Our best estimate for a multi-spindle automatic in this class — not a quote from INDEX-Traub. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Index G200 CNC Multi-Spindle Turning Machine is listed with 6 spindles, bar up to 32 mm, main spindles and driven tools up to 8,000 RPM, and up to 4 axes per position (X, Z plus 2 driven tools). That makes it a different kind of machine from the G200 turn-mill center on its own page, which is listed with a 200 mm (7.9 in) turning diameter, 660 mm (26 in) of turning length and a 6,000 rpm main spindle.

On a multi-spindle automatic all positions cut at the same time, so the cycle is set by the longest single operation rather than the sum of them. That makes it a machine for long runs of small turned parts. A back-working spindle is listed as standard, so the cut-off end can be machined before the part leaves the machine, and a Y-axis is available at select positions for off-centre drilling and milling.

The listed control is Index iXpanel CNC and the footprint approx. 5.5 x 2.8 m.

The listed figures contain a conflict: a 91 mm spindle bore is listed beside a 32 mm maximum bar diameter. Confirm the model designation, bar capacity and spindle ratings with INDEX before treating any of this as a specification.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

6 spindles cutting at once for high-volume small parts
Main spindles and driven tools up to 8,000 RPM
Back-working spindle listed as standard
Up to 4 axes per position, with a Y-axis available at select positions

Limitations

Bar diameter is listed at 32 mm, so only small parts
A 91 mm spindle bore conflicts with the 32 mm bar figure, so the table needs confirming
The listed figures give no spindle power, torque or machine weight

Best For

Long production runs of small turned parts from bar up to 32 mm Parts that need back-end machining before they leave the machine Turned parts with drilled or milled features at select positions

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is this the same machine as the INDEX G200 turn-mill center?

No. The G200 turn-mill center is listed with a 200 mm (7.9 in) turning diameter, 660 mm (26 in) of turning length and a 6,000 rpm main spindle. This listing describes a 6-spindle multi-spindle machine taking bar up to 32 mm, so confirm the exact model with INDEX.

02 What bar size does this multi-spindle machine take?

The maximum bar diameter is listed as 32 mm. The same listing gives a 91 mm spindle bore, which does not agree with that figure, so check the real bar capacity before planning work.

03 How many axes does each spindle position have?

Up to 4 per position: X, Z and 2 driven tools. A Y-axis is listed as available at select positions, and driven tools run up to 8,000 RPM.

04 Which control and floor space does it need?

The listed control is Index iXpanel CNC and the footprint approx. 5.5 x 2.8 m. Allow additional space for the bar loading magazine and chip handling, which the footprint figure may not include.
