TORNOS MULTISPINDLE SAS 16.6 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The TORNOS Multispindle SAS 16.6 is a precision cam-operated multi-spindle turning machine designed for high-volume automatic production of small components. This horizontal machining center features six main spindles, each capable of operating independently at speeds up to 8,000 RPM with 10 HP output, enabling simultaneous multi-tool cutting operations. The machine accommodates bar stock with a maximum diameter of 0.630 inches and can process workpieces up to 2.950 inches in length with a maximum turning diameter of 4.000 inches on the main spindle. The SAS 16.6 is equipped with advanced control systems including cross-slides, independent feeds, and counter-spindles, all governed by a single programmable camshaft for synchronized operations. The machine supports up to six simultaneous cutting tools distributed across its primary and secondary tool carriers (slide-type configurations), each capable of handling turning and rotary operations. With its six-axis configuration, the system delivers exceptional operational flexibility for complex part geometries. Productivity reaches up to 50-80 parts per minute depending on part complexity. The machine features an integrated oil bath lubrication system that ensures vibration-free operation at high speeds while protecting bar feed components from deflection. The "Robobar" MSF 316 integrated loader option further enhances automation and space efficiency. With Fanuc CNC control, the SAS 16.6 combines traditional cam-driven reliability with modern programmable precision, making it ideal for high-precision, high-volume production of threaded fasteners, medical components, and miniature turned parts across aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries.
