Tsugami C300-V

The Tsugami C300-V is a precision gang tool post CNC automatic lathe from Tsugami's C-series, estimated to handle bar stock up to approximately 30 mm based on the model naming convention. The '-V' designation indicates a vertical configuration of the gang tool post, which helps with chip evacuation and reduces the thermal effects of chip buildup on the workpiece and tooling.

Like all C-series machines from Tsugami, the C300-V is designed around precision and repeatability rather than raw versatility. The gang tool post layout eliminates turret indexing time entirely, making it ideal for high-volume production where every tenth of a second in cycle time matters. The vertical orientation of the tool post lets gravity assist with chip clearing, which is particularly beneficial when machining materials that produce stringy chips like stainless steel and aluminum alloys.

The machine runs on a FANUC control, maintaining programming compatibility with other Tsugami machines in the lineup. The C-series platforms are known for their thermal stability, using pretensioned ball screws and symmetrical construction to minimize dimensional drift during long production runs.

As a Japan-market model, the C300-V's detailed specifications are published primarily in Japanese technical documentation. Shops outside Japan typically acquire these through Tsugami's international distribution network or the used equipment market. For operations focused on high-precision, high-speed production of turned parts in the 20-30 mm range, the C300-V represents Tsugami's approach to maximizing accuracy and throughput in a compact, purpose-built platform.
