{"id":"index-traub-ms52-6","model_id":"MS52-6","name":"INDEX MS52-6","summary":"The INDEX MS52-6 is a six-spindle automatic lathe for bar stock up to 52 mm diameter. It uses motorized spindles and supports rear-end machining, milling and gear cutting with live tools. It is controlled by a Siemens S840D sl system with an 18.5-inch touchscreen.","study_notes":["Available as a six-spindle or double three-spindle machine; the main spindle group uses six fluid-cooled motorized spindles.","Main spindle duty ratings: 20 kW and 88 Nm at 100% duty; 30 kW and 130 Nm at 25% duty.","Swiveling synchronous spindles: up to 1 or 2, 52 mm bar capacity, 6,000 rpm max, 5.7/7.2 kW at 100%/40%, 18/23 Nm at 100%/40%, Z travel 132 mm, 3/6 backworking tools.","Tool slide travels: X 100 mm, Y 56 mm, Z 180 mm; up to 12 tools.","Backworking slide: up to 1 or 2 slides, X travel 82 mm, 3 tools.","Control is Siemens S840D sl with iXpanel i4.0 ready and an 18.5-inch multi-touch screen.","Connecting power is 94-127 kW; long-version dimensions are 4,030 x 2,232 x 3,129 mm.","Rear-end machining allows up to 6 tools per swiveling synchronous spindle; the swing arm is locked by a three-piece Hirth coupling in the machining position.","Machining options include side milling with C-axis, end milling with Y-axis, plunge milling, gear hobbing, and elliptical deburring.","Robot handling can load and unload all six spindle positions with a double gripper; preshaped, forged or extruded parts up to approx. 125 mm can be machined.","The swivel disk provides a standardized mechanical and electrical interface to peripheral handling; the system is closed to limit oil discharge."],"safety_notes":[],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.index-group.com/en/products/multi-spindle-machines/index-ms52-6","title":"INDEX MS52-6 multi-spindle machine","accessed":"2026-10-26"}],"verification":{"status":"source_checked","checked_at":"2026-10-26","values":11,"method":"llm_source_check"},"updated_at":"2026-10-26","type":"hardware","spec":{"category":"cnc_lathe","manufacturer":"index-traub","controllers":[],"weight_kg":12000,"travel_x_mm":100,"travel_y_mm":56,"travel_z_mm":180,"spindle_max_rpm":5000,"spindle_power_kw":30,"bar_capacity_mm":52,"screen_size_in":18.5,"spindle_torque_nm":130,"spindles":6,"joints":[],"protocols":[],"standards":[],"error_codes":[]},"url":"https://machineschema.com/hardware/index-traub-ms52-6","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"}
