Study notes

  • Machine uses a Monoblock structure with a Hirth coupling for spindle drum locking.
  • Main spindle speed is 9,000 rpm; the document states machining bars up to 4 m in length and Ø16 mm.
  • Minimum cycle time is adjustable to below 0.9 s, including double-drop production.
  • Four compound-rest slides are provided for radial or straight turning.
  • All spindle bearings are oil-cooled.
  • Working stroke in all stations is independently and steplessly adjustable.
  • Machine construction is based on a frame or portal design to minimise distortion during machining.
  • Workpieces are machined from the front without angle tools, with front-working tools guided on the central block.
