Exhibitionis also what we call our “two machines in one” asthere are an equal number of tools available for boththe main and counter spindle. The Sigma 20 is theperfect machine for those making the switch fromconventional type machining – turning, milling,drilling – to the Swiss-type concept.DECO 13a & DECO 20aThese machines will feature the newest developmentsfrom Tornos for parts produced for themedical industry, specifically parts required for orthopedics.We will be demonstrating the new 24 degreehelix tread whirling attachment. Typical bone screwin the past only required helix thread angles of upto about 16 degrees, but newer designs called forhigher helix angles and Tornos has responded bybuilding a new thread whirling attachment that canproduce these screws. The completely independentend-working unit on the DECO 26a give us theability to support the screw while it is be whirled.The 26a will also feature whirling in counter operationsto show case the flexibility available on thismachine Escomatics.This is the first time Tornos will have an Escomatic atIMTS. We began representing Esco’s unique coil-fedmachines in North America about 18 months ago,and the customer response has been astounding.They fulfill a special niche for technology that canproduce long, thin parts such as pin connectors,other electronic parts and parts for the medical anddental industry fast. These machines are interestingto observe in action. Just don’t blink or you’ll missthe show. And keep in mind that the ESCO machinescan run from barfeed and not just coil stock.Tornos BoothA-8140Those are the broad strokes of what we will have instore for you at IMTS.
