Foundry's mill-turning investment ups exports
Coventry-based foundry has upheld and expanded exports by adding on high-tech mill-turning centre facilities to machine turbocharger impellers supplied to Italian and US customers.
Pick-up spindle lathe has hexapod features
A new, hanging-spindle, vertical turning lathe (VTL) has been introduced by Index on which the spindle head is able to move freely in three dimensional space.
An exciting development on show from Index will be the new C-type, twin-spindle CNC lathe, available as a 42mm or 65mm bar machine.
It has a novel turret guideway system comprising a cast iron plate sliding over ceramic-coated steel strips, driven in X and Z by kinematic rods behind the bed.
The machine has the ability to cut with three tools simultaneously.
Noteworthy too will be the Index MS18C CNC multi-spindle, one of three that will be exhibited, the others being the MS32C and the MS52C with robot which will also be making its debut in the UK.
The MS18C offers faster and significantly extended, simultaneous back- working.
One or two kinematically-driven, synchronous pick-up spindles, with C and Y axes in addition to X and Z, present the parted-off component to four driven or static tools, allowing complex and asymmetrical metalcutting on the reverse end of components.
For the first time also will be an Index V160 vertical turning lathe in opposed-spindle and 'compact' configurations; and four 5-axis vertical machining centres from Hermle, the C 30 U, C600U, C40 U, and C30UP which has multiple automation options for pallet change, transport and storage as well as for loading, handling and unloading components.
