2006 Tsugami BS20(C)-III Swiss Type CNC Lathe

The 2006 Tsugami BS20(C)-III Swiss Type CNC Lathe is a high-precision sliding headstock machine designed for small-diameter, intricate parts where tight tolerances are mandatory. With a maximum bar capacity of 0.78 inch, C-axis control, and live tooling, it can efficiently mill, drill, and turn features in a single setup. The 5 HP main spindle delivers speeds up to 10000 RPM, while the guide bushing system ensures stability and finish quality during long, slender part machining. Equipped with an 8-position turret and high-pressure coolant, it is built to maintain accuracy in continuous production.

Compared to smaller capacity Swiss lathes, the BS20(C)-III offers a broader machining envelope and additional live tooling capabilities, making it more versatile for complex workpieces that require multiple operations. While lighter-duty machines may suffice for basic screw machining, this model enables higher spindle speeds, more tooling flexibility, and enhanced surface finish quality, allowing it to compete in demanding aerospace, electronics, and medical manufacturing applications.
