The SWISS GT 13: Advanced Machining Solution
Efficiency, versatility and ease of use are the hallmarks of Tornos’ Swiss GT 13, an advanced machining solution conceived to yield measurable production improvements.
After just a year on the market, the Swiss GT 13 is proving itself a champion at delivering highly efficient production of even the most complex parts across a wide range of industrial applications. From components for electronics and medical/dental screws and implants to parts for watchmaking and jewelry fabrication, manufacturers take their turning operations to a new level with this solution.
The Swiss GT 13’s advanced technical features and efficient six-axis kinematics make it ideal for a variety of manufacturing challenges—and breaking into new and lucrative markets.
With a maximum diameter of 13 mm, six linear axes and two C axes, the Swiss GT 13 can accommodate up to 30 tools, 12 of which rotate. Thanks to the intuitive Tornos Machine Interface (TMI) and available TISIS programming system, machine programming in ISO language is made easy and idle time is minimized. The TMI made its debut on Tornos’ popular SwissNano, and TISIS software is renowned for its many onboard aids and macros that take the complexity out of machine operation.
Satisfying your need for speed
The Swiss GT 13 is, in fact, built for speed because every second counts in today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment. Its motorized guide bush is supported by a liquid-cooled, 15,000 rpm motor spindle. Your cycle time is significantly reduced by the machine’s direct rotary drive guide bush that paves the way to high-speed, accurate machining.
Easily work with or without a guide bush and realize the advantages of a comprehensive bar turning solution to drive your productivity and cost efficiency on complex parts. This solution can easily be converted into a guide bushless machine in fewer than 15 minutes with our easy-to-use kit. With our kit, your short parts will be easy to execute. A handy support for your guide bush can be found right next to the spindle—no time-consuming cable disconnection required. Experience guide bushless turning—an advantage that is unique to Tornos customers.
