INDEX MS22-8

Eight main spindles, up to two swivelling synchronous spindles and up to 16 tool carriers, which can be configured in XYZ: With the INDEX MS22-8, we offer a machine concept that fulfils all requirements and meets the highest demands.

The INDEX MS22-8 has been consistently developed for the application of state-of-the-art production technologies. The work area is generously dimensioned and set-up costs can be minimised, especially during retooling, thanks to the free accessibility. Even when fully loaded with tools, free chip fall is guaranteed.

Machine concept

• Freely accessible work area and therefore extremely easy to set up
• Highly dynamic slides with sliding guide (X-axis)
• Wear-free Z-axis thanks to hydrostatically mounted quills
• Open-front machine for bar processing
• Chuck part machining with loading and unloading by robot
• Directed part removal through linear handling
• Extremely fast swivelling synchronous spindles with C-axis
• Swivel arm is locked in the machining position with three-part Hirth gear manufacturing for maximum rigidity
• Max. 6 tools for rear end machining per swivelling synchronous spindle

The extension variants

The double four-spindle machine

• Additional reduction in cycle time thanks to the simultaneous production of 2 workpieces

• 14 tool carriers with 1 or 2 axes (optionally also Y-axis)

• 2 swivelling synchronous spindles

• 2 rear slides (optional) with 3 tools each, up to 2 of which are driven

  Your advantage: Two identical or two different workpieces can be machined in parallel.
  Result: short cycle times.

Eight-spindle machining with simultaneous rear-side machining

• Front-side machining with up to 15 tool carriers X/Z (optional Y-axis)
• Simultaneous machining on the cut-off side
• 1 swivelling synchronous spindle
• 1 rear side slide
• Versatile machining options
• Machining of highly complex workpieces possible

Your advantage: Cycle time reduction with time-determining rear-side machining
