INDEX MS40-6

The INDEX MS40-6 is a CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe for bar and chuck part machining. It has six motorized main spindles and two swiveling synchronous spindles for rear-end work, with slides on X, Y and Z axes. The machine uses an iXpanel i4.0 operating system with an 18.5-inch multi-touch screen and a Siemens S840D sl controller.

Study notes

Main spindle group in technical data: max. 6 spindles, 40 mm bar capacity, 7,000 rpm, 13/24 kW at 100%/25% duty, 31/57 Nm at 100%/25% duty.
Synchronous spindle group in technical data: max. 2 spindles, 40 mm bar capacity, 8,000 rpm, 10/14 kW at 100%/40% duty, 16/22 Nm at 100%/40% duty.
Technical data lists swiveling synchronous spindle Z travel 150 mm, 6 tools for backworking, and B swivel range 144 degrees.
Technical data lists 'Number max. 12' together with slide travel X 73 mm, Y 42 mm and Z 120 mm; the design section separately describes 10 tool carriers with 1 or 2 axes and optional Y-axis.
Technical data lists 'Number max. 2' together with slide travel X 82 mm and 6 tools for backworking.
Connecting power is 65 kW.
Controller is Siemens S840D sl; the operating system is iXpanel i4.0 ready with an 18.5-inch multi-touch screen.
The swing arm is locked in machining position by a three-piece Hirth coupling; the swiveling synchronous spindle is hydraulically locked via a Hirth coupling.
Each swiveling synchronous spindle can carry up to 6 tools, of which 2 are live.
The machine is front-opening for bar machining; chuck part machining can use robot or linear handling units for loading and unloading.
A dual 3-spindle configuration produces 2 workpieces simultaneously, with front-end machining on 4 main spindles and cutoff-side machining on 2 swiveling synchronous spindles.
