Tsugami S206

The Tsugami S206 is a six-axis Swiss-type lathe for bar up to Ø20 mm (0.8 in), with 31/45 tools, a 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp) main spindle and a sub spindle that runs to 10,000 rpm. The control is a Fanuc 32i-B, and the figures come from an authorised Tsugami dealer's page.

The tool count is what sets it apart from the smaller machines in the range. The B0205 takes the same Ø20 mm (0.8 in) bar on the same 2.2/3.7 kW (2.9/5 hp) rating but carries 21 tools; the S206 carries 31/45, the pair most likely describing a standard and a fuller layout. That headroom matters on complex parts where every operation needs its own tool, or where a shop wants several jobs' tools left in the machine.

The headstock stroke is 250 mm (9.8 in), against a maximum turning length of 210 mm (8.3 in) on the B0205, so longer parts can be made in one chucking. Rapid traverse is 35 m/min. (1,378 in/min.).

The machine weighs 3,750 kg (8,267.3 lb) and occupies 1,270 × 2,325 × 1,970 mm (50 × 91.5 × 77.5 in). The table gives no main spindle speed or live tool speed; the S206A-II is listed at 10,000 rpm (rated 8,000 rpm) with 31 tools as standard, and the S206-II lists live tools at 10,000 rpm, but confirm the figures for the machine being quoted. For bar beyond Ø20 mm the BO326 steps up to Ø32 mm (1.3 in) and 3.7/5.5 kW (5/7.4 hp).
