Our best estimate for a swiss-type lathe in this class — not a quote from Tsugami. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Tsugami S206-II is the six-axis version of Tsugami's 20 mm (0.79 in) S20x Swiss-type lathe, and its defining figure is live tooling: Tsugami America lists 33 / 47 tool stations, of which 15 / 24 can be driven. Live tools run to 10,000 rpm and a FANUC 32i-B control runs the six axes.

That many driven positions changes what can be finished in one chucking. Cross holes, flats, slots and off-centre features on both ends of a part can be cut on the machine instead of in a second operation, and with up to 24 live positions a family of similar parts can stay tooled while only the program changes. The S205-II, on the same 3,750 kg (8,267 lb) base, gives 25/39 stations with 7/16 live and five axes, which is enough for mostly turned parts with the odd hole.

Main and sub spindles both cover 200 - 10,000 rpm, and the main spindle is rated 2.2 / 3.7 kW (3 / 5 hp). With the guide bushing, maximum machining length per chucking is 210 mm; in chucker mode, with the bushing removed, it is 45 mm (1.77 in). The bushing supports the bar close to the cut for long, slender work, and chucker mode avoids the bar remnant on short parts.

Next to the B0126-VR, a 1,850 kg (4,078 lb) machine whose live tools run to 8,000 rpm, the S206-II offers faster driven tools on a heavier base. It occupies 2,325 × 1,270 × 1,970 mm (91 × 50 × 77.5 in). Rapid traverse, axis strokes and live-tool power are not in Tsugami America's table and should be requested before quoting milling-heavy parts.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

15 / 24 live-tool positions among 33 / 47 tool stations
Six axes under a FANUC 32i-B control
Live tools run to 10,000 rpm, above the 8,000 rpm of the B0126-VR
Guide bushing and chucker mode: 210 mm per chucking with the bushing, 45 mm (1.77 in) without
Main and sub spindles share the 200 - 10,000 rpm range

Limitations

Main spindle rated 2.2 / 3.7 kW (3 / 5 hp), so heavy turning at the full 20 mm (0.79 in) bar size needs lighter passes
Chucker mode cuts machining length per chucking to 45 mm (1.77 in)
No rapid traverse, axis strokes or live-tool power in Tsugami America's table
At 3,750 kg (8,267 lb) it weighs about twice the 1,850 kg (4,078 lb) B0126-VR

Best For

Parts with cross holes, flats and milled features on both ends Bar work up to 20 mm (0.79 in) finished in one chucking Part families kept tooled across up to 24 live positions Slender shafts up to 210 mm long per chucking

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does the S206-II have that the S205-II lacks?

A sixth axis and more tooling. The S206-II lists 33 / 47 tool stations and 15 / 24 live positions; the S205-II lists 25/39 and 7/16 with five axes. The rest of Tsugami America's two tables matches: 20 mm (0.79 in) bar, 200 - 10,000 rpm on both spindles, 10,000 rpm live tools, FANUC 32i-B and 3,750 kg (8,267 lb).

02 How fast do the live tools run on the S206-II?

Up to 10,000 rpm. That suits small drills and end mills, which need high speed to reach their cutting speed. The table gives no live-tool power or torque, so check those before planning heavy milling or large taps.

03 What is the machining length per chucking?

210 mm with the guide bushing, which supports the bar close to the cut and allows long slender parts. With the bushing removed in chucker mode the figure is 45 mm (1.77 in), suited to short parts where the bar remnant matters.

04 Which control runs the S206-II?

A FANUC 32i-B, the same as on the five-axis S205-II. The smaller B0125-VR and B0126-VR use FANUC 0i-TF and 0i-TF Plus controls, so a shop running both sizes should plan for two control families when sharing programs and operators.
