Study notes

Spindle clearance is Ø42 mm or Ø65 mm depending on configuration; chuck sizes are up to Ø130 mm or Ø175 mm.
The document states up to 16 productive axes.
Lower tool turrets each accept 15 VDI 25 tool holders with W serration; all tool stations are designed for live tools.
Optional motor milling spindles: 18,000 rpm with 29 Nm, or 32,000 rpm with 17 Nm.
Control system: Siemens Sinumerik ONE.
UNIMAG 5 interface connects an INDEX MBL76 bar loader for 3 m or 4 m bars.
Optional iXcenter robot cell uses a 6-axis robot for up to 7 kg payload with integrated gripper control and a double gripper.
Workpiece handling systems WHU/WH2 have four axes and are operated through the machine control.
Linear unloading unit handles parts up to 5 kg, Ø65 mm, and 200 mm long.
Motor milling spindle can use tools up to 250 mm long.
Turret steady rests are available for long or shaft-type parts.
