Continuous technological advances in the field of machining alloys, heat treatments, chip removing tools and machine tool components, provide great opportunities for such improvement. Tacchella Macchine Multi-Tech introduces new and revolutionary machining practices by combining in a single machining system different and in some cases contrasting processes to solve both special and common problems. Thus, Multi-Tech sends a clear, forward-looking message to the market on possible integration of grinding/ turning/ milling/ drilling/ tapping/superfinishing and other processes - evolving from the construction and quality features typical of Tacchella grinders - together with unparalleled operating flexibility, providing renewed opportunities for reconsidering production methods with an eye to the future. Some of the benefits are immediately obvious as, compared to con-ventional solutions, the new concept brings with it a significant improvement in the quality/cost ratio of end products, optimizes machining environment logistics through a marked reduction in machine tool lifecycle costs, permits multiple process operations with a single workpiece set-up - for both chucking and between-centers work, resulting in production processes of outstanding versatility and machined products of high quality. Multi-Tech is aimed at the high-volume production market, where continuous advancements in tool and systems development enable production methods to be redefined, with a view to improving the all-important quality-cost ratio. It is also aimed at the flexible manufacturing market - high, medium and low productivity - in which new levels of process and systems flexibility permit maximum utilization of production resources.
