Summary

The INDEX MS24-6 is a CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe designed for high-efficiency bar machining with up to six independently driven spindles. This machine enables simultaneous multi-tool operations across various spindle positions, supporting complex turning and backworking processes for small to medium-diameter bar stock. Distinctive features include freely accessible work areas, hydrostatically supported Z-axis quills, and flexible tool carrier arrangements that allow multiple production steps per spindle.

Key Capabilities

• Simultaneous CNC turning on six main spindles for high throughput
• Backworking capability with up to six tools on a synchronized spindle
• Independent, highly dynamic X-axis slides and hydrostatic Z-axis support
• Tool carrier design permits several tools per spindle and nearly unrestricted process sequencing
• Accommodates bar diameters up to 24 mm (specification for up to 32 mm with adjusted speed and power)
