How much does the Tsugami C150 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Tsugami C150 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Tsugami C150 is a compact precision chucking lathe, not a sliding-headstock machine: it holds work in a 3 in or 4 in chuck, swings up to 220 mm (8.66 in) and has 150 mm (5.91 in) of travel on both X and Z. Its spindle runs to 15,000 rpm (rated 12,000 rpm) and is rated 1.5/2.2 kW, which points it at small diameters where surface speed matters more than torque.
Two rows say a lot about the intended work. The least input increment is 0.01 µm on X, stated in diameter, which is resolution aimed at fine-tolerance turning. And the weight and footprint are given with the loader included: 1,400 kg (3,086 lb) with the loader and 2 pallets, on 1,127 × 1,125 × 1,872 mm (44.4 × 44.3 × 73.7 in). That is a small cell for unattended loading of short parts.
Rapid traverse is 15 m/min. On a machine with 150 mm strokes the moves are short, so the rapid rate costs less cycle time than the figure alone suggests, but it is below the 24 m/min of the C180.
The C180 is the closest relative: same 220 mm (8.66 in) swing, same 3 in or 4 in chuck, same 15,000 rpm spindle at 1.5/2.2 kW, but with 300 mm (11.8 in) of X travel, and it weighs 2,200 kg (4,850 lb) with its loader and 2 pallets. For bigger parts and more power, the C220 swings 260 mm (10.2 in), uses a 4 in chuck and has a 2.2/3.7 kW spindle running to 12,000 rpm (rated 10,000 rpm).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Spindle runs to 15,000 rpm (rated 12,000 rpm) for small-diameter turning
- 0.01 µm least input increment on X (in diameter)
- Weight of 1,400 kg (3,086 lb) and a 1,127 × 1,125 mm (44.4 × 44.3 in) footprint include the loader and 2 pallets
- Takes a 3 in or 4 in chuck
- 150 mm (5.91 in) of travel on X and on Z
Limitations
- Spindle power is 1.5/2.2 kW, limiting heavier cuts; the C220 has 2.2/3.7 kW
- Rapid traverse of 15 m/min, against 24 m/min on the C180
- Swing is limited to 220 mm (8.66 in) and strokes to 150 mm (5.91 in)
- X travel is half the 300 mm (11.8 in) of the C180

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The C150 table describes a chucking lathe: a 3 in or 4 in chuck, 220 mm (8.66 in) swing and 150 mm (5.91 in) of X and Z travel, with a loader and 2 pallets included in the weight and footprint. There is no bar capacity or guide bushing row.
02
The C180 has 300 mm (11.8 in) of X travel against 150 mm (5.91 in), rapids at 24 m/min against 15 m/min, and weighs 2,200 kg (4,850 lb) with its loader and 2 pallets. Swing, chuck sizes, spindle speed and spindle power are the same on both.
03
1,127 × 1,125 × 1,872 mm (44.4 × 44.3 × 73.7 in) with the loader included, and 1,400 kg (3,086 lb) including the loader and 2 pallets. That makes it easy to place several machines side by side.
04
It reaches 15,000 rpm and is rated 12,000 rpm, at 1.5/2.2 kW. The high speed suits small diameters and fine finishing passes; for heavier stock removal, the C220 has a 2.2/3.7 kW spindle.
