19Alternative threadingISO machines

The process is characterised by the fact that the workpiece is threaded with two tools instead of one. 

Video ►

18Part control stationTCPThe Tornos Control Panel (TCP) is equipped with 4 USB ports. This makes it very easy to make full use of the panel and its large screen. You can add a number of peripherals to it to simplify your daily life. As for example: keyboard, camera, etc.

With TISIS, it is now easy to program engraving of your workpieces.

Video ►

15“Green Motion” ModeTISIS Optimove“Green Motion” mode allows you to slow down unproductive rapid movements if doing so does not penalise the overall cycle time for the workpiece. In other words, it allows a tool to move into position to start machining just in time.
14Turning grooves and plunge cutsTISIS OptimoveTISIS provides an easy way to program grooves and plunge cuts.
13Postprocessor OptimoveISO machines

With powerful algorithms, the computer “Optimove” generates trajectories of very sharp axes. It becomes very easy and fast to program complex trajectories without having to use CAM.

8First and last partEvoDECO TB-DECOIn this edition, we will explain how to manage the first and last part in your series of parts.
7Simultaneous drillingISO machinesA large number of Tornos machines can benefit from a bidirectional end base. To win in cycle time it is interesting to do a drilling operation and counter operation simultaneously.
6Turbo ProcessISO machinesTornos now provides its customers with a new part machining process. This “Turbo” model is intended for users wishing to achieve optimal cycle time thanks to an innovative process.
5Tornos Machining MacrosISO machinesFor some years now, Tornos has offered its customers its famous program sequencing macros which automate a part cycle. Tornos is now going one step further, offering macros for its ISO machines that are referred to as “machining” macros and “unproductive” macros.
4B MacroISO machinesThe B macro is a programming language whose parameters are set on FANUC numerical controls. It allows you to make your programs smart.
3Long partsISO machinesOn a machine, machining a part that is longer than the stroke of the machine main spindle in a single feeding is impossible. This is why Tornos now offers the chance of feeding several times a given quantity of material for a single part.
2User friendliness during productionISO machinesTo illustrate the user friendliness offered by Tornos machines during production monitoring and during machining of the first part (program fine-tuning).
1Cycle time optimisationISO machinesThis first edition addresses a vital topic in the world of lathe machine operation, namely: cycle time.
