The Tornos-Bechler product range is always being developed in order to meet customer requirements in the most targeted ways. Today, the company is proud to present its 8-spindle lathe incorporating the DECO 2000 concept.

The DECO 2000 concept applied to an 8-spindle lathe: the ease of programming coupled with the absolute power of an 8-station multispindle unit, now opens up all production options, ranging from the highly complex to the most demanding in terms of quality and precision.

Eight spindles provide more positions, more operations and the facility to complete all types of parts in a good quality finish. This ultimately means that Tornos-Bechler can now offer a lathe capable of executing parts which could not be machined with such versatility. The mechanical part of the lathe, based on elements that have already been tried and tested on the MULTIDECO 20/6 & 26/6 (Hirth teeth, three roller bearings and base made from mineral cast iron) coupled with the vast experience in conventional multispindle lathes (SAS and BS), has been ideally completed by the hybrid concept of the MULTIDECO 20/6 & 26/6, namely : a camshaft to guarantee the minimum of downtimes, as well as the power of the PNC-DECO.

Compared witih a MULTIDECO 20/6, the MULTIDECO 20/8 has two additional stations, thus allowing for the machining of highly complex parts (transverse operations on additional stations, for example) and the highest levels of finish (roughing work and finishing on 2 stations).

Major Features

  • TB-DECO programming software (identical with the DECO single spindle software) running in Windows (on external PC) offering optimized programming. (Management of operation sequences, tool catalogue, programming method, production times, path simulation, etc.)
  • PNC DECO control, managing simultaneously all the axes and avoiding the physical 360° angular limits
  • Barrel-lock with Hirth coupling
  • Reduced non productive times
  • Barrel correctors
  • Axis for back machining
  • Standard tooling from the market
  • Standard attachments
  • Integrated tool presetting
  • Programmable drilling motor
  • Programmable tapping motor
  • Programmable counter-spindle motor
