Overview

The Tsugami SS267-III is a 7-axis opposed gang tool Swiss-type CNC lathe with 26mm bar capacity, bridging the gap between the 20mm SS207 and 32mm SS327 in Tsugami's SS-series lineup. The 7-axis configuration provides Y1 and Y2 axes on both the main and sub-spindle sides, plus modular tool zone capability for handling complex multi-feature parts.

Estimated specifications based on the SS26 series suggest main and sub-spindle speeds of 200-10,000 RPM powered by a 3.7/5.5 kW motor. Live tooling runs at approximately 5,000 RPM across an estimated 10/13 live tool positions, with total tool capacity around 24/40 positions. The headstock stroke reaches an estimated 270 mm (10.62 in), and the convertible guide bushing system supports both Swiss and chucker modes. The FANUC 32i-B control manages the 7-axis coordination.

The SS267-III targets parts that are too big for the 20mm SS207-II but don't need the full 32mm capacity of the SS327-III. In medical applications, this often means larger bone screws, spinal fusion devices, and orthopedic components. In automotive and industrial applications, it covers mid-size shafts, fittings, and connectors.

Note that most specifications for this model are estimated from the SS26 series, as Tsugami hasn't published complete independent specs. The estimated machine weight of 3,400 kg (7,495 lbs) and dimensions of 2,020 x 1,675 x 2,020 mm are derived from the SS26 platform. For shops that need 7-axis capability in the 26mm class, the SS267-III offers Tsugami's proven modular tool zone approach with the axis count to handle nearly any feature combination.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

7-axis configuration with Y1 and Y2 enables simultaneous front and back machining with off-center capability on both sides
26mm bar capacity fills the practical gap between 20mm and 32mm for mid-size precision parts
Estimated 3.7/5.5 kW spindle motor provides good cutting power for stainless and titanium at 26mm diameters
Modular tool zone with estimated 40 max tool positions handles complex multi-feature parts
Convertible guide bushing covers both long Swiss parts and short chucker parts on one machine
FANUC 32i-B control is a proven platform for multi-axis Swiss-type coordination

Limitations

Most specifications are estimated from the SS26 series -- verify with your Tsugami dealer for current specs
Estimated 5,000 RPM live tooling speed is lower than the 10,000 RPM available on smaller SS207-II machines
7-axis programming complexity requires experienced operators or quality CAM software
26mm bar size has fewer off-the-shelf tooling options compared to the more common 20mm and 32mm classes

Best For

Medical device manufacturers producing larger orthopedic screws, spinal devices, and dental components in the 22-26mm range Aerospace connector and fitting shops needing 7-axis capability for complex mid-size parts Automotive component producers working with parts too large for 20mm but not requiring 32mm capacity Contract manufacturers handling diverse 26mm-class parts with complex multi-axis features Shops needing simultaneous Y1 and Y2 machining on mid-size Swiss-turned components

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the SS267-III compare to the SS207-II?

The main difference is bar capacity: 26mm vs. 20mm. The SS267-III also has a more powerful estimated 3.7/5.5 kW motor (vs. 2.2/3.7 kW on the SS207-II). Both are 7-axis machines with modular tool zones. The SS207-II has faster live tooling (10,000 RPM vs. estimated 5,000 RPM). Choose based on your part diameter requirements.

02 Is the SS267-III available with a B-axis like the 5AX variants?

Yes. The SS267-III-5AX adds a servo-driven swiveling B-axis for simultaneous 5-axis machining capability. If your parts need sculpted surfaces or compound angles, the 5AX variant is worth considering. See our separate listing for the SS267-III-5AX for details.

03 Are the estimated specs reliable for purchasing decisions?

The estimates are based on closely related SS26 series machines and are reasonable approximations. However, for any purchasing decision, confirm current specifications directly with Tsugami or an authorized dealer. Specs may have been updated since the SS26 data was published.

04 What materials can the SS267-III handle at 26mm?

The estimated 3.7/5.5 kW motor handles brass, aluminum, carbon steel, 300 and 400-series stainless, and titanium (Grades 2 and 5) at production speeds. Inconel and other high-temp alloys are possible at reduced parameters. The power level is appropriate for the 26mm diameter range across common Swiss-type materials.

05 What's the headstock stroke in chucker mode?

The exact chucker mode stroke for the SS267-III isn't separately published. Based on similar SS-series machines, it's likely in the 45-70mm range. In Swiss mode with guide bushing, the estimated stroke is 270mm. Confirm the actual chucker mode stroke with your Tsugami dealer.
