Tsugami/Rem Sales, the exclusive North American importer of precision Tsugami machine tools, will feature at WESTEC 2015 one machine that has never been displayed on the West Coast and another that has never been seen in the United States.
The Tsugami S206-II with IMG 400LS Laser Cutting System will make its first West Coast appearance at the WESTEC show. The Tsugami LaserSwiss combines 6-axis Swiss machining with laser cutting on one machine, allowing manufacturers to perform Swiss turning and laser cutting operations with one set-up. All operations are programmed and driven from the machine's FANUC 32i-B control. The nozzle standoff adjustment is NC controlled, and the laser's frequency, pulse width, focus and power are all adjustable on the fly.
"This machine has the potential to profoundly change the way small, tubular parts are made," said Tsugami/Rem Sales Vice President Mike Mugno. "It replaces two machines with one, eliminates the need for multiple part set-ups and significantly reduces part production time."
The new Tsugami BW209Z Split-Slide CNC Precision Automatic Lathe will make its U.S. debut at WESTEC. "This machine is so new that only a handful of people have seen it," Mugno said, adding that it will be shipped directly from Tsugami headquarters in Japan just in time for the show.
Other Tsugami machine tools scheduled for display at WESTEC include the B0206-II and B0326-II 6-axis Swiss turns. The 20 mm and 32 mm machines, respectively, are both convertible, meaning they can be run as traditional sliding headstock machines with a guide bushing or as chuckers without their guide bushings.
Local manufacturers unable to attend the show can schedule private machine tool demonstrations at the new Tsugami Technical Center in Fullerton, CA, or at Tsugami/Rem Sales' distribution partner Ellison Technologies' California facilities in Santa Fe Springs and Freemont.
