The new products launched by INDEX in 2020 are the future processing modes of manufacturing factories. The most advanced machine tool research and development, efficient automation solutions and the ever-evolving INDEX digital world "iXworld" are all benchmarks for the future of metal processing.
INDEX, a lathe manufacturer based in Esslingen, Germany, will display a top-of-the-line turning-milling center INDEX G400 with a turning length of 1600/2300 mm. In 2019, the newly developed INDEX G420 of the same series of machine tools, the upper sliding table is designed as an electric milling spindle equipped with a large-capacity tool magazine, while the INDEX G400 is equipped with a VDI-40 turret with 12 tool positions and a maximum Y-axis stroke It is ±100 mm.
How can a machine tool without automation be called the most modern machine tool? In addition to the integration of the automatic loading and unloading system, the iXcenter robot cell can also be equipped on INDEX G400 and other types of machine tools. Equipped with iXcenter robot cell, it can be used for loading large and heavy blanks and unloading finished parts, making it faster, safer and more flexible.
Shorten setup time and reduce unit cost
The second-generation TRAUB TNL12 walking center automatic lathe also celebrates its debut. Compared with other lathes in the same series, it can now be converted into a walking tool turning center in a very short time. For the production of small-sized precision turned parts, it has higher productivity and flexibility, while reducing space requirements.
Another highlight is the newly developed CNC multi-spindle automatic machine tool MS24-6, which is the successor to the INDEX multi-spindle MS22-6. Compared with MS22-6, the maximum bar diameter of MS24-6 is slightly larger, but the whole is more compact. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision machining, which makes it more economical.
TRAUB TNA500 is the best choice for medium and large workpieces in all general-purpose lathes. It has the characteristics of good rigidity and durability.
Digitalization shows the way for the future
A few years ago, INDEX realized the importance of digital production, so it developed the INDEX digital world iXworld based on the cloud platform, and the available range of applications is rapidly expanding. The iXservices module in iXworld helps you get remote support. You can also call the hotline to get technical support. At the same time, more than 150 service technicians in INDEX Germany and service outlets in more than 50 countries/regions around the world will provide professional after-sales service for your INDEX and TRAUB machine tools.
