PDF EN - Tornos

Ms Cigdem Calvez, Plant Manager and Mr Murat Isık, Maintenance Manager.
Multideco machines and four deco machines from
the Swiss manufacturer Tornos. In 2000 when we
were looking for a six spindle machine for a new
high volume project, Tornos was the most competitive
supplier. Providing the right technology for
a competitive price, the machine also ensures high
stability and precision with its special concrete base”
- Ms Calvez. After being satisfied with Multideco
machines, Cengiz Makina invested in Tornos Swiss
type machines for parts up to 100mm long and over.
Knowing TB Deco programming, it was easy to run
other models of Tornos machines.
Highly skilled people…
“ We had our trainings in Moutier with the Turkish distributer’s
engineers. There were no other Multideco
machines installed in Turkey at that time,“ remembers
Ms Calvez. Cengiz Makina has been a very good
reference for Tornos in Turkey and many other Bosch
suppliers invested in Multideco machines. The company
improved its maintenance team with additional
troubleshooting training which enabled them to
change even the spindle bearings in house.
Tornos benefits from an experienced training team
and the opportunity to start customer training on the
machine assembly line at Tornos was helpful to make
Cengiz’s team understand details of the technology
for quick solutions in case of any unexpected trouble
on machines. Cengiz Makina has got a dynamic
and well trained team both for operating and maintenance.
After eight years of experience with Tornos
machines, they have internal training for new operators,
both for mechanical and programming aspects.
User friendliness of TB-Deco is recognized.
“We employ new graduates and train them in house
with our production techniques and quality criteria
to ensure that the Cengiz Makina standards stay
high,” says Ms Calvez.
…for high quality production
Depending on the customer requirements Cengiz
produces up to four sets of parts per month on each
machine. The machines are equipped with spare
tooling which enables quick set up. Pre-setting saves
time. After every set up the quality laboratory confirms
that the parts meet specification before starting
the machine for the production batch.
“The TB-Deco programming software is very useful
and powerful, nevertheless change processes can be
improved as you can’t apply changes on the machine
itself but on the computer. We believe Tornos proposes
improvements on its new models with an integrated
computer,” says M. Isik, Maintenance manager
with Cengiz Makina.
What makes the difference today
Cengiz Makina invests in high-tech machines offering
precision and machine capabilities with the right
price and payment terms. Flexibility to change set
up is also important for future alternative parts with
minimum additional investment.
The competition is getting harder and harder and
the rules of the game make it harder to be the winner.
Cengiz Makina invest in the same technology
as other European suppliers. According to the company,
what gives them advantages is manpower.
