With three 14-position tool turrets and identical main and counter-spindles, the INDEX C100s are designed for fast, costcompetitive production of medium complexity parts, and turned parts from bar stock 30mm to 42mm diameter. Ideal for small to medium lot sizes, the three-turret machines deliver high performance within a small floor space and are targeted to handle fixed headstock work often run on Swiss-type machines.
The INDEX C100 offers users a highly-productive means of machining with more tools – 42 quick-change tools, fixed and driven – higher horsepower, and greater torque.
The C100 with 30mm bar capacity comes with 9,000rpm spindles and 42mm bar capacity is available with 7,000rpm spindles. Both versions can run parts to 200mm in length. The C100 drives are powerful: 20/29kW and 25/29kW (100%/40%) for the 30mm and 42mm version, respectively. Motorized main and counter spindles are identical and liquid-cooled.
Up to three tools can be at work simultaneously with both Y axes and backworking at the same time. The counter-spindle with linear-motor driven Z-axis can be synchronized with travel of turret three. Counter-spindle pick-up from the spindle is accomplished in just 1.5 seconds.
