Tornos MultiSwiss 6x14 vs Tornos MultiSwiss 8x26
Tornos vs Tornos · Multi-Spindle Automatics
Summary
The Tornos MultiSwiss 6x14 and the Tornos MultiSwiss 8x26 are multi-spindle automatics for different sizes of work. The Tornos MultiSwiss 6x14 takes bar up to 14 mm (0.55 in); the Tornos MultiSwiss 8x26 takes bar of 8-26 mm. Tornos publishes few comparable figures for this pair, so the table holds only bar capacity and spindle power.
Spindle power follows the same split: 3.7 kW (5 hp) per spindle on the Tornos MultiSwiss 6x14 against 11.00 kW on the Tornos MultiSwiss 8x26. The smaller machine suits small parts made in high volume with light cuts. The larger one suits complex parts that need more than six stations, or a long cut split over two stations to shorten the cycle.
