New definition of freedom: the continuation evolution is unstoppable ...

Eight spindles and your variants Schütte is launching the second stage of its "Generation SCX" multi-spindle automatics, which have already been successfully introduced to the market. The eight-spindle automatic ACX 36 with a max. machining diameter of 40 mm is a practical addition to the series. The ACX 36 consistently unites the features of the tried-and-tested classic multispindle automatics with regard to: Quickness, rigidity, reliability and productivity. The new ACX can always be adapted exactly to the requirements of the respective product range of the customer. For complicated parts that...

SICS - stands for: simple configuration, operation and programming The configuration, operation and programming of the machine are carried out with the help of the SICS user interface developed by Schutte. It is optimally tuned to the range of functions of the multi-spindle automatic ACX. Machine setters, operating and maintenance personnel can concentrate on their real work because SICS provides them with the respective predefined input and operating menus for their tasks. The co-ordination and distribution of the data to the individual control systems and channels run in the background and...

ACX 36 Stable machine structure A characteristic of the multi-spindle automatics from Schütte is the split arrangement of the machining units for longitudinal and cross machining on two machine stands. This design provides the machine with an extremely high level of stability, which is reflected not least in a high material removal capacity and, for example, makes sophisticated drilling operations possible. Modular system for machining units and attachments The machining units form the basis of the modular system which allows the machine to be flexibly extended, converted or retrofitted with...

Fig. 2, Shift hobbing via Y-axis Fig. 3, The programmable polygon turning attachment makes the creation of a wide range of surfaces on a workpiece easy. Fig. 4, The ACX is also flexible during workpiece removal. Several pick-up systems from the longitudinal and cross axis are available for this purpose. The ACX concept also includes damagefree and accurately positioned discharge of workpieces. Fig. 5, Workpiece parting off and takeover by the opposed spindle Fig. 6, High productivity...

Modular cross machining units - the ideal equipment for your production • CNC compound slide units in all positions as standard • Rigid hydrostatic quill guidance with top damping properties • Optional Y-axis and turret function for follow-up and sister tools • Optional additional slides in positions 7 and 8, simultaneous pre-part-off of a follow-up workpiece during rear-side workpiece machining Powerful on both sides • Longitudinal machining units with hydrostatic quill guidance in the separate machine stand • Straight flow of force of the material-removal forces prevents bending moments on...

Machining area of the ACX – free of drives, slide guides, lubrication and coolant lines. Headstock with cross machining units and drive housing with its longitudinal machining tools.
