The new INDEX MS40P CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe includes a quillstock with six tool carriers and one counter spindle opposite the main six-spindle drum, making it possible to machine complex workpieces requiring many tools with highest precision in a single process. 
A new concept, the INDEX multispindle affords contract manufacturers the ability to outproduce—by up to 85 percent or more—six or more twin-turret CNC lathes with a single, flexible, high-speed, high precision machine that can work unattended over three shifts. The flexibility and capability of the machine is well-suited to batch production and for machining families of parts; the front and rear end machining options permit efficient, complete machining of production parts with complex geometry and/or extensive operations on the cutoff end. The core of the machine is its compact spindle drum. Six fluid-cooled, infinitely variable hollow-shaft motors are able to drive up to 40 mm bar stock independently from each other. Other characteristics of the spindle drum are: high torque, small frame size, maintenance-free operation, and an advanced synchronous design.
