They enable the ST-38 to machine turned parts which require up (…)

Tornos offers a large range of automatic multispindle lathes with both 6 and 8 spindles and the company provides solutions which are perfectly suited to machining small diameters. Although machines with 6 spindles are perfect for machining diameters of 1 to 32 mm, producing complex parts at high output rates requiring more work stations has been limited to 24 mm - until now. With their new MultiAlpha and MultiSigma 8 x 28, Tornos is meeting this demand. Manufacturers, from the automotive (…)
