The INDEX IT600 65 mm universal turning machine is designed for machining of simple to complex workpieces, from small to medium batch sizes. Simultaneous machining by two turrets, upper and lower, combined with high rigidity and high torque spindle drive, result in high productivity machining, according to the company. The machine is designed for use in the automotive parts, mechanical parts and other general job shop assignments.
An open work area and the vertical machine bed offer improved ergonomics and permit faster setup of the machine for turning parts up to 600 mm long and 380 mm diameter. The 65 mm spindle offers high torque to 352 Nm and speeds to 4,000 RPM.
The symmetrical machine design is intended to provide temperature stability for production. The machine bed is made of cast iron for stability. The arrangement of the tool carriers with CNC indexing axes provides a large work area despite the compact external dimensions of the machine.
The Y-axis permits surface milling, off-center drilling and off-center deep hole drilling. This Y-axis is generated through the combination of the indexing axis of the turret, the C-axis of the spindle, allowing driven tools to perform a range of operations in almost unlimited positions, according to the company.
Users may select available multifunctional turret or programmable tailstock for shaft machining. The multifunctional turret permits internal machining plus tailstock function.
Tool turret one, the upper turret, includes a 14-station VDI30 tool complement with up to seven of the tools driven. For productive complete machining, the turret has an additional CNC indexing axis (A-axis) to provide concentricity of the tailstock center with the workpiece.
The optional multifunction 10-station turret for shaft and internal machining of holes to 330 mm includes a NC tailstock function and is mounted horizontally in the lower position. The X-axis of the tool turret also facilitates the tool setup.
The IT600 is available with a variety of handling capabilities, including an integrated receiving tray to an external loading gantry, depending on part geometry and batch size. Shafts to 1,500 mm in length and 65 mm diameter and flange-type parts to 120 mm diameter and 70 mm in length can be handled automatically with an integrated receiving tray. The IT600 may also be gantry-loaded.
The FANUC control 32i model B features a control panel with CNC keyboard, axis and spindle override and 10.4" TFT color display. An electronic handwheel is integrated into machine control panel (standard). Memory is available for 72 part programs or more.
