How much does the INDEX C200 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from INDEX-Traub. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The INDEX C200 is a twin-spindle production turning center with VDI turrets and a separate milling spindle, built for complete machining of bar parts up to 220 mm in diameter and 550 mm long. Each spindle is offered for 65 mm (2.6 in) bar at 6,000 rpm or 90 mm (3.5 in) bar at 3,500 rpm, and the main and counter spindles carry identical ratings, which lets either end of a part be cut with the same capability.
The spindle drives are listed at 32 / 40 kW and 170 / 207 Nm, both at 40% duty. The table does not say whether each pair splits by bar size or by duty cycle, so ask which figure belongs to the version being quoted.
Tooling is where the C200 differs from a plain turning center. The table lists 14 turret stations with VDI25 or 10 with VDI30, and total tool capacity as 42. Driven tools run to 8,000 rpm with 10 kW and 16 Nm at 25% duty. A separate milling spindle reaches 12,000 RPM, and with a B-axis swinging from −10° to +190° the machine works on 5 simultaneous axes (X, Y, Z, B, C) plus the counter spindle. Y-axis stroke is ±50 mm (100 mm (3.9 in) in total), so off-centre features stay within a modest window.
The axes are short and fast: 110 mm (4.3 in) of X and 320 mm (12.6 in) of Z, with rapids of 30 m/min on X, 15 m/min on Y and 50 m/min on Z, a 60 m/min rapid traverse row and 1g acceleration. That is a layout for cycle time on small and medium parts. The Traub TX52, by contrast, is listed with a 100 mm (3.94 in) turning diameter and a single 12-station turret.
Control is a Siemens S840D sl with an 18.5 in touchscreen or a FANUC 31i-B with a 15 in screen. Plan for 9,000 kg (19,842 lb), a footprint of 6,910 × 2,092 × 2,490 mm (L × W × H) and a 72 kW supply.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Main and counter spindle with identical ratings, each offered for 65 mm (2.6 in) bar at 6,000 rpm or 90 mm (3.5 in) at 3,500 rpm
- Tool capacity of 42, with 14 turret stations with VDI25 or 10 with VDI30
- 12,000 RPM milling spindle on a B-axis swinging −10° to +190° for 5-axis simultaneous work
- Rapids up to 50 m/min on Z and 1g acceleration for short cycle times
- Choice of Siemens S840D sl or FANUC 31i-B control
Limitations
- Y-axis stroke is ±50 mm, which limits how far off centre milled features can sit
- X travel is 110 mm (4.3 in) and turning length 550 mm, so long or large parts are out of range
- The 90 mm (3.5 in) bar version is limited to 3,500 rpm
- At 9,000 kg (19,842 lb) and 6,910 mm long, the machine needs a large floor area and a 72 kW supply

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Two versions are listed: 65 mm (2.6 in) bar with a 6,000 rpm spindle, or 90 mm (3.5 in) bar with 3,500 rpm. The spindle clearance row reads 65 (90) mm. The counter spindle takes the same bar sizes and speeds as the main spindle.
02
The table lists 14 turret stations with VDI25 or 10 with VDI30, and total tool capacity as 42; ask INDEX how the 42 splits across the turrets for the tooling system you choose. Driven tools run to 8,000 rpm with 10 kW and 16 Nm at 25% duty.
03
Yes. A milling spindle reaching 12,000 RPM sits on a B-axis with a range of −10° to +190°, and the machine is listed for 5 simultaneous axes (X, Y, Z, B, C) plus the counter spindle. Y-axis stroke is ±50 mm.
04
Rapids are 30 m/min on X, 15 m/min on Y and 50 m/min on Z, and the table also lists a 60 m/min rapid traverse and 1g maximum acceleration. Travels are 110 mm (4.3 in) in X, 100 mm (3.9 in) in Y and 320 mm (12.6 in) in Z.
05
The machine weighs 9,000 kg (19,842 lb), measures 6,910 × 2,092 × 2,490 mm (L × W × H) and needs a 72 kW supply. Allow extra length for a bar loader, which the footprint does not include.
