B400 in focus
Structured Machine Architecture
The INDEX B400 stands as a rational extension of the tried-and-true manufacturing solutions found within the INDEX Group. Tailored to individual needs, this versatile universal lathe is suitable for both tooling and prototyping, as well as production. The wealth of knowledge accumulated over decades is manifested in various design elements, including a pocket in the panel above the main spindle that allows for the collision-free utilization of long boring bars
