Production Turning Center Offers Cost-Effective Performance



The INDEX C200 FANUC is a cost-effective new variant of its production turning center. Incorporating the INDEX SingleSlide guide system and three turrets to maximize the number of tools simultaneously in the cut, the C200 FANUC offers productive, accurate machining.

"Unique in its design and performance, the INDEX SingleSlide system provides two degrees of movement in one plane," said a company spokesperson. "The system is composed of guide strips with a wear- and friction-reduced coating and hardened and surface-treated guide plates. SingleSlide allows for high dynamic response while providing strong damping performance, resulting in lower cycle times, tool life increases of up to 30% and excellent part quality."

The C200 FANUC incorporates three VDI25 turrets that accommodate 14 tools each. The ability to apply all three turrets simultaneously allows for reduced cycle times. Operators can apply two Y axes to the main spindle or one Y-axis on the main and counter spindles to further optimize the production of complex parts.

The C200 FANUC uses INDEX's cooling concept, whereby heat generated by the spindles, hydraulic unit and control cabinet is captured and removed through a central fluid circuit. This efficiently transfers heat energy from the machine without dissipating it to the surrounding environment. The system can be connected to a local cooling unit or central system, making it adaptable to a shop's existing production.
