SIGMA 20 / SIGMA 32

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SIGMA 20 and SIGMA 32 are sliding headstock single spindle automatic lathes designed for high productivity and flexibility. They feature mirror image kinematics, numerical settings, and interchangeable tooling for simplicity and performance.
Simplicity: The machines offer 100% numerical settings and adjustments, with two independent tool slides that are fully compatible and interchangeable. Programming is simplified with ISO or TB-DECO options, and tool changes are rapid and ergonomic.
Performance: These lathes are capable of high productivity with identical headstock and counter spindle, allowing for independent roughing tools and high power for deep cuts and large chip removal. The SIGMA 32 can machine 316L stainless steel with a cycle time of 83 seconds per piece.
Rigidity: The SIGMA 20/32 machines provide identical rigidity in main and counter operations, verified by stress analysis. They can handle machining parameters similar to fixed headstock machines, ensuring quality and reducing tool wear.
Multi-tasking: The machines support up to 28 tool positions and allow for multiple operations with heavy-duty tool holders. They can accommodate up to 12 rotating tools, enhancing flexibility and efficiency.
Technical Specifications: The lathes feature 6 linear axes, high spindle speeds (up to 10,000 rpm), and significant power (up to 7.5 kW). They support a range of clamping collets and offer numerous tool positions for both main and counter operations.
Control and Software: Equipped with FANUC 31i numerical control, the machines offer a 10.4-inch color screen, ISO programming, and various memory and software options. They include features like tool radius compensation, rigid tapping, and graphical tool trajectory views.
Compliance and Accessories: The machines comply with CE and CEM standards and come with standard accessories like part catchers and coolant pumps. Optional accessories include swarf conveyors, tool breakage detectors, and high-pressure devices.
