MS24-6 CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe for high productivity and short cycle and setup times

INDEX CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe: high level of flexibility, shorter setup and cycle times With the INDEX MS24-6 multi-spindle automatic lathe, which The INDEX quick-clamping system, patented W-serration, and can be configured according to manufacturers' specific ergonomic open-front work area minimize setup times. needs, INDEX is presenting a machine concept that meets Maximum dynamic response and minimum non-productive stringent requirements and the highest demands. times also contribute to low part costs. Six main spindles, up to two swiveling synchronized spindles, and up to...

Flexible, highly productive, and quick to set up – the machine concept of the INDEX MS24-6: • Highly-dynamic cross slide with sliding guide (X axis) • Non-wearing Z axis thanks to quills with hydrostatic support • Freely accessible working area, making setup particularly easy • Fast tool setup with the INDEX quick clamping system and its W-serration interface • Extremely fast swiveling synchronized spindles with C axis - the swivel arm is locked in its working position by a threepiece Hirth coupling providing maximum rigidity • Up to 6 tools for rear end machining per swiveling synchronized...

Our hallmark: the spindle drum The compact spindle drum ensures maximum precision in each and every position through the use of a Hirth coupling. The core is composed of six fluid-cooled motorized spindles integrated in the spindle drum. An infinitely variable speed range, high tractive force, compact design, low maintenance, and the latest synchronous drive technology - these are the criteria that make an INDEX CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe stand out. Workpiece clamping can be achieved both by push/pull or chuck clamping. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for raw part feeding...

Precise, fast, and flexible Versatility is a strength of the INDEX MS24-6. Whether complex or more simple parts are involved or even varying processes, –anything is possible • A maximum of 12 tool carriers with 1 or 2 travel axes • Y axes (optional) • 1 or 2 synchronized spindles • Variable use of tool carriers for internal and external machining • Use of several tools per tool carrier possible • Cross machining with live tools • C axis and polygon turning for extended fields of application Rear-end machining with swiveling synchronized spindle • Up to 6 tools, 2 of which are live • Fast...

The tool holders Tool holder change: 50% faster setup times The INDEX MS24-6 succeeds in further simplifying various setup tasks. Each cross slide now has a W-serration interface, which significantly facilitates the µm-accurate alignment of the tool holder and prevents its misalignment. The operator can preset the tool holder externally, place it on the slide, and fix it in position using the newly developed INDEX quick clamping device. All that is then needed is a quick turn with the wrench and the holder is ready to use. Thanks to this plug & play approach, the holder is changed in just...

Simply more possibilities The work area – virtually limitless machining capabilities in each spindle position The tool carrier arrangement in the work area, without longitudinal sliding block, allows more than one tool to be used on each spindle. Available machining operations are therefore limited only by the tool holder. The result is that all production steps in all spindle positions can be freely defined. Another advantage: They have free chip fall. Performance as we understand it Maximum productivity and cost-effectiveness of multi-spindle automatic lathes, combined with the precision...

Milling Milling with live tools in the following variants: • Disk milling cutter in conjunction with C axis operation (transmit function) • End milling cutter in conjunction with Y axis operation • Plunge milling (see j diagram) Gear cutting, gear hob-bing • Coupled with electronic precision • Maximum stability • Teeth in correct position relative to other surfaces or shaped elements • Any angular offset can be programmed • Greater tool service life as a result of shifting with Y axis Elliptical deburring of cross-drilled holes Uniform deburring (even chip removal) of cross-drilled holes...

Workpiece handling systems Stationary workpiece removal device with integral parts conveyor The workpieces fall onto the internal conveyor belt through a chute and are then deflected 90° by a second chute to reach an external conveyor belt. Position-aligned workpiece removal with integral parts conveyor The workpieces are removed from position 6 by the synchronized spindle and are aligned in position to the internal conveyor belt for parts that are not to be ejected. Position-aligned workpiece removal with intermediate gripper and linear shuttle Very rapid, damage-free, position-oriented...
