The new LaserSwiss is a next-generation Precision Tsugami B0125-III. The 12 mm, five-axis, Swiss-style CNC lathe with a fully integrated SPI laser cutting system is the only one of its kind.

Laser operations are programmed and driven from the machine’s FANUC 0i-TF control and the laser’s power, pulse width, frequency, lens focus and nozzle standoff are on-the-fly adjustable. The machine is equipped with a gas box capable of switching among assist gases, which are typically nitrogen, oxygen and argon.

The machine has 10 tool positions in addition to the laser. It is also convertible so it can be run as a traditional Swiss-style lathe using a guide bushing or operated with an optional chucker kit.

IMTS visitors can see LaserSwiss cutting demonstrations at the Tsugami/Rem sales booth in the south hall throughout the duration of the show.
