INDEX ABC

Y-axis in the upper turret for a wide range of applications, up to 19 tool interfaces, very low space requirements, polygonal turning also possible in steel

Unsurpassed power density – high dynamics

For machining simple to complex parts in small to large batch sizes, the INDEX ABC offers the best conditions for economical and productive solutions.

The INDEX ABC automatic production turning machine produces simple automatic turned parts as well as complex CNC turned parts for you. The possible applications are virtually unlimited, thanks in part to the Y-axis in the upper turret. It is highly flexible, delivers the best quality, and produces economically.

The technical equipment is designed to meet your needs. Up to 19 tool interfaces are available, allowing you to manufacture your workpieces entirely on one machine.

Machine concept

• Compact design and high performance with unrivalled space requirements
• Spindle passage up to 65 mm
• Reduced cycle times thanks to a highly dynamic working spindle and simultaneous machining with up to 3 tools
• Powered tools can be used on all tool carriers
• Up to 5 rear machining stations
• Fine adjustment of the center height via the Y-axis
• Y-axis functionality for surface milling and off-center drilling
• High repeat accuracy and easy setup thanks to INDEX W gear manufacturing
• Polygonal turning also possible in steel
• Clearly structured, sophisticated workspace concept
• Attractive design

The principle of W-grooves

The patented INDEX W-toothing on the tool holders and turret ensures high repeat accuracy during tool changes.

• VDI 25 tool interface
• Short setup/tooling times
• High changeover accuracy thanks to long fixing grooves
• Extended service life of the cutting inserts
• DIN 69880 compatible
• Suitable for fixed and driven tools
