Index Corporation, a global leader in high-precision CNC turning technology, will present manufacturers with a variety of strategies to streamline production at IMTS 2026, September 14-19.
Visitors to the company’s booth (#339119) in the South Building will witness the North American debutof multiple new machines, including an entirely new design concept tailored to small part production. The company will also demonstrate its full portfolio of proven advanced machine technologies, as well as provide insight into how manufacturers can produce every job faster to maximize profitability.
“When we say every job faster, we are talking about the comprehensive perspective that manufacturers need to embrace to ship good parts as quickly as possible,” said Michael Huggett, president & CEO of Index. “Cycle time reduction is a vital part of that, but it alone can’t get a company to maximum profitability. With the technologies and experts we’re bringing to IMTS, we’re askingattendees to tell us about the parts they need to produce, then demonstrating how they can achieve the mix of cycle time, quality, reliability and automation needed to get the best possible result.”
At the show, the TRAUB MS12-4 CNC multi-spindle will stand out as an entirely new machine concept making its North American debut. The machine effectively combines four TRAUB TNL12 single-spindle sliding headstock lathes into one machine with four primary spindles, four tool turrets, two or fourcounter spindles and up to four Flex-WT flexible tool carriers. A flexible, modular design enables the MS12-4 to be optimized for a manufacturer’s specific production needs. The MS12-4 brings the low cycle times and reliably precise performance of CNC multi-spindles to applications that are poor candidates for a drum-style multi-spindle.
Other machines to be displayed include the Index G160 5-axis turn mill; C200 production turningcenter; the MS24-8, the latest evolution of the company’s family of drum-style CNC multi-spindles; the G320 CNC turn mill for large parts; and the TRAUB TNL20 turning center.
Visitors to the Index booth will also learn about the latest additions to the company’s iXworld cloud-based platform, which includes the iX4.0 productivity apps, iXservice portal, and iXshop procurementportal.
