Claimed to be the most precise CNC turning machine available on the market - machining to within +/-1 micron - will be shown by Tornos among several innovations at EMO 2005.
Following the April 2005 launch of the Deco 8sp and Multideco 32/6c turning centres at Moutier; the Swiss manufacturer has announced that it will be extending its product range in June 2005. The new Multideco 20/6be and Deco 20s machines will enable customers to execute simple parts efficiently. At the EMO exhibition in Hanover, on 14-21 September 2005, Tornos will present yet another new Multideco - the 20/8d.

The September launch will bring the number of new products presented by Tornos to five within seven months.

The Swiss manufacturer is astoundingly demonstrating how its policy of reviving innovation implemented in 2003, is now bearing fruit.

All the new innovations admirably complement the manufacturer's existing product range without jeopardising the well established products already on the market.

Occupying a dominant place in the high added value sector, where the parts being executed require fairly complex to highly complex operations, Tornos wants to extend its presence in alternate market sectors and provide machine tools that are more finely tuned to the complexities of various parts.

Market trends are increasingly forcing component manufacturers to invest in products that are adapted to the parts being executed.

Hence with the (s-line) and Multideco 20/6be, simple part manufacturers will have their own finely adapted products.

At the other extreme, the ranges are beginning to acquire further potential to execute more complex parts with the Multideco 32/6c and 20/8d.

Products to be presented by Tornos at EMO: Single spindle: * Deco 8sp - the most precise machine available on the market - machining to within +/-1 micron.

A Specialist machine catering for mini hard disks and other precise applications.

* Deco 13a - fully equipped machine to execute a highly complex medical part - a sector for which the machine 'works wonders'.

* Deco 20a - this machine produces alternate medical parts that make the best use of its vast machining facilities.

* Deco 20s - 'World Premiere' - the second machine in the (s-line) range.

Simplicity is the key word.

Multi-spindle: * Multideco 20/6be - a well priced Multideco machine with a guide bush to execute simple parts.

Depending on circumstances, part execution is possible with savings of up to 30% compared with the conventional yet impressive Multideco machine.

* Multideco 32/6c - the facility of fully completing complex parts by way of back-working operations is expanding.

This machine also has part handling and an integral palletisation system.

* Multideco 20/8d - 'World Premiere' - the Multideco 20/8d has a motorised spindle - offered for the first time by Tornos.

This technology was always rejected by the company because it was previously impossible to obtain sufficient power.

Tornos now offers a brand new motorised spindle system with power that is matched nowhere else on the market.

The Multideco 20/8d also offers another original innovation to maximise production time - the dual counter-spindle system.

* TB-Deco - the exceptional programming software will be presented in its latest version - the TB-Deco 2006.

This new version provides modules (ADV, CAM interface) so that you need only purchase those families with the required functions.
