{"id":"index-traub-g160","model_id":"G160","name":"INDEX G160","summary":"The INDEX G160 is a turn-mill center for small workpieces. It has two identical work spindles, three tool carriers, and a motor milling spindle with Y/B kinematics. The work area accepts turning lengths up to 760 mm.","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.","Cooling circuit removes waste heat from spindles, hydraulic unit, and electrical cabinet; an INDEX cold-water interface allows heat recovery."],"safety_notes":["Simultaneous machining with all three tool carriers is described as minimizing collision risk."],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.index-group.com/en/products/turn-mill-centers/index-g160","title":"Turn-mill center for high-performance machining of small workpieces","accessed":"2026-10-26"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-26","values":5,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-26","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_multitasking","manufacturer":"index-traub","controllers":[],"spindle_max_rpm":32000,"rapid_traverse_m_min":60,"tool_capacity":120,"max_turning_length_mm":760,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/index-traub-g160","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
