Overview
The Tsugami M06DY-II adds Y-axis capability to the D-series live tooling platform, unlocking off-center milling and drilling that's impossible with just X, Z, and C axes. If you've ever had to move a turned part to a VMC just to put an off-center hole or flat on it, the M06DY-II eliminates that second operation entirely.
The machine handles chuck work up to 260 mm (10.24 in) and bar stock up to 51 mm (2 in). Its 7.5/11 kW (10/14.8 HP) spindle runs 200-4,500 RPM, matching the D-series lineup. The 12-station turret accepts live tooling, and the Y-axis provides ±50 mm (±1.97 in) of cross travel for positioning milled features anywhere on the part face, not just on center.
Rapid traverse rates are 24 m/min on X, 12 m/min on Y, and 27 m/min on Z. The Y-axis is naturally slower due to its perpendicular orientation and the structural requirements for maintaining rigidity. At 5,200 kg and 2,330 x 1,850 x 1,930 mm, the M06DY-II is slightly taller and 500 kg heavier than the standard M06D-II, reflecting the additional Y-axis mechanism.
The Y-axis transforms what's possible on a turret lathe. Off-center holes, bolt circles, eccentric features, and complex milled pockets all become single-setup operations. For shops producing parts like pump housings, valve bodies, and flanges with bolt patterns, the M06DY-II dramatically reduces the number of setups and machines needed to complete a part.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Y-axis with ±50 mm travel enables off-center drilling, milling, and tapping that eliminates secondary VMC operations
- 12-station turret with live tooling provides extensive tooling for complex, multi-feature parts
- C-axis plus Y-axis combination allows bolt circle drilling, eccentric features, and complex milled geometry
- 7.5/11 kW spindle motor handles a wide range of materials for both turning and milling
- 5,200 kg machine weight provides rigidity for stable milling operations
- Single-setup part completion improves accuracy and reduces lead times
Limitations
- No sub-spindle limits the machine to single-end part completion
- Y-axis rapid traverse of 12 m/min is slower than X and Z, adding cycle time on Y-heavy programs
- Higher cost than non-Y-axis D-series variants may not be justified for parts without off-center features
- Taller machine height (1,930 mm) may require consideration for overhead clearance

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Without Y-axis, the live tooling can only drill and mill on the part centerline. The Y-axis adds ±50 mm of cross travel, letting you position tools off-center. This enables bolt circle drilling, eccentric holes, off-center flats, and complex milled features anywhere on the part face. It's the difference between basic cross-drilling and true mill-turn capability.
02
Same platform, different capacities. The M06DY-II handles 260 mm chuck work and 51 mm bar stock, while the M08DY-II steps up to 280 mm and 65 mm respectively. Both share the same ±50 mm Y-axis, 12-station turret, and 7.5/11 kW spindle. Choose based on your part diameter requirements.
03
If your parts need off-center holes, bolt patterns, or eccentric milled features, absolutely. The Y-axis eliminates a separate VMC operation, saving setup time, improving feature-to-feature accuracy, and reducing work-in-process. If your parts only need on-center cross-drilling and basic milling, the standard M06D-II will do the job for less.
04
Yes, that's one of its strongest applications. The C-axis positions the part angularly while the Y-axis offsets the drill to the correct bolt circle radius. The Fanuc control handles the polar interpolation programming. You can drill complete bolt patterns in a single setup with excellent position accuracy.
