{"id":"index-traub-ms40-6","model_id":"MS40-6","name":"INDEX MS40-6","summary":"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."],"safety_notes":[],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.index-group.com/en/products/multi-spindle-machines/index-ms40-6","title":"INDEX MS40-6 multi-spindle machine","accessed":"2026-10-26"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-26","values":8,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-26","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_lathe","manufacturer":"index-traub","controllers":[],"weight_kg":7100,"spindle_max_rpm":7000,"spindle_power_kw":24,"bar_capacity_mm":40,"screen_size_in":18.5,"spindle_torque_nm":57,"spindles":6,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/index-traub-ms40-6","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
