Tornos Technologies U.S Corporation has signed an agreement with Esco S.A. (Les Geneveys-sur-Coffrane, Switzerland), to sell and service its line of Escomatic coil-fed screw machines in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The product line was previously imported by Hansco Technologies (Montvale, NJ) which has filed for bankruptcy. The announcement was made by Thomas Dierks, president of Tornos Technologies.

"We will support existing Esco customers with process engineering, service, spare parts, and tooling at the same high level to which Tornos and Esco customers are accustomed," said Mr. Dierks. "We simply ask for their patience during the transition."Tornos plans to hire a portion of the Hansco staff which has expertise in the Esco product line. The company will also prospect for new Esco installations with comprehensive sales and marketing activities. Although both companies manufacture small diameter screw machines, the two lines are more complementary than competitive, according to Mr. Dierks.

"Tornos has historically focused on more complex parts, while Esco has specialized in simpler small diameter, high volume applications," said Mr. Dierks. "This partnership will be beneficial to both parties."

Electronics: part of our everyday lives!

Like the car sector or mechanical engineering, electronics also benefits from the technological progress made in small parts turning.

In the electronics sector, the progress made in the miniaturisation of pcbs and the ever growing speed of communications tended to block out another, more mechanical sector, where precision and extreme demands are vital and the results of which are very tangible - namely the small parts turning sector!

Anyone who wanted to machine high-alloy steel, non-ferrous metal or even castings with a high-performance cutting oil, could not avoid having to operate separate production lines or make compromises. The Swiss lubricants company, MOTOREX, has recently been offering a high-performance cutting oil suitable for all materials.

Some may say, "universal cutting oils have been around for a long time". This is quite true, but the user had to take certain disadvantages on board with these multi-talented fluids. Compromises, such as lower cutting speeds and feed values etc., quickly had an effect on productivity. Many took the lesser evil on board and topped up the machine again. The fact that such scenarios no longer fit in the present day is almost self-evident. In introducing the new vmax-technology (increasing the cutting data and hence productivity) MOTOREX has acknowledged the needs of the industry and now offers a complete novelty within the SWISSCUT ORTHO family: the high-performance cutting oil, MOTOREX ORTHO NF-X.

Dramatically improved flexibility
Anyone who frequently has to produce small and medium-size series, is acquainted with the great advantage of being able to deploy the fleet of machines in an optimum way. We all know that today, customers' deadlines are fixed requirements, which have a marked influence on the successful conclusion of the order. This fact requires maximum flexibility from the small part turners and new solutions from suppliers.

We will be pleased to give you further information about the new MOTOREX vmax-technology and the SWISSCUT ORTHO cutting oils.

Apart from launching the new MULTIDECO 20/8b, Tornos will also be presenting solutions adapted to the automotive, medical, water fittings and spectacle industries at the next EMO fair in Milan.

During the coming EMO exhibition in Milan, from October 21 until 28, the Swiss manufacturer will display (hall 2, booth B01) all its know-how applied to all domains of activities.

Trough concrete solutions to particular needs, the manufacturer, leader in the high precision domains such as the medical domain (machining of implants, surgical screws and devices) will demonstrate its flexibility with its ability to respond to specific requirements of numerous domains of activities
