TORNOS at MediSIAMS

This year, TORNOS has made major innovations in its product range by presenting a world preview of its new sliding headstock machine, set to succeed the DECO 10 machine with which TORNOS has enjoyed great success in the medical sector. Its other machine tools will also be on demonstration in the same type of application.

After being completely reworked in terms of the design of its chassis, and fitted with synchronous spindles and an automatic centralised lubrication system, the new EvoDECO 10 sliding headstock machine will have its world preview at MediSIAMS. This machine is particularly well suited to the demands of quality and precision made today by manufacturers working in the medical sector. The practical demonstration of this can be seen in the application of a high precision connector designed to be implanted in the human body.

The EvoDECO 16 model, which had its world preview in 2010, is designed to produce parts with larger diameters than those on the EvoDECO 10. This machine can manufacture a series of three parts used for dental implants consecutively in the bar.

The Almac CU 1007 machining centre with loading robot will demonstrate how complex, convex plates designed to immobilise the cervical vertebral column can be machined in series.

Alongside it on the TORNOS stand, the Almac FB 1005 model will machine dental implants bent from bars. Their manufacture includes milling and drilling operations along the B axis, which enables families of parts with different angles to be machined without the need to completely reprogram the operation.

The Gamma 20 production turning machine will carry out operations producing stainless steel medical screws with self-penetrating cutting threads, in optimal conditions for profitability. The micro-milling operation of the screw clamping head is carried out concurrently thanks to a spindle operating at high speed.
