Machine highlights

Your benefits

  • Highly-dynamic slides with sliding guide (X-axis)

  • Non-wearing Z-axis due to quills with hydrodynamic support

  • Front-opening machine for bar machining

  • Chuck part machining with loading and unloading by robots or linear handling units

  • Swing arm is locked by three-piece Hirth coupling in machining position, ensuring maximum rigidity

  • Maximum of 6 tools for rear end machining per swiveling synchronous spindle

  • Already included: the operating systemXpanel i4.0 readywith 18.5” touch screen and INDEXC200-4D based on Siemens S840D sl


MS40C in focus


The machine design

  • Up to 6 tools, of which 2 are live

  • Fast swiveling motion and hydraulic locking of the swiveling synchronous spindle via a Hirth coupling

  • Favorable chip flow due to machining outside the main working area

  • Numerous possibilities using live tools in conjunction with C- and Y-axes as well as an electronic shaft


The dual 3-spindle machine

Additional part production time reduction due to simultaneous manufacturing of 2 workpieces
10 tool carriers with 1 or 2 axes (optionally also Y-axis)
2 swiveling synchronous spindles
2 back-boring slides (option) with 3 tools each, of which up to 2 are live

With the same configuration level as a 6-spindle machine with simultaneous reverse-side machining in two spindle positions

Front end machining on 4 main spindles
Simultaneous cutoff-side machining on 2 swiveling synchronous spindles
