Swiss-Turns Meet Part Variation Needs
REM Sales offers the Tsugami B0125 and B0205 Swiss-type automatic lathes.
Other features include a flat-bed design and opposed gangslide. The flat-bed design resists thermal growth more effectively than a traditional slant-bed design to ensure more accurate parts, the company says. Tsugami’s opposed gang-slide design reduces chip-to-chip time by placing tools on each side of the guide bushing for faster indexing.
