Tornos EvoDECO 32
Introduced at EMO 2013, the Tornos EvoDECO 32 (and, based on the same platform, the EvoDECO 20) features 10 linear axes, two C-axes, four independent tool systems and a large machining area lit by an LED bulb.
Outfitted with dynamic powered spindles with synchronous motors, the machines deliver 9.5/12.8 kW torque and increased acceleration/deceleration to reduce cycle times for parts that require a lot of stopping. The spindle and counter spindle have the same output to facilitate the distribution of tasks between front operations and counter operations. Continuous temperature stabilization allows inclined milling, complex shapes, I.D. and O.D. thread-whirling and more. In differential mode, operators can even perform simultaneous turning and drilling using the guide bush.
"The spindle is the heart of a bar turning machine since it is largely responsible for determining the key elements of machining performance and precision," said a company spokesperson. "The EvoDECO is the first sliding headstock machine to be equipped with synchronous spindles. Constant torque enables more substantial turning operations to be performed - with the biggest difference lying in the accelerations and decelerations achieved by the motor. Up to 27 tools, including 21 rotating tools can be used on the EvoDECO 20 and EvoDECO 32. An integrated, industrial PC (Intel Core i7, SSD) offers high levels of responsiveness and increased efficiency and eliminates the need to transfer programs from an external PC to the machine control unit."
The EvoDECO 32 can turn parts up to 32 mm (1-1/4") diameter, with a maximum spindle speed of 8,000 RPM; the EvoDECO 20 can accommodate bar up to 1" and offers spindle speed up to 10,000 RPM. The tool holder system offers flexibility with a quick change system and adapter for pre-setting tools. Plus, all EvoDECO tool holders are compatible with equipment developed for the DECO.
"With its four tooling systems, the EvoDECO 32 delivers fast machining times," said the spokesperson. "Competitor machines equipped with a turret have more tools, but the turret indexing time makes them a less attractive option in production."
