BH20Z - 20 mm High Performance Gang/Turret Turning Center
The BH20Z Turning Center combines a front gang slide with a rear turret, and gives you up to 35 tool positions for rotary and stationary tools. Z-axis capability on the rear turret allows you to cut complex shapes in one set-up. Precision, speed, and accuracy of a high performance Swiss turn. Flexibility and rotary tooling benefits of a turning center. All in one heavyweight performer.
Heavy Duty, Efficient Machining of Complex-Shaped Workpieces
Tsugami’s BH20Z Gang/Turret Turning Center combines the precision, accuracy, and speed of a high performance Swiss Type Lathe with the flexibility and additional rotary tool capability of a turning center with a turret. In this unique combination, up to 35 tools on the tool posts (front gang and rear turret) combine to machine complex parts in single setup.
The BH20Z is an extremely rugged, powerful (main and sub spindles) machine that can perform 7 different types of simultaneous machining involving the front, back, and cross spindles. A Fanuc 31i-A CNC control is standard. If you need a heavyweight performer to make short work of heavy milling, turning, drilling, tapping, hobbing, and long thread whirling, the BH20Z is the right choice.
The BH20Z turning center is CONVERTIBLE and may be run as a traditional sliding headstock Swiss Type Lathe using the guide bushing or run without the guide bushing with the addition of an optional chucker kit.
