Tsugami B0205 — price

Est.$120,000 - $200,000

This is our best estimate for a machine of this type and class, built from published prices of comparable swiss-type lathes and typical dealer pricing. Tsugami has not published a list price for the Tsugami B0205 that we can cite. Treat it as a planning number, not a quote.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The Tsugami B0205 is a Ø20 mm (0.8 in) Swiss-type lathe with 5 axes, a back spindle and 21 tool positions, 4 of them live at 8,000 rpm. Its main spindle runs 200-10,000 rpm on 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp); the back spindle is faster, at 200-12,000 rpm, on 2.2 kW (3 HP). The figures come from an authorised Tsugami dealer's page.

The listed maximum turning length is 210 mm (8.3 in), and the headstock stroke is given as 45/210 mm (1.8/8.3 in), so a shaft of that length can be made in one chucking. The 45 mm (1.8 in) figure is the short stroke normally quoted for running without the guide bushing, which suits short parts where a shorter remnant matters more than reach.

Driven tooling is the part of the table to read closely. With 4 live positions at 8,000 rpm, the machine covers cross holes, flats and light slotting; parts with many milled features will be limited by the count. The back spindle, at 2.2 kW (3 HP), is sized for finishing the second end rather than heavy back-end cuts.

Among its neighbours, the B0125 is the smaller machine, with Ø12 mm (0.5 in) bar on 1.5/2.2 kW (2/2.9 hp) and the same 21 tool positions. The S206 takes the same Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar but carries 31/45 tools on 6 axes and weighs 3,750 kg (8,267.3 lb). The B0205 occupies 1,125 × 1,655 × 1,700 mm (44.3 × 65.2 × 66.9 in). The table gives no control model, so confirm it on the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Back spindle runs 200-12,000 rpm, faster than the 200-10,000 rpm main spindle
  • 210 mm (8.3 in) maximum turning length for long parts in one chucking
  • 21 tool positions, 4 of them live at 8,000 rpm
  • Main motor of 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp) on a Ø20 mm (0.8 in) machine
  • Compact at 1,125 × 1,655 × 1,700 mm (44.3 × 65.2 × 66.9 in)

Limitations

  • Only 4 live tool positions, at 8,000 rpm, so milled features are limited
  • The S206 carries 31/45 tools against 21 here for the same Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar
  • Back spindle power is 2.2 kW (3 HP), so heavy back-end cuts are limited
  • The table names no control model, so confirm it on the quotation

Best For

Turned parts from bar up to Ø20 mm (0.8 in) Shafts and pins up to 210 mm (8.3 in) long in one chucking Parts with cross holes or flats within 4 live positions Two-ended parts finished on a 200-12,000 rpm back spindle

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How many live tools does the B0205 have?

4 of the 21 tool positions are live, running at 8,000 rpm. Check that the job's driven-tool operations fit within those 4 before quoting it on this machine; parts with many milled features belong on a machine with more driven positions.

02 How long a part can the B0205 make in one chucking?

The listed maximum turning length is 210 mm (8.3 in), and the headstock stroke is given as 45/210 mm (1.8/8.3 in). Long parts use the full 210 mm stroke; the 45 mm (1.8 in) figure is the short stroke that normally applies when running without the guide bushing.

03 What is the difference between the B0205 and the B0125?

Bar size and motor. The B0205 takes Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar with a 200-10,000 rpm main spindle on 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp). The B0125 takes Ø12 mm (0.5 in) bar on 1.5/2.2 kW (2/2.9 hp). Both have 21 tool positions and live tools at 8,000 rpm.

04 Should I look at the S206 instead?

If the part needs more tools. The S206 takes the same Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar and the same 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp) spindle rating but carries 31/45 tools, at 3,750 kg (8,267.3 lb). The B0205 has 21 positions, which is enough for most turned parts with modest cross work.
