Tornos’ MultiSwiss 6x16 accommodates workpieces up to 16 mm in diameter and 40 mm long, with 14 linear axis and seven C axes. The company says the MultiSwiss’ productivity can be further boosted by the addition of one Y axis.
This platform is based on an “all-in-one” concept, which is said to combine the benefits of single-spindle turning machines with the advantages of multi-spindle machines. The company says it is highly productive as just one MultiSwiss can replace multiple single-spindle lathes while providing more production capacity and requiring less floor space and fewer operators.
Due to its motorized barrel, these solutions are said to achieve the same production rates as cam-type machines, but with a quieter operation. The machine ergonomics boast a large door opening for front access and integrated peripherals to make setups quick and easy, the companyt says. It is said the simplified programming makes it simple for single-spindle operators to get great results. The dynamic and entirely independent spindles are said to enable angular positioning and optimal speeds in each position. Because each spindle has its own Z axis with hydrostatic bearings, users are said to get flawless finishes and extend tool life by 30 to 40 percent.
