The presentTB-DECO, ALWAYS INTRODUCING INNOVATIONS!According to its strategy of «making its software more dynamic», <strong>Tornos</strong> is now unveiling the latest TB-DECOsoftware version – the TB-DECO ADV 2007.DECO SigmaThe latest software – the TB-DECO ADV 2007 – notonly enables programming of all the <strong>Tornos</strong>machines based on PNC-DECO (DECO [a-line],MULTIDECO and MULTIAlpha) technology but canalso be used to program the latest DECO Sigmamachines in ISO standard. In order to benefit fromthe advantages of TB-DECO ADV programming onthe DECO Sigma 8 or DECO Sigma 20, there is noneed to modify the numeric control. TB-DECO ADVdirectly generates an ISO program that is compatiblewith the CNC.With the introduction of this latest software package,<strong>Tornos</strong> paid particular attention to adopting theTB-DECO software. Several programming practicesused for other numeric controls can be used with theTB-DECO. It is now possible to program:• G0 for a rapid linear feed.• G17, G18 or G19 to change plane to (XY) P , (ZX) Por (YZ) P respectively.• G98 and G99 for feed modes instead of theEuropean ISO codes G94 and G95.• And so on…This extension of programming facilities also relatesto the spindle controls, such as the transmit function(milling in polar co-ordinates) or cylindrical interpolation.03 / 06DECO MAGAZINE 33
