Manufacturing from here to high end

From the advent of the first Swiss-type automatic lathe in 1914, to the first mass production of the Swiss-type lathe in 1930; from the world's first CNC multi-axis lathe in 1988 to the revolutionary DECO and MultiDeco concept in 1996... Switzerland Tonas’ contribution to the field of micromachinery is endless. Even so, Tonas has always been a high-spirited feeling. It is regarded as a nobleman in the machine tool. Until the emergence of MultiSwiss 6×14 in 2011, it finally brought the distance between Tonas and Chinese users closer. The combination of technology and price, until today, MultiSwiss 6×14 is the best-selling product of Tonas. Although the MultiSwiss 6×14 has been launched for several years, its appearance has attracted many visitors at CCMT2016.

“The MultiSwiss is a truly innovative lathe and is the first multi-axis lathe on the market with a mobile headstock that fills the gap between the Swiss-type slitting lathe and the multi-axis lathe.” Tonas Trade Mr. Shan Xilin, General Manager of Greater China (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. pointed out the importance of this product. MultiSwiss has 6 moving spindles, using the torque motor technology for shaft indexing, and the machining speed is extremely high, which can be close to the cam. Cycle time for multi-axis lathes. Thanks to the hydraulic static technology, the MultiSwiss achieves excellent surface finish (Ra 0.15) and long tool life even for difficult-to-machine materials.

“MultiSwiss 6×14 has a market share of 100% in machining workpieces with a diameter of 14mm. It has been widely used in the automotive industry and has been successfully applied in the medical and electronics industries. There are also signs. Entering the watch manufacturing industry.” Mr. General said that MultiSwiss has been well received by users since its launch, and its sales have increased year by year, accounting for more than 10% of Tornos' total sales. So far, its domestic sales have reached dozens of units. In 2015, there were 15 units of sales, and some customers purchased 12 units in succession, forming a batch-efficient production capacity of electronic connectors. According to the general statement, Switzerland's Tonas is planning to turn MultiSwiss into a platform product, and will launch multi-axis automatic lathes with more diameters such as MultiSwiss 6×16, which will have great market competitiveness.

Based on the successful practice of MultiSwiss 6×14, Tonas further deepened the “close to the people” route and recently launched the Swiss GT 26 automatic lathe with unique B-axis technology, which was launched in the world during CCMT2016. The Swiss DT 13, a lathe that can accommodate long and short cutting workpieces, was also the first to appear in China.

As a leader in micromachined manufacturing, Tonas has always grasped the pulse of the industry and introduced TISIS communication and programming software for machine tool manufacturing. TISIS enables fast and easy programming and real-time process monitoring. TISIS is an intelligent, advanced ISO code editor that programs the machine outside of the TB-DECO system, manages up to three channels, and automatically synchronizes code between channels. The TISIS database contains all the tool resources, which can be used for compatibility management of various tools and intuitive guidance for users. TISIS also performs program transfers to ensure traceability of information. At the same time, the machine tool group can be monitored to keep abreast of the production status of the machine tools in the workshop. “This is an effective way for Tonas to provide intelligent manufacturing and digital factories for our customers. Of course, smart manufacturing is not a one-off event, but requires long-term technology accumulation and integration. As a supplier of precision lathes, we are willing Work with users to meet future challenges and opportunities."
