REM Sales LLC, the exclusive North American importer of high-precision Tsugami machine tools, announced that select 20mm models will now be equipped with a new higher torque main spindle.
The new 10,000 rpm higher torque spindles will boost metal removal and productivity without sacrificing the renowned Tsugami precision. Affected models include the B0203/204/205, S205/S206, BH20, BE20-V, SS20, and the S207. Previous to this announcement those models were equipped with a 12,000 rpm main spindle.
Tests have shown the new higher torque spindles provide three times the metal removal capability of previous models in certain applications. Turning cutting area has been increased from 0.15mm2 to 0.50mm2. Drilling and tapping power has also been boosted. Tapping capability has been increased from M8 in Swiss configurations and M6 in chucker configurations to M10 in both.

- tapping
tapping
Machining operation in which a tap, with teeth on its periphery, cuts internal threads in a predrilled hole having a smaller diameter than the tap diameter. Threads are formed by a combined rotary and axial-relative motion between tap and workpiece. See tap.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
