Tsugami B0326-II Multi-Spindle CNC Automatic

The Tsugami B0326-II Multi-Spindle CNC Automatic is listed here as a 6-spindle bar automatic for bar up to 32 mm, with a 6,000 rpm maximum spindle speed and 6 cross slides, one per position, plus an end-working unit. These figures come from a third-party listing, not from Tsugami, and nobody has been able to check them against the maker.

Treat the listed table with care. It carries a model row reading BW129Z, which does not match the B0326-II name; it gives a spindle bore of 23.5 mm, smaller than the 32 mm bar figure in the same table; and its two power rows disagree with each other. The listed weight of approx. 14,000 kg is also far above the 4,000 kg (8,818 lb) shown for the B0326.

Anyone considering a machine sold under this name should check the nameplate, the spindle count and the bar capacity on the machine itself and ask for the original documentation before relying on any figure on this page.

If the listed layout is right, every spindle position has its own cross slide and the end-working unit handles axial work, so forming, drilling and cut-off run at the same time across the 6 positions. On a machine like that the cycle time is set by the longest single operation rather than the sum of them, which is what makes a multi-spindle worth its floor space on long runs.
