Dynamic multi-spindle machine
Shortest possible changeovers, ultra-high dynamics and lowest secondary times are the basis of minimal cost per part.
Machine highlights
Your benefits

MS16-6 & MS16-6 Plus in focus
The machine design
With dynamic and diverse machining capabilities at low unit costs
- A maximum of 12 tool carriers with 1 or 2 travel axes
- Fast synchronous spindle for rear end machining
- Several tools per cross-slide possible
- Variable use of tool carriers, internal-external, stationary or live
- C-axis machining possible in every spindle position
- Polygon turning and other machining options
Extended version MS16-6 Plus
• Synchronized spindle in position 5.1/6.1
• Cutoff and back-boring slide in position 5.2/6.2
• Grooving or drilling slide 1x selectable per spindle position (1 to 4)
• Extension version with separate cutoff slide 5.0/6.0 and pure back-boring slide 5.2/6.2
• Cross slide 1x per spindle position (1 to 4 selectable)
• Double 3-spindle machining is possible on the INDEX MS16-6 plus
Diverse machining technologies
Polygonal turning
Polygonal turning is possible in longitudinal and grooving processes, even in high-alloy materials
Example: Hexagonal turning i=2:1, referring to the speed ratio of the cutter head to the workpiece
Milling
Milling with live tool, also in conjunction with C-axis mode (Transmit).
Elliptical deburring
Uniform deburring (even chip removal) of cross-drill holes based on interpolation of the C-axis, X-axis, and Z-axis with live tool.
