW spindle rating and weighs 2,150 kg (4,740 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

25 tools as standard, four more than the B0125C
Y2 axis on the second path, listed at 15 m/min, for off-centre back-end features
Main and back spindles both reach 12,000 rpm with 2.2/3.7 kW motors
32 m/min rapids on Z1, Y1, X2 and Z2

Limitations

Y2 rapid of 15 m/min is under half the 32 m/min of the main axes
Back spindle rated speed is 8,000 rpm, below the 10,000 rpm main spindle rating
Bar work is limited to 12 mm (0.47 in) diameter

Best For

Small parts with cross holes or flats on the cut-off end Complex 12 mm (0.47 in) parts needing up to 25 tools Turning of small diameters at up to 12,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the B0126C add over the B0125C?

Four more tools and a back-end Y axis. The B0126C has 25 tools as standard and lists a Y2 axis at 15 m/min, while the B0125C has 21 tools and no Y2. Weight rises from 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) on the B0125C to 1,850 kg (4,079 lb). Bar capacity, spindle speeds, motor ratings and footprint are shared.

02 How does the B0126C compare with the B0126-VR?

Both take 12 mm (0.47 in) bar and weigh 1,850 kg. The B0126-VR lists 28 tool stations, 11 of them driven, and 8,000 rpm live tools on a 1,750 × 1,054 × 1,699 mm footprint. The B0126C table gives 25 tools and states no live-tool count or speed, so ask Tsugami for those before choosing between them.

03 What are the rapid traverse rates of the B0126C?

32 m/min on Z1, Y1, X2 and Z2, 24 m/min on X1 and 15 m/min on Y2. The slower Y2 rate applies only to the back-end Y axis, so it affects cycles with many off-centre moves on the cut-off end more than ordinary turning.
