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

Tsugami B026-III — price

Est.$280,000 - $420,000

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 B026-III 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 B026-III is a Swiss-type lathe with a convertible guide bushing, covered here in two forms: a 5-axis B0265B on a FANUC 0i-TF Plus control and a 6-axis B0266 on a FANUC 32i-B. The listed table holds only those three rows and has not been checked against Tsugami, so it gives no bar capacity, spindle speed, motor rating, tool count or stroke. Treat this page as a pointer to the right model code, not a specification.

The two rows it does give are the ones that decide the configuration. The convertible guide bushing means the same machine can run long parts on the bushing or short parts as a chucker. The axis count separates the two versions, and the 6-axis B0266 moves up to the FANUC 32i-B control. Ask which of the two a quoted machine is, then get the full sheet for that model.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Convertible guide bushing: runs as a Swiss-type or as a chucker
  • Choice of 5-axis B0265B (FANUC 0i-TF Plus) or 6-axis B0266 (FANUC 32i-B)

Limitations

  • The listed table gives no bar capacity, spindle speeds, motor, tool count, stroke or weight, so none of these can be judged from this page

Best For

Shops choosing between a 5-axis and a 6-axis version of the same layout Mixed long and short parts using the convertible guide bushing Shops standardised on FANUC 0i-TF Plus or FANUC 32i-B controls

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the 5-axis and 6-axis B026-III?

The listed table names the 5-axis machine B0265B, with a FANUC 0i-TF Plus control, and the 6-axis machine B0266, with a FANUC 32i-B. It gives no other figures for either, so ask for the specification sheet of the exact model before comparing them on capacity or speed.

02 Can the B026-III run without a guide bushing?

The listed table describes the guide bushing as convertible between Swiss and chucker operation. Running on the bushing supports long, slender parts; running as a chucker suits short parts and leaves a shorter remnant at the end of each bar. The table gives no machining length for either mode.
