MS40C

Front open multi spindle automatic


min / max


  • Six separately driven motor spindles with C-axis capabilities
  • Speed control for optimal cutting speeds, favorable chip breaking, and short cycle times
  • High dynamics exhibiting all CNC advantages
  • Particularly suitable for part families due to flexible setup and fast changeover
  • Complete machining with driven tools in all spindle positions
  • Very fast synchronous spindle(s) with C-axis
  • 6 tools for backworking for one synchronous spindle;
    alternatively, maximum of 12 tools based on 2 synchronous spindles
  • C axis and polygon turning for extended applications
  • Front open machine for bar machining
  • Loading and unloading of chuck parts via robot



The construction


min / max


The CNC multi-spindle automatics MS40C is designed as modular system. Customized configuration with up to 12 CNC cross-slides, Y-axes, synchronous spindles, and further options enables high-productivity machining of bars as well as chucked parts. The V-shaped arrangement of the tool carrier in every spindle position guarantees that only the tool holder determines the type of machining. Thus, external and internal machining can be carried out with fixed or driven tools at every station. Furthermore, the machine can also be configured as a twin three-spindle machine.

Variety of machining possibilities on each of the 6 motor spindles

The known advantages of the INDEX CNC multi-spindle automatics, such as the hollow-shaft motor technology in all work spindles and the optimum selection of the cutting data via the CNC program, are also integrated in the MS40C. The C axis existing in all spindle positions also allows the complete machining of complex workpieces in short time. Due to optionally available Y- axes, eccentric machining can be carried out in addition. The front-open design in combination with the intelligent arrangement of the tool carriers allows the end slide block to be omitted. This guarantees a free chip fall and thus a high process safety.
