Avoid Secondary Operations with Swiss Medical Configuration



"The new Swiss ST 26 is a high-performance Swiss type turning center with 7 linear axes + 2 C-axes and two completely independent tool systems for parts up to 1 inch diameter (0.9 inch without bar prep) and up to 8.6 inches long with guidebush," said a Tornos spokesperson. With an independent dual slide system, the Swiss ST 26 allows up to three tools in the cut simultaneously and up to 36 tools total (17 live) for pinch milling, turning and drilling. The system works with or without guidebush.

The Swiss ST 26 Medical configuration comes with three mill/drill attachments for the main spindle, and five mill/drill attachments for the counter spindle, plus dual threadwhirlers that allow cutting of medical bone screws with two different angled threads. Also included are toolholders for five turning tools on the main plus another three turning tools on the main and counter; an offset tool block with eight bores to accept holders for work in the main (4X) and counter (8X); a tool block with two bores to accept drill holders for deep drilling; and a two toolholder for end working positions with an ESX20 collet.

The machine has a large, easy-access workzone (with access to tools from both sides of the machine) and spindles that run 0-10,000 RPM in 0.9 seconds. Additionally, an easy access control panel is mounted on a swiveling arm. Designed for autonomy, the Swiss ST 26 has an open design for ideal chip evacuation into a large pan, automatic central lubrication system and a large coolant tank.

A wide selection of attachments and accessories are available for the Swiss ST 26, making this a flexible solution for high-tech industries. In addition to the Medical configuration, Tornos also offers Starter and Advanced packs for automotive, aerospace, electronic and other applications.
