MultiLine MS40C

Maximum productivity with optimum flexibility
Designed to meet precise user requirements − the concept behind the new multi-spindle machine • Front-open machine for bar machining • Chuck part processing with loading and unloading by robots • Freely accessible and, thus, quite easy to setup • Highly-dynamic slide with box type guideways (X-axis) • Wear-free Z axis, since quills are mounted on hydrostatic bearings • Extremely fast synchronous spindles with C-axis • Maximum of 6 Tools for backworking at one synchronous spindle; alternatively, maximum of 12 tools based on 2 synchronous spindles • Interlock in machining position by a 3-piece Hirth coupling

The core of the MS40C The compact spindle drum achives highes positioning accuracy using a Hirth coupling. The center modul is formed by 6 integrated fluid-cooled spindle Motors.

Infinitely variable speed control, high torque, compact frame, maintenance-free operation, and modern synchronous technology - these are criteria that characterize an INDEX CNC multi-spindle machine.

Independent speeds During machining, the optimal speed, which can be still varied during cutting, can always be programmed for each spindle position and each cutting insert. The result is better chipcontrol, maximum surface finishes, short cycle times, and longer tool life. You can also machine materials that up to now were hardly suitable for multi-spindles. It is also possible to vary speeds during drum indexing, thus avoiding any separate processing times.

More than just turning INDEX CNC multi-spindle Machines with driven tools, C-axis, and Y-axis give you access to entirely new processes, such as: • Off-center Drilling and threading • Inclined drilling • Cross drilling • Contour Milling • Gear hobbing • Polygon turning
