CNC sliding head lathe has no guidebush
Swiss sliding head turning centre specialist will show the world's first 10mm capacity single-spindle CNC sliding head lathe without guidebush, offering excellent 'price-to-performance' ratio.
Four patents granted for fixed headstock DECO
Following the phenomenal success of the DECO concept on sliding head and multispindle products, Tornos engineers wanted to develop a DECO incorporating fixed headstock technology.
Lathe combines best of CNC and cams
Tornos has unveiled its new automatic lathe, the DECO 42 f. For the first time, the DECO 2000 concept has been applied to the world of the fixed headstock.
Tornos will also exhibit the Deco 26a 10-axis turning centre.
The first machine launched in the new S-Line range is the Deco 8sp.
The 8sp is world's first 10mm capacity single-spindle CNC sliding head lathe without guidebush.
With five linear axes, the Deco 8sp provides an excellent price-to-performance ratio whilst the kinematics have been adapted to execute reasonably complex parts.
It is a technological solution that allows Tornos to offer an automatic lathe that guarantees a degree of precision of +/-1 micron (0.001mm) never seen before.
The Tornos 8sp addresses new markets such as the electronics and especially the hard mini-disk sector for mobile IT applications.
The second machine launch of the new S-Line range, the Deco 20s is designed to execute relatively complex parts up to 25.4mm diameter.
The programming and kinematics of the Deco 20s are geared towards simplicity, which is coupled with strong mechanical elements to guarantee high precision.
With six linear axes, the 20s has been designed for producing reasonably complex parts with an excellent price-to-potential ratio.
Numerous market studies were conducted and the Deco 20s is the resulting machine that is well suited for the automotive, medical, electronics and connector and general manufacturing sectors.
The considerable strength and power provide the lathe with a very large machining capacity.
Another important aspect is its versatility - the machine has 22 tool positions and a high level of interchangeability to give the DECO 20s exceptional flexibility.
These two new machines are undoubtedly set to make a huge impact at MACH 2006.
