CNC automatic lathes that do not compromise on quality or precision,

April 8th, 2009 Posted in CNC automatic lathes

Tornos has introduced ‘more straightforward’ CNC automatic lathes that do not compromise on quality or precision, but are fitted with one less independent tool system.

The widespread trend of no longer buying machine tools with ‘capacity reserves’ but instead opting for models more finely suited to the parts required has forced the manufacturer to react, said Tornos.

The company’s latest Deco ‘e’ range consists of four models with capacities of 7/10mm, 13mm, 20mm and 26mm diameter.

The first ‘e’ machine was unveiled in 2007 and over 80 units have been sold.

With a full range, Tornos now proposes an alternative to the Deco models in all diameters and to the Sigma models in diameters of 20 and 32mm.

Tornos told manufacturingtalk that these ‘more straightforward’ ‘e’ machines do not compromise on quality or precision.

They are simply turning machines fitted with one less independent tool system.

The most elaborate or complex workpieces are out of its range, although straightforward does not mean simplistic.

To look at a workpiece cut and finished without rework on a Deco 13e is to be convinced.

For the first time in the history of Tornos (over 100 years), a part such as a barrel drum has been finished on an automatic turning machine.
