EXHIBITION PREVIEW MACH 2020 – BIRMINGHAM NEC – 20-24 APRIL
Star’s new SX-38 type B
will be a stand exhibit
that can be tted to both new and older Star
models dating back to 1996 Star’s
engineers will also be demonstrating how
quickly and ef ciently CNC programs can be
generated via the company’s popular NC
Assist and PU-JR programming editors –
each offering simple conversational
interfaces with a range of useful preinstalled
templates A FANUC
pick-and-place robotic cell developed in
conjunction with Renishaw and using the
post-process Equator gauging system will
also be on show. The cell will be
demonstrating how components can be
machined and inspected with minimal
operator intervention, while automatically
adjusting tool offset data to ensure
maximum accuracy.
#Industry_4.0 #turning – Tornos
Technologies UK, Stand 20-472 UK
exhibition debuts will be given to the
MultiSwiss 8X26 and the SwissNano 7
(details not yet released), while the TISIS
connectivity package will underline the
company’s Industry 4.0 offer One of a
family of three having spindle capacities of
14 to 32 mm, the mid-range, eight-spindle
MultiSwiss 8X26 is said to take the
performance of the MultiSwiss range to a
new level, both in terms of component
complexity and productivity. Independent
11 kW motor-spindles equipped with a C-axis
and counter-spindle can reach 8,000 rpm in
tenths of a second. Three con gurations
are stated as possible: entry-level option
without a Y-axis; three Y axes for
intermediate applications; and six Y axes
for the most complex parts. The MultiSwiss
can improve surface nishes and extend
tool life by an average of 30% (and up to
70% in some extreme cases), minimising
machine stoppages. MultiSwiss machines
are as accessible as single-spindle
machines and a single-spindle machine
operator can quickly become a MultiSwiss
operator. As quick to set up as a singlespindle
turning machine, the key difference
is that the MultiSwiss is at least ve times
as productive as a single-spindle turning
machine To highlight the capabilities of
the TISIS system to manage and control
machine tools remotely, Floyd Automatic
Tooling (Stand 20-472) will have a remote
TISIS link to monitor and control machines
that are physically located on the Tornos
exhibition stand.
#degreasing – Turbex, Stand 17-310
Announced by the company will be
optional functionality available in two of
Turbex’ industrial washing machine models,
Java and Palma, that increases the
ef ciency of washing components, improves
their cleanliness and widens the range of
applications that can be undertaken. Called
‘vector kinematics’, the patented feature is
in addition to process-speci c, targeted
cleaning that is tailored to large-scale
cleaning of families of similar parts. The new
vector motion sees the basket of
Tornos’ new MultiSwiss range delivers
performance at a higher level
