TB-DECO - Programming software

Programming an automatic lathe on PC !
Using a design whereby the PC is separate from the numerical control of the machine, TORNOS has introduced full work management flexibility. With programming carried out 100% in hidden time, e.g. on a notebook, parts can be planned at any time anywhere.

A user-friendly, intuitive and visual software package at your disposal. Entirely developed by TORNOS, this software enables simple, quick, logical and ergonomic programming parts on your PC.
This is undoubtedly the best solution on the market for reducing component cycle times. It provides convenient programming (large screen, brightness control, environment) and allows you to program several types of machines with a single PC.

  • An uncompromising solution to optimize component cycle times
    Graphic synchronisation of operations :
  • Easy operation of simultaneous machining procedures and tool indexing.
  • Unrestricted operation of the machines kinematics.

  • What can TB-DECO do for you ?
  • Machine initialisation cycle :
    • Positioning the cutting tool.
    • Positioning the bar.
    • Facing-off.
    • Positioning the spindle.
    • Opening the spindle collet.
  • Bar-end control.
  • Loading cycle for a new bar with its safety features.
  • Part feeding cycle.
  • Multiple feeding cycles (several clampings for a single part).
  • Referencing end tools in relationship to the part.
  • Referencing the counter-spindle in relationship to the part when supported by the counter spindle.
  • Safe component cutting: controls in case of cutting tool breakage.
  • Safety part pick-up: chips on the part or diameter too large (tool worn or broken).

    Benefits of TB-DECO programming
    A universal programming interface for all DECO and MULTIDECO, to guarantee perfect integration of both worlds into a single production unit. Two levels of representation:
  • Structure, with intuitive graphics.
  • Detail, in standard ISO code.

    No writing machine initialisation cycles or secured feeding cycles. TB-DECO does it for you.

    No downtime with testing on the machine. TB-DECO calculates the exact position of the part.

    Simplified, worldwide program analysis and trouble-shooting facility.

Virtual CNC :
Taking control of time
Virtual CNCBefore the introduction of TB-DECO, part cycle time management was under the sole control of the CNC. By means of a virtual control, TORNOS's latest innovation TB-DECO does not just approximate the cycle time for the part being machined, it calculates it to a level of accuracy better than 10 ms.
Virtual CNC is a calculation made by the PC during programming. The result can then be transferred to the machine, via Ethernet or Flash memory card, in the form of mathematical paths. Thanks to virtual CNC, control of the machine (PNC-DECO) no longer requires a high degree of power. It ensures that the DECO [a-line] and MULTIDECO machines are not affected by time passing in the same way as a normal CNC. Programming can always be done on the latest generation PC using all the power available.

The main economic benefits
Achieve precise cycle times for parts on your PC. Virtual CNC will monitor the risks of machine collision. See the critical path for your part's cycle time at a glance with the Gantt chart display.
