How much does the Tsugami NH4C 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 NH4C is listed as a 4-axis horizontal machining center with 400 mm x 400 mm pallets, 560 mm (22.0 in) of travel on each of X, Y and Z, and a 15,000 RPM spindle rated 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 95 Nm (70 ft-lb). The model does not appear on Tsugami's current product pages, so none of these figures could be checked against the maker; treat the listed table as a starting point for questions, not a specification.
In pallet size the NH4C sits between the 300 × 300 mm FMA3-V and the 450 × 450 mm FMA5-V. Its 560 mm X matches the FMA5-V, while its Y and Z are both longer than the 350 mm and 500 mm of the FMA5-V. The listed B-axis rotary table resolves to 0.001°, a 2-pallet APC is listed as standard, and the magazine holds 40 tools with 60 as an option. Chip-to-chip time is given as 2.5 seconds and rapids as 50 m/min (1,969 ipm).
The table also names a Mitsubishi M80 control and gives positioning accuracy of ±0.003 mm and repeatability of ±0.002 mm. Anyone looking at a used NH4C should confirm the control, the magazine size and the actual travels on the machine itself. The listed weight is 8,500 kg (18,739 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 560 mm (22.0 in) of travel on X, Y and Z in the listed table
- Listed 2-pallet APC as standard and a B-axis rotary table with 0.001° resolution
- 15,000 RPM spindle rated 18.5 kW (25 hp) and 95 Nm (70 ft-lb)
- Listed rapids of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) and a chip-to-chip time of 2.5 seconds
Limitations
- Not on Tsugami's current pages, so the listed figures are unverified
- 40-tool magazine as listed, with 60 tools only as an option
- Listed spindle torque of 95 Nm (70 ft-lb) is modest for low-speed roughing in steel
- The listed Mitsubishi M80 control may not match a shop's other machines; confirm it on any NH4C offered

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It does not appear on Tsugami's current product pages, and its spec table could not be checked against the maker. The listed figures (560 mm travels, 400 mm x 400 mm pallets, 15,000 RPM, Mitsubishi M80 control) should be confirmed on the machine or its documentation before purchase.
02
Both list 560 mm (22 in) of X. The NH4C is listed with 560 mm of Y and Z against 350 mm and 500 mm on the FMA5-V, a 400 mm x 400 mm pallet against 450 x 450 mm, and an 18.5 kW (25 hp) spindle against 5.5 / 7.5 kW. Only the FMA5-V figures are checked against Tsugami America.
03
The listed table names a Mitsubishi M80. Because the table could not be checked against Tsugami, confirm the control and its software options on the machine itself, and check that your CAM post-processor supports it before buying.
04
The listed chip-to-chip time is 2.5 seconds and rapids are 50 m/min (1,969 ipm). The magazine is listed with 40 tools, or 60 tools as an option, and the 2-pallet APC lets the next part be loaded while one is machined.
