TORRESTOOL®

Multiflexible Universal Holding Fixture

The TORRESTOOL® is a modular concept consisting on a number of carriages that move on the X-axis direction, with a number of supports per carriage, that move on the Y and on the Z axes.

Each support rod has a self adjusting 45º tilting capability vacuum holding cup on the top. In certain applications a part clamping device is set up on top of the rod instead.

The TORRESTOOL® is controlled from a PC where all part programs are downloaded from, into the MTORRES developed multiaxes controlled system to trigger the TORRESTOOL® repositioning process.

THE DATA:  The ever increasing need of flexibility in in the industry has boosted the applications for the Flexible Tooling System providing M Torres with a world’s leading position for the system.

By integrating the TORRESTOOL® with the TORRESMILL® or TORRESDRILL or TORRESLASER®, the system provides the highest degree of flexibility on their milling, drilling or laser cutting operations, reducing change over time from one part configuration to next to a maximum of two minutes. All supports rods with vacuum cups or clamping devices move simultaneously in the X/Y/Z axes and are automatically locked in their final positions.

TORRESTOOL® Universal Holding Fixtures are available in different design configurations, horizontal, vertical, round, 3 Axis, single axis, etc ,and in any required size to be integrated with other MTORRES machines.

All supports rods move simultaneously in X, Y, Z axes and are automatically locked in their final position. All motions are servo driven and NC controlled.

Ground guide ways, rack and pinion and balls crews systems are used to drive the axes.
