Introducing the Next Generation of Turning Machines
IMTS 22: Index will debut the next generations of its G220 turn mill center, MS32-6 CNC multispindle and TNL12 sliding headstock lathe.
Index Corporation announces that IMTS 2022 will host the North American debut of the company’s next generations of its G220 turn mill center, MS32-6 CNC multi-spindle and TNL12 sliding headstock lathe. Index will be located in the South Building.
The G220 is said to incorporate and refine the design principles introduced via the larger G320, G420 and G520 machines. With dual spindles, two tool turrets, a five-axis milling spindle and high-capacity tool magazine, the machine can produce a wide variety of parts in a single setup.
The design concept of Index’s G Series machines begins with a rigid, vibration damping machine bed in a mineral cast block design. Each machine in the series combines optimal stability and damping properties with high dynamics and generously dimensioned linear guides in the X and Z axes.
The G220’s powerful milling spindle offers a hydrodynamically mounted Y/B axis arranged above the axis of rotation. Each of the machine’s turrets provides movement along the X, Y and Z axes, and each of the turrets’ stations can be equipped with live tooling. Additionally, the G220’s large workspace and internal layout enables simultaneous machining with the milling spindle and both turrets. Index says these combined features enable incredible flexibility to cut varied part features and geometries with extremely high efficiency.
Index will also showcase the MS32-6 CNC multispindle for the first time in North America. Featuring a modular design that achieves flexibility and fast, user-friendly setups, the MS32-6 brings the benefits of multi-spindle production to a much broader range of applications.
Comprehensively redesigned from its previous iteration, Index says the new TNL12 sliding headstock lathe offers an exceptional value proposition to manufacturers of small parts, especially those serving the medical industry.
