SwissNano for Flawless Dental Applications

Tornos’ SwissNano is the champion for manufacturing small—even micro—medical and dental parts requiring very high precision. The machine’s unique kinematics enable turning, drilling, cutting, deburring, roughing, and finishing operations for the tiniest parts, whether simple or extremely complex. Behind the SwissNano is a machine concept delivering exemplary balance and thermal management, allowing perfect results. This compact solution offers excellent accessibility for easy setup and can be used with a fixed/rotating guide bush—or no guide bush at all.

SwissDECO and MultiSwiss for Perfect Implants

When it comes to implants—whether for dentistry or orthopedics—Tornos’ SwissDECO and MultiSwiss platforms deliver peerless productivity and quality.
The multitasking SwissDECO range represents Tornos’ vision of the future of the Swiss-type lathe. Its enhanced machining and tooling solutions make it superb for medtech applications. The compact SwissDECO enables highly productive, extremely precise, and high-quality production of complex parts, thanks to its optimized programming tools and ideal ergonomics to speed up parts programming and shorten machine preparation and setup.

At the same time, Tornos’ MultiSwiss platform makes it possible for manufacturers to quintuple their productivity and secure their position in medtech. From screws for facial surgery and spinal fusion to various implants, the easy-to-use MultiSwiss consumes minimal floor space and boasts less tool wear and better surface finish than comparable solutions—all while allowing quicker reaction times, unique homogeneity of production results, and fast setup due to unique accessibility. So, manufacturers boost their productivity, reduce their cost per part, and produce perfect parts.
