THE NEW SWISS DT 26 : EVEN MORE FEATURES
Simple but robust kinematics
The proven kinematics of the Swiss DT 26 features five linear axes.
Given the bar capacity and the performance of the machine, the Tornos engineers have prioritised good chip evacuation by arranging the gang tool post above the guide bush or the spindle.
With its spindles that can deliver a power output of more than 10.5 kW during front and back machining and a bar capacity of 25.4 mm, the Swiss DT 26 will prove to be very efficient in this field.
Simple yet modular
In today’s market, users face numerous challenges.
One challenge is the ability to respond quickly to the requirements of clients in an often uncertain environment.
It is therefore very important for Tornos to understand and replicate this quick response philosophy.
From now on, every machine built by the manufacturer headquartered in Moutier will have modular machining areas.
Even the entrylevel machines can now offer advanced machining operations.
This ensures the new Swiss DT 26 machine is no longer confined to turning and milling tasks, but can be equipped with various tool holders that help the machine owner to quickly respond to a large variety of requirements.
Modular configuration for front machining
The machine comes equipped with four radial drills for front machining operations.
This equipment grants the user high flexibility.
To improve this flexibility further, the machine can be provided with a thread-whirling cutter or a polygon cutter.
This will make it easier for the Swiss DT 26 to produce medical screws or to perform face milling tasks with these two attachments.
The thread-whirling cutter can be inclined by +/-15° and it can rotate with a maximum speed of 5,000 rpm and it is capable of machining diameters up to 10 mm. On the other hand, the polygon cutter can also reach a maximum speed of 5,000 rpm while the diameter of the polygon cutting tool is 80 mm.
Modular configuration for back machining
The modular configuration for front machining is a benefit that is highly appreciated for an entrylevel machine. However, in the case of the Swiss DT 26, that’s not all. The back machining post can be equipped with both stationary tools and driven tools.
This post can also accommodate advanced tooling such as a high-frequency spindle for machining a Torx® pattern or even a slotting device.
A full set of equipment
The tool holders of the Swiss DT 26 machine are compatible with the Swiss GT 26, Swiss ST 26, Swiss GT 13 and the Swiss DT 13. Apart from these tool holders, Tornos offers a full set of equipment for its machines.
Whether it’s a bar feeder, a chip conveyor, a high-frequency spindle or an oil mist separator,
Tornos can always offer a solution for your problem.
