THE VERY LATEST IN MODERN FLUID<br />
MANAGEMENT IN THE TORNOS TECHNO-CENTER<br />
In the 5’000 m 2 Tech-Centre in Moutier, <strong>Tornos</strong> is setting new standards. Also trailblazing in its own way is its<br />
Fluid Management system, with a well thought-out supply infrastructure and powerful « v max-Fluid-<br />
Technology» from MOTOREX. This has enabled workflows to be optimized and fully achieves the primary<br />
objective, that of saving time.<br />
In the recently built Techno-Center in Moutier, several<br />
core activities of the company are now reunited on<br />
a floor area of five thousand square metres. On the<br />
one hand, you have modular production of all<br />
machine types with final assembly and completion<br />
tasks such as acceptance testing, setting up and carrying<br />
out tests on customer samples. Training courses<br />
and model presentations are also held, with the<br />
latter taking place in an extremely attractive showroom<br />
located within the same building.<br />
Performance-oriented fluid supply<br />
On average, there are 50 to 60 single-spindle and<br />
multispindle machines in the Techno-Center, all of<br />
which sooner or later are filled with a machining<br />
fluid for acceptance testing purposes. This fluid<br />
needs to be drained off completely before the<br />
machines are supplied to customers. Based on a volume<br />
of 1200 to 1500 litres of machining oil per<br />
machine, this soon adds up to more than 50,000<br />
litres!<br />
