'However, this statement did not apply previously to long and narrow turned parts, for which an unfavorable ratio of length to diameter made precise machining impossible,' said a company spokesperson. 'With certain combinations of component size, complexity and quantity, CNC-controlled multi-spindle machines are by far the most efficient solution,' continued the spokesperson. Thus, the workpiece can be pre- and finish-turned simultaneously in one spindle position. 'The development team has succeeded in adding a Swiss-type turning unit to the tried and tested MS22-6, retaining all the typical advantages of INDEX multi-spindle machines,' said a company spokesperson.
INDEX-group, with the MS22-6L, offers a Swiss-type turning unit version of a CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe. The typical INDEX arrangement of tool carriers in the working area allows more than one tool to be used on each spindle.
The INDEX MS22-6L as a front-opening machine offers easy accessibility.
