INDEX announced that it will be demonstrating its full range of high-precision machining solutions at IMTS 2024, which will include the North American debut of its C200 FANUC, a cost-effective new variant of its production machining center. The company will also showcase the INDEX iXperience, its comprehensive portfolio of value-added services that provide manufacturers with an optimized solution, from acquisition and installation of a single machine to development and delivery of a turnkey production system.
“The C200 FANUC merges the innovative design and high performance of INDEX’s successful production turning center with a FANUC control,” said a company spokesperson. “Powerful twin spindles achieve rapid material removal while the patented SingleSlide guide system offers an incredibly fast dynamic response by providing two degrees of movement in one plane. The machine’s inclusion of a third turret enables dramatic productivity gains, as it can quickly move between spindles for high flexibility and cycle time minimization.”
With eight motorized spindles, the MS40-8 CNC multispindle allows for short cycle times on complex and simple parts. The machine is available with dual synchronized spindles and can be operated in a double four-spindle mode to produce two complete parts with every full rotation of the spindle drum. The machine can be configured with up to 18 CNC slides, as well as additional Y axes, to perform a diverse range of processes. All of the machine’s motorized spindles are fluid-cooled and can operate independently of the other seven, allowing each to apply cutting data optimized to the process being performed.
Able to switch between sliding- and fixed-headstock operation in minutes, the TNL20 provides a flexible solution for shops producing parts suited to Swiss-type machining. With a rigid, vibration-damping bed, the TNL20 maintains accuracy while also allowing up to four tools to be put in the cut simultaneously. With two turrets and the use of double and triple holders, the machine can accommodate up to 58 tools to flexibly tackle a wide range of complex small parts.
Designed to fully machine even complex parts in a single set-up, the G220 turn mill combines twin spindles, two turrets, robust 5-axis milling capabilities and a capacity to hold up to 169 tools. The machine offers high dynamics and generously dimensioned linear guides in the X and Z axes, allowing it to achieve optimal cycle times for parts with numerous, varied features and specification requiring tight tolerances.
In addition to seeing cutting demonstrations, visitors to INDEX’s booth will have the opportunity to learn about the INDEX iXperience. This term encompasses the total-company approach that INDEX has developed to efficiently and effectively provide whatever level of solution a manufacturer requires. It includes close coordination between the sales, proposals, project management, applications, service and spare parts teams to help ensure a comprehensive and ongoing solution to a customer’s needs.
