Tornos SwissDECO 36 TB: The first bar turning center

Smart technologies driving tomorrow’s production are at the heart of EMO Hannover 2019, September 16–21 in Hannover, Germany, and Tornos’ new SwissDECO 36 TB is sure to turn heads at the premier metalworking exhibition. Intelligently bridging bar-type turning centers and bar turning machines, the SwissDECO 36 TB is the centerpiece of Tornos’ EMO Hanover 2019 booth (Hall 17, Stand D15). Guests will see how the SwissDECO 36 TB makes easy work of machining a 250 mm long intramedullary (IM) nail with internal threads. Used in orthopedic trauma to ensure bone fixation, IM nails call upon Tornos’ extensive deep-hole drilling expertise—and the SwissDECO 36 TB. With the essential B axis and Z2 axis and handy fluid module situated right next to the machine, this solution produces flawless deep-drilled holes. Machine autonomy is supported by its ingenious high-end cutting fluid management and available configuration with up to two high-pressure pumps. Equipped as standard with a heat exchanger, the SwissDECO 36 TB can be connected to a cold-water network or a water chiller.
