At MACH 2008 Tornos, the world leader in turning machines dedicated to small diameter high added value workpieces will be giving the Micro 7 its UK exhibition debut from stand 5575.

The new Micro 7 guarantees precision of +/-2 microns whilst demonstrating excellent flexibility, productivity and operator simplicity.

Designed for the manufacture of turned parts up to 7mm diameter, the Micro 7 is ideally suited to the precise small component and electronics sectors. With a maximum workpiece length of 60mm and a spindle and counter spindle speed of 20, 000rpm, Tornos is offering a highly productive machine proven to outperform the cam-type machines that have dominated this small component sector.

To enhance processing times the Micro 7 combines its high speed spindles with simultaneous machining in front and back operation modes.

With flexibility instilled in every aspect of the Micro 7, this remarkable new machine can hold up to 20 tools on a 5 + 2 axes configuration (with C-axis). The Micro 7 can work with a wide range of tool holders and equipment suited to the exacting needs of every user. Meeting the productivity, accuracy and flexibility demands of the modern machine shop; the tools on the Micro 7 work independently for flexible manufacture.

For ease of use and customer simplicity, Tornos is launching this machine with the option of the renowned Tornos TB-Deco programming system or the industry standard ISO system driven by a Fanuc Series 32i control. All these elements are built upon a strong and rigid construction that delivers the productivity and accuracy benefits associated with the Tornos family of turning centres.
