Tornos MultiDeco 26/6b

The Tornos MultiDeco 26/6b is listed as a six-spindle CNC bar automatic with a 26 mm (1.024 in) bar capacity and back working. It is not in Tornos's current lineup. Several of the listed figures are ranges, so they describe the size of the machine better than its exact limits.

In bar size it sits between two neighbours. The MultiDeco 20/8b is listed with eight spindles on 20 mm (0.787 in) bar and a weight of approximately 8,000 to 10,000 kg. The MultiDeco 26/6b gives up two spindles for a larger bar and is listed at approximately 10,000 to 13,000 kg. The MultiDeco 32/6 goes up again, to a 32 mm (1.260 in) bar and approximately 13,000 to 16,000 kg.

Spindle speed is listed as up to 8,000 to 10,000 RPM per spindle. A range is not a rating, so plan around 8,000 RPM until the machine's own plate or manual says otherwise. Live tooling is listed as available at multiple spindle positions, and each position has multiple NC axes, though neither is counted. Back working means the cut-off side of the part can be machined before it is ejected.

Allow approximately 4.0 m × 2.5 m of floor space. With six spindles the cycle is set by the slowest of six stations, which favours parts whose operations divide evenly into five or six steps.
