Tornos Multispindle by Hydromat introduces the next generation of Tornos CNC multis, the MultiAlpha 6x32, MultiAlpha 8x20 and MultiSigma 8x24. In response to the ever-increasing need for the production of more complex components without secondary operations, Tornos Multispindle by Hydromat solves the issue with the addition of the three-axis independent counter-spindle with five backworking tool positions and the latest advancement: Integrated Independent Motorspindles.
The MultiAlpha and MultiSigma units are both ‘ground-up’ re-designs featuring work spread over 6 or 8 spindles. These new multis are both equipped with this latest generation of spindles featuring synchronous motors. Each spindle functions independently of the others for cutting RPM, spindle stops and indexing. The spindles with independent speed settings enable the full range of cutting tools to be employed. This extends tool life and improves the quality of the components produced. With every position potentially being used as a C axis, allowing any positioned transverse milling or drilling operation to be performed at any time and on all spindles. These spindles can be synchronized in angular fashion, meaning that positioned operations such as eccentric drilling can be performed at several different stations. The advantages to this system include; optimum speed on each position in accordance with the type of machining required, unrivalled capacity for stock removal, great flexibility, C-axis, “Transmit” function, stopping, and exceptional spindle acceleration.
