... Up to complete machining
The versatility of the MS40C is its strength. Whether complex parts or different processes are involved − anything is possible • 12 tool carriers with 1 or 2 Axes • 1 or 2 synchronous spindles • Up to 18 Tools on the main spindles • Variable use of tool carriers for internal and external machining • Transverse machining with driven tools • C-axis and polygon turning for extended applications • Y-axis (optional) Even more possibilities for backworking by means of the synchronous spindle • Up to 6 tools, of which 2 are driven • Quick pivoting movement and Hydraulic clamping of synchronous spindle by means of Hirth coupling • Free chip fall, as machining takes place outside the main working area • Numerous possibilities using driven tools in conjunction with C-axes and Y-axes as well as an electronic shaft

Machine configuration The INDEX modular system allows you to arrange the MS40C according to your exact requirements.

The double three-spindle machine − an interesting configuration possibility • 10 tool carriers with 1 or 2 axes • Additional part production time reduction due to simultaneous manufacturing of 2 identical workpieces • 2 synchronous spindles • 2 back-Drilling slides with 3 tools each, of which up to 2 are driven

With the same configuration level as a 6-spindle machine with simultaneous backworking in two spindle positions • Machining on main spindles • Simultaneous cutoff-side machining on synchronous spindles
