Overview

The Tsugami M08DY-II is the 8-inch chuck version of Tsugami's Y-axis turret lathe, combining live tooling, C-axis, and ±50 mm Y-axis travel for complete mill-turn capability on medium-sized parts. It's the larger-capacity version of the M06DY-II for shops whose parts regularly push past 260 mm diameter.

Capacity reaches 280 mm (11.02 in) on chuck work and 65 mm (2.56 in) on bar, driven by a 7.5/11 kW (10/14.8 HP) spindle running 200-4,500 RPM. The 12-station turret accepts live tools on all stations, and the Y-axis enables off-center milling, drilling, and tapping operations that would otherwise require a second machine. Rapid traverse runs 24 m/min on X, 12 m/min on Y, and 27 m/min on Z.

Weighing in at 5,200 kg with dimensions of 2,330 x 1,850 x 1,930 mm, the M08DY-II matches the M06DY-II in footprint and weight. The extra chuck capacity comes from the wider spindle bore and chuck accommodation, not from a larger machine frame. This means shops choosing between the 06 and 08 variants don't need to worry about additional floor space requirements.

The M08DY-II is ideal for production shops making parts like valve bodies, pump housings, hydraulic fittings, and flanges that need both precision turning and off-center milled features. Getting all features done in one clamping improves concentricity, eliminates setup-induced errors, and keeps your parts flowing through the shop faster.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

280 mm chuck and 65 mm bar capacity with Y-axis covers a wide range of medium-sized mill-turn parts
±50 mm Y-axis enables bolt circles, eccentric holes, and off-center features in a single setup
12-station turret with live tooling on all positions provides extensive tooling flexibility
Same footprint as the M06DY-II despite the larger capacity keeps floor space requirements unchanged
Single-setup completion improves concentricity between turned and milled features
7.5/11 kW spindle provides good balance of speed and torque for mixed operations

Limitations

No sub-spindle for back-working limits complete part machining to single-end operations
Y-axis rapid at 12 m/min adds cycle time when Y-axis positioning is frequent
Higher cost than non-Y-axis variants requires consistent need for off-center features to justify
Live tooling milling power can't match a dedicated machining center for heavy milling

Best For

Hydraulic fitting and valve body manufacturers producing parts with turned and drilled features Pump component shops machining housings with bolt patterns and precise turned bores Flange manufacturers needing bolt circles drilled on precision-turned blanks Aerospace fastener and fitting manufacturers with tight tolerance mill-turn requirements Job shops handling mixed parts where Y-axis capability eliminates secondary operations

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the advantage of the M08DY-II over the M08D-II?

The Y-axis. The M08D-II can only drill and mill on the part centerline, while the M08DY-II's ±50 mm Y-axis enables off-center features like bolt circles, eccentric holes, and off-center flats. If your parts need any features that aren't on center, the DY variant saves you a second setup on a VMC.

02 Does the M08DY-II have a sub-spindle?

No. For live tooling plus Y-axis plus sub-spindle, you'd want the Tsugami M08SY-II. The M08DY-II focuses on front-end mill-turn capability. Parts needing back-end machining require a second operation or a different machine in the Tsugami lineup.

03 How accurate is the Y-axis positioning?

The Y-axis delivers positioning accuracy consistent with Tsugami's precision standards. Box-way construction on the Y-axis provides the rigidity needed for accurate milling. Typical position accuracy is within ±0.005 mm. The Y-axis is well-suited for bolt circles, cross-holes, and precision-located milled features.

04 Can I program the M08DY-II using standard G-code?

Yes, the Fanuc control supports standard G-code programming for all axes including Y-axis interpolation. The control handles polar coordinate interpolation for bolt circle patterns and supports simultaneous multi-axis movement for complex milling paths. Most CAM systems have post-processors for Tsugami turret lathes with Y-axis.
