Applied, Turret Type Machines Introduced • 1978 To Present: CNC Swiss Refined and Improved • Milling, Slotting, Cross-Drilling, Etc.. • “C” Axis Capability Developed • Sub Spindles and Overlapping Capability • Much More Complex Work Is Possible • Integral Motor Spindles • Fiber Optic Communications • Heavier Cutting and Higher Speed Machining Is Possible

  8. History • By 1990 Cam Operated Machines Have Become Obsolete • Gang Tool Swiss CNC Are Faster and Cheaper • Japanese Consumption Far Greater Than U.S. • European Consumption Slightly Ahead of U.S. • In 1991 Spindle Within Spindle Design Patented by Tsugami • First Major Innovation in Concept Since Coil Fed Escomatics

  9. History • Today (2013) • Swiss CNC Machines Are Available From 4 to 38MM Capacity • Two to Twelve Axes • Gang Type Tooling • Multiple Turret types • Hybrid Turret /Gang Types • High Capacity Automatic Tool Changers
