The Tsugami SS327-III-5AX , a 32mm B-axis sliding headstock Swiss type lathe, is the ultimate Swiss turn lathe for complex shaped parts. The Tsugami Mach III version brings enhancements to successful the SS327 platform. The enhancements include larger linear guides, 
ribs in the base casting, a 4GB server, Thermal Displacement Compensation sensors throughout, and a 3 toggle clamping system. So what make this SS327-III so special? The servo-driven modular B-axis. The B-axis allows complete complex part machining in a single set-up, but it also turns the Swiss lathe into a multitasking turning center. This allows drilling, tapping, and end milling at any angle.
This machine has an easy to set-up modular tool zone on the B-axis and sub side for fast changeover times. The Modular Tool Zone uses cartridge type live tools with 38 tool 
positions. Eight backworking live tools and a three toggle clamping system allow full 5-axis machining. The highly rigid bed features a heavy duty casting for highly accurate, high speed machining.
Another reason the SS327-III-5AX is the ultimate Swiss type turn lathe, is that it is convertible. This machine can be run as a traditional sliding headstock Swiss Type Lathe using the guide bushing or using the included chucker kit. To increase the flexibility of this machine, the chucker can use drawn bar stock instead of centerless ground stock that reduces remnant length.
