Traditionally used to manufacture long and slender parts, Swiss type machining is finding an ever growing sphere of application on a range of increasingly complex workpieces. As designs become more complex, the requirements on the machine tool are increasing. To meet the new requirements on operational flexibility, Tornos teamed up with the CAM\/CNC software specialists, ModuleWorks and AixPath, to develop new software for automatic and fully flexible kinematic reconfiguration of the SwissDECO machine tool.<\/p>

The solution is based on the high-performance ModuleWorks kinematic solving algorithms for continuous 5-axis milling and turning. AixPath integrated the algorithms into a new 5-axis interpolator that extends the functionality of the Tornos TISIS programming environment. The new AixPath interpolator enables operators to quickly and easily program the Tornos SwissDECO for continuous 5-axis machining via the movement of the rotary machine tool axes, thereby combining milling and turning operations in a single Swiss type process for highly accurate and cost-effective machining of a wide range of complex workpieces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
