DECO 7/10a
|
The advantages of cam-operated lathes: speed, reliability and productivity. The advantages of NC machines: versatility, flexibility and precision. Both have now found a common denominator to combine the two.
The combination of three remarkable components resulted in the amalgamation of 2 generations of benefits:
- TB-DECO programming software
- PNC-DECO parallel numeric control
- Adapted kinematics
|
This latest generation of lathes means
that Tornos can now meet the challenges of the future.

PNC-DECO (new patent):
Control system of axes incorporated in the machine (cam shafts and virtual electronic cams)
- Advantages:
- On-line programming or on portable PC
- User-friendly, versatile and fast operation
- Machining calculated in real time
- Instantaneous control programming transfer
- Graphic path simulation
- ISO language.
- Deletion of unproductive times (NC calculations)
- No physical angular limitations
- Electronic crank
- All axes simultaneous (up to 12 axes)
Kinematics:
the thread chasing systems are in a well ventilated machining area and provide the utmost simplicity when changing tools
The simultaneous running of the axes brings about rapid machining of both simple and complex parts. The kinematic design provides easy and quick access to all parts, thereby enhancing operating intervention and setting up work.
- Main functions:
- 5-position tool system (thread chasing type) for turning tools.
- End unit with 3 positions combined with the 3-position tool system for bar turning operations.
- End unit and counter-spindle on 3-axis unit.
- Three independent back-operation stations
- Turning in several stages and bar thread chasing without having to bring back the tailstock (like a fixed tailstock).
- Numeric centering of all tools (facility to centre the tool at the bar on 3 axes, thereby leading to considerable saving in setting up times).
- Machine oriented towards simplicity
- Machine width reduced to 1.1 metres
- Rapid evacuation of parts away from the machining area
- Large volume of cutting fluid
- Optimum chip evacuation
- Well ventilated machining area
Advantages:
- Working with the guide-bush with three tools simultaneously and managed by 6 independent axes (Z1, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, Z3 + axis C as an option).
- Drilling/tapping/cross milling operations at the guide-bush with 4 turning spindles and on 3 axes (Z1, X2, Y2).
- Polygoning flats or contours at the guide-bush, at synchronised spindle speeds.
- Independent end unit (X3, Z3) with 3 fixed or turning spindles
- Drilling/tapping using the differential principle (track race) (turning, axial drilling simultaneously).
- Independent counter-spindle (X4, Z4) (x4, Y4, Z4, Deco 20) to pick up the part and convey it to the back-operation area for machining in hidden time
- 4 back-operation stations
- fixed or turning, axial or transverse.
- Positioned spindle and counter-spindle indexing and stop.
- Axis C functions at the spindle and counter-spindle to execute complex or highly specific shapes
- Possibility of working at all times with 4 tools simultaneously.
- Optimising movements by managing feed rates
- Production of up to 20 parts per minute and 26 mm diameter
- Space requirements identical to a conventional cam-operated machine having the same capacity.
TB-DECO (new patent):
Programming software for designing and programming parts machining, running in Windows [TM] (on a PC located away from the machine).
- Advantages:
- No restriction in parallel machining along operation lines Display of axes and spindle resources G95 feed management unlimited combination of axes (X3-Z1 threading)
- Synchronisation and locking graphic axes
- Assistant for new parts standard models models for long parts program examples global variables (parameterized programming) TB-DECO macros
- Energy optimisation
- Accurate cycle time display complete program per operation
- Graphic tool catalogue
- Trigonometric calculation tangential point, point on circle
- Functions of Windows copy / paste: part file, ISO find / replace function help with "F1" find
- 2D simulation Collision control
- ISO code syntax control
