ECX Series

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Schütte ECX Series is an innovative single-spindle automatic machine designed to address the challenges of decreasing batch sizes in industrial manufacturing. It combines the flexibility of single-spindle automatics with the productivity of multi-spindle automatics, making it ideal for medium batch sizes and complex workpieces.

Machine Concept
The ECX Series features one main spindle, one opposed spindle, and six tool units. It offers a freely accessible machining area and an integrated parts handling system. The machine allows parallel machining with up to six tools, significantly reducing part-production times and increasing output compared to conventional machines.

Productivity and Flexibility
The ECX Series is uniquely productive due to its modular structure, allowing for simple conversion and retrofitting. It supports fast installation of tools without additional adjustments and is economically viable for small batch sizes due to short set-up times. The machine also boasts optimum damping properties, energy efficiency, and maximum stability.

Technical Specifications
The main spindle offers up to four 3-axis tool/turret units, while the opposed spindle supports up to two. The machine includes a modular handling system for efficient part ejection and transfer. Key specifications include a spindle passage of up to 65 mm, maximum rotational speeds of 10,000 rpm, and a machine weight of 9,500 kg.

Software Integration
The ECX Series is supported by SICS software, which facilitates configuration, programming, and production. It includes modules for communication, project creation, and simulation, enabling integration with Industry 4.0 applications.

Conclusion
The Schütte ECX Series offers a comprehensive solution for medium batch production, combining flexibility, productivity, and advanced software support to meet modern manufacturing demands.
