INDEX R300

Separate subsystems for the upper and lower motorised milling spindles enable full backworking or parallel machining, short travel distances in a clearly arranged work area: With the R series, INDEX is setting the standard for a new generation of turning/milling centres.

Two motorised milling spindles machine in two independent subsystems, even in 5-axis machining. Heavy roughing or high-precision fine turning operations can be carried out simultaneously on the main and counter spindles.

Parallel use significantly increases productivity compared to conventional concepts. New design solutions for optimum rigidity, thermal and dynamic stability and vibration damping also offer the highest machining quality.

Complete machining

• Separate subsystems for upper and lower motorised milling spindles; therefore fully-fledged backworking or parallel machining
• Simultaneous 5-axis machining possible on both spindles
• Generous tool storage for high flexibility
• Tool strips with a total of 12 fixed tools permanently in the work area

Speed

• Parallel machining with 2 milling spindles
• High acceleration and high rapid traverse rates
• Chip-to-chip time for automatic tool change in just 6 seconds
• Short travel distances in a very easily accessible and clearly organised work area
• Powerful motorised milling spindles for high cutting performance

Magazine

With up to 140 magazine slots, tools can be changed on both milling spindles in just 6 seconds chip-to-chip time. The tool loading bar provides even more productivity gains. Here, 8 tools can be changed parallel to machining time.

• 70/140 tool positions (HSK-T63 holder)

• Shortest change cycles; chip-to-chip time only 6s

• Simultaneous and independent changing possible on both milling spindles

• High functional reliability thanks to standard tool magazine in chain design

Motorised milling spindle: 95 Nm concentrated torque
The arrangement of the milling spindles in the centre of the machine bed ensures force transmission via particularly short lever arms. The result is high vibration damping and thus extended tool life.
The benefit for you: Better workpiece quality and reduced costs over the entire life cycle of the machine.

Handling
Loading with short loader or robot, manual insertion or automation with full integration

W-serration
Each motorised milling spindle is equipped with 6 tool positions for stationary turning tools for highly productive machining. The W gear manufacturing ensures maximum repeat accuracy when changing a tool holder.

Gear manufacturing on R300
With the unique machine kinematics, complete machining of bevel gears is possible on the INDEX R300. With considerable added value for the user.
