Updated, compact CNC six-spindle lathe has highly dynamic drive for consistent surface finishes, high cutting speeds, stepless spindle speeds and servo controlled C-axis milling.

The new updated version of our latest full CNC multi-spindle lathe will be shown at this year's EMO exhibition at Hannover, 14.09.2005 to 21.09.2005. The SC26 marks the start of an evolutionary development in multi-spindle turning technology. What distinguishes its design is the consistent application of cutting edge technologies that lead to a considerable increase in performance and flexibility.

This six spindle automatic is of a remarkably compact construction, facilitated by the application of new production methods and the realisation of innovative solutions.

New dimensions have been reached with respect to machining area accessibility, ease of setting and operator friendliness.

The machine also has an extraordinary chip capacity.

It requires an efficient, highly dynamic drive concept to satisfy the extreme demands for consistent surface finishes, highest precision, high cutting speeds also on small workpiece diameters, infinitely variable spindle speeds and servo controlled C-axis milling and cross machining.

These requirements have been fulfilled with the introduction of work spindles that are designed as individually controlled motor spindles.

All work spindles can be individually stopped, positioned at an angle and used for C-axis applications.

The motor spindles are equipped with an integral cooling system that makes use of the existing, already tempered hydraulic oil in the machine.

This eliminates any negative effect the environment might otherwise have on the machining process.

The SC26 is fitted with standard CNC components and a control system based on the Sinumerik 840D.

CNC programs are generated for each spindle position separately which can be achieved without any particular programming aids, using anything from a simple editor to the most intelligent project workstations for CNC programming in ISO code.

We would be happy to welcome all UK and Irish companies onto our stand at Hannover or to our factory in Cologne and demonstrate not only the SC26 but our complete range of multi-spindle automatic lathes.
