INDEX MS40-8 - Highly productive CNC multi-spindle machines with 8 spindles, tailored precision

Hightlights

  • Exceptionally agile X-axis with dynamic sliding guide
  • Z-axis without wear thanks to hydrostatically supported quills
  • Front-opening design for bar machining
  • Robot-assisted loading and unloading for chuck part machining
  • Directed part discharge facilitated by linear handling
  • Rapidly swiveling synchronous spindles with C-axis
  • Maximum rigidity ensured by a three-piece Hirth coupling locking the swing arm in the machining position

The Spindle with Exceptional Thermal Stability

Our Trademark

The Spindle Drum The compact spindle drum ensures unparalleled precision through its three-piece Hirth coupling. It consists of eight fluid-cooled motorized spindles integrated into the drum. With infinitely adjustable speed control, high dynamics, a compact design, and maintenance-free synchronous drive technology, it guarantees precision

Individual Speeds

During machining, each spindle position and tool cutting edge can be precisely programmed for optimal, adjustable speeds. This results in improved chip removal, superior surface quality, shorter production times, and extended tool life. It also allows machining of high-strength materials previously unsuitable for multi-spindle machines. Speed changes can be made during drum indexing, minimizing secondary processing times

Configuration

Full Extension Capability

  • 14 Tool Carriers with 1, 2, or 3 Axes
  • Back-Drilling Slide with 7 Tools, Including Up to 4 Driven Tools for Face Machining
  • Multiple Slide Occupancy Options
  • Tool Holder Dictates Machining Direction (Internal or External)
  • Cross Machining with Powered Tools

Benefit: Reduced Cycle Time Thanks to 8 Working Spindles

Double 4-Spindle Configuration

  • 2 Sets of 4 Spindles for Simultaneous Machining of 2 Workpieces
  • Per Workpiece Availability: 6 X/Z Slides, 1 Synchronous Spindle, 1 Part-Off Tool with Back-Drilling Capability, 1 X-NC Back-Drilling Slide, 1 X/Z-NC Back-Drilling Slide
  • Drum Circuit: 3 x 90° = 270° (2 "machines")
  • Multiple Slide Occupancy Options

Benefit: Further Cycle Time Reduction via Simultaneous Manufacturing of 2 Workpieces

Manipulating Workpieces

Utilizing a Linear Shuttle with an Intermediate Gripper

Efficiently removes components from spindle position 8 through swift, position-focused linear and rotary movements. Initially, the workpiece transitions from the synchronous spindle to the intermediate gripper. Subsequently, the linear shuttle transfers the workpiece from the intermediate gripper to the external handling system during secondary processing.

Precise Extraction from the Synchronous Spindle

 Axial discharge, facilitated by a gripper and linear cylinder, from the synchronous spindle in positions 8 or 7 and 8 onto the internal conveyor belt, is employed for parts that may not be ejected conventionally.

Workpiece Handling via 6-Axis Robot

The workpiece handling system, suitable for chuck parts and bar segments, accommodates 8-spindle machining with or without synchronous spindle, as well as double 4-spindle machining. A variation includes 4x OP10 (first side) and 4x OP20 (second side) with an external turning station.

3-Axis Linear Shuttle for Precise Workpiece Extraction

Delivers components seamlessly from the synchronous spindle in positions 8 or 7 and 8 to the front-end external handling system without damage. All three axes of the machine-integrated handling system are controlled via NC for precision

iXpanel i4.0ready included

The iXpanel operating concept provides access to networked production. With iXpanel, your staff always has all relevant information for efficient production. iXpanel is already included in the standard and can be individually extended. You can use iXpanel as you want it for your business organization – that’s Industry 4.0 tailored to your needs.
