How much does the Tsugami FMA5-V cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a horizontal machining centers (hmc) in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Tsugami FMA5-V is the larger FMA horizontal machining center, with 560 mm (22 in) of X, 350 mm (13.8 in) of Y and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z travel on 450 × 450 mm (17.7 × 17.7 in) pallets. Tsugami America also lists a 300 × 300 mm pallet for the version it marks 5F10P, without explaining the code in its table, so ask which pallet arrangement a quoted machine has.
The envelope is the reason to step up from the FMA3 models. Against the 360 mm (14.2 in) of X and 400 mm (15.7 in) of Z on the FMA3-V, the FMA5-V takes wider parts, longer tools or two fixtures side by side on one pallet.
The spindle is less impressive. It runs from 40 to 10,000 rpm and is rated 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10.1 hp). The low end of that range helps with large taps and boring bars, but the power rating is small for a 450 mm pallet machine, and well below the 22/26/37 kW listed for the FMA3-V. Plan for light-to-medium cuts and confirm the rating with Tsugami if the work is steel.
Tool-to-tool time is 1.0 sec and chip-to-chip 5.5 sec. The pallet change takes 20 sec, more than twice the 9.0 sec of the FMA3-III, which still keeps loading off the spindle on most cycles. Rapids are 24 m/min. The machine weighs 10,800 kg (23,760 lb) and measures 4,040 × 2,485 × 2,740 mm (159 × 97.8 × 107.8 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 560 mm (22 in) of X and 500 mm (19.7 in) of Z, the largest envelope in the FMA range
- 450 × 450 mm (17.7 × 17.7 in) pallets for larger parts or multi-part fixtures
- Spindle range starts at 40 rpm, useful for large taps and boring
- 1.0 sec tool-to-tool time
Limitations
- Spindle is rated only 5.5 / 7.5 kW (7.4 / 10.1 hp), against 22/26/37 kW on the FMA3-V
- Pallet change takes 20 sec, against 9.0 sec on the FMA3-III
- Y travel of 350 mm (13.8 in) is barely more than the 330 mm (13.0 in) of the FMA3-V
- Tsugami America's table lists no tool capacity, spindle taper or pallet load

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Envelope and spindle. The FMA5-V travels 560 × 350 × 500 mm on 450 × 450 mm pallets; the FMA3-V travels 360 × 330 × 400 mm on 300 × 300 mm pallets. The FMA3-V has the far stronger 22/26/37 kW spindle to 10,000 rpm, while the FMA5-V runs 40 to 10,000 rpm at 5.5 / 7.5 kW.
02
Tsugami America lists 450 × 450 mm (17.7 × 17.7 in) pallets, or 300 × 300 mm pallets on the version marked 5F10P. The table does not explain that code or give a pallet count, so confirm the pallet system in the quotation.
03
Tool-to-tool is 1.0 sec, chip-to-chip 5.5 sec and pallet change 20 sec. The pallet change is slower than the 9.0 sec of the FMA3-III, so on short cycles the 20 sec exchange becomes a noticeable share of each part's time.
04
It weighs 10,800 kg (23,760 lb) and measures 4,040 × 2,485 × 2,740 mm (159 × 97.8 × 107.8 in). Check the floor rating and the delivery route, including door height, against those figures before ordering.
