Index MS40-8
With the totally configurable INDEX MS40-8, we offer a machine concept that meets all requirements and the most stringent demands. Eight main spindles, up to two swiveling synchronous spindles, and up to eighteen tool carriers, which can be configured in XYZ, enable high-productivity manufacturing. All aspects of the INDEX MS40-8 were developed using state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies. Generously dimensioned and freely accessible, the work area minimizes setup cost, especially for changeovers. Unhindered chip fall is ensured even with full tooling.

INDEX CNC multi-spindle machines with live tools, C-axis, and Y-axis give you access to entirely new processes, such as: Off-center drilling and thread cutting, inclined drilling, cross drilling, contour milling, hobbing (tooth cutting), polygon turning.
- Highly-dynamic slide with sliding guide (X-axis)
- Non-wearing Z-axis dueto quills with hydrostatic support
- Front-opening machine for bar machining
- Chuck part machining with loading and unloading by robots
- Directed part discharge through linear handling
- Extremely fast swiveling synchronous spindles with C-axis
- Swing arm is locked by three-piece Hirth coupling in machining position, ensuring maximum rigidity
