1 min read
Tornos UK has revealed its technology partners for its Open House event to be held at its Coalville headquarters from 15-17 October.
The event, to be jointly held at the Tornos & Matsuura Technology Centres, will now include Fanuc Automation, Delcam, Sys and Zoller as key partners alongside the hosts Tornos and Matsuura.
Additional partner companies at the event will be Floyd Automatic Tooling, Mecwash, Lehmann 5-axis machining, Rainford Precision, PSL Datatrack, Iscar and Tornos Finance Solutions.
From a Tornos perspective, the company will be focusing upon efficient one-hit machining and the reduction of bar waste. The Swiss manufacturer will highlight this with the first UK showing of the new SwissNano, the Tornos ST26 and EvoDeco 32 sliding-head turning centres.
Overall, however, the event will give visitors the opportunity to see seven machine tools in total. The technology will cover the single and multi-spindle turning disciplines, as well as high precision machining centres.
The UK premiere of the Swiss ST26 7-axis turning centre will be a highlight of the event, with its two independent tool platens and modular tooling arrangement. Developed by the engineers at Tornos with the remit of high performance and productivity levels with incredible ease-of-use, the ST26 has 36 tool positions and up to 17 driven tools, plus the ability to operate with or without a guidebush. The guide bushless ST26 can turn parts beyond lengths of alternate sliding-head machines, whilst reducing bar waste and the associated costs for the customer.
A machine with the ultimate in productivity, flexibility and quality will be the new EvoDeco32, equipped to cut with four tools simultaneously to maximise productivity, plus a maximum of 10 linear axes for incredible versatility. It has been developed with the operator in mind and incorporates Tornos' TB-Deco software that is easy to program, having intuitive graphic simulations for operator comfort. Tornos has increased the power and torque levels on this 32 mm diameter capacity machine to provide a robust solution for heavy cutting operations and high productivity environments.
Furthermore, the EvoDeco range has a new design that gives operators ease-of-access to the work envelop, as well as a large viewing area to watch the parts being manufactured.
