Beefed-Up Backworking on New CNC Multi-Spindle

摘要

The new MS40P CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe from Index Corp. includes a quillstock with six tool carriers and one counter spindle opposite the main six-spindle drum, making it possible to machine complex workpieces requiring many tools with the highest precision in a single process. The flexibility and capability of the machine is well-suited for batch production and for machining families of parts; the front and rear end machining options permit efficient, complete machining of production parts with complex geometry and/or extensive operations on the cutoff end.
