Tornos has a well established reputation in the field of bar turning for watchmaking, but never before the launch of SwissNano had a manufacturer gone so far ahead in design, ergonomics and integration research into a human-machine interface with a radical focus on efficiency and simplicity.
For smaller intricate work in small work spaces, the SwissNano machine has been developed so it doesn't require any rear access. If necessary, it can even be placed against a wall. The machining area is protected by a ‘bubble’ and is accessible from all sides.
The aim: to create a new category
- Combining all aspects of design
- Frontal access : complete freedom of action
- Producing 2/3 of movement parts
- Designed for stability
- Setting, monitoring and interaction
The SwissNano was intended to be a resolutely, uncompromising watchmaking machine and its kinematics enable it to produce 75% of the moving parts in a watch.
With a footprint of 1.8 X 0.65 X 1.6m (LxWxH) and a maximum workpiece diameter of 4mm, the Swiss Nano incorporates an X1/Y1 tooling platten with seven turning tools with maximum shank dimensions of 8 X 8mm. The SwissNano also has the capacity for three end mounted tools with a diameter up to 16mm as well as another two end mounted tools for counter-operations.
