INDEX MS22-6/INDEX MS22-6L
INDEX CNC multi-spindle automatic lathe: the benchmark!
With the INDEX MS22-6 / MS22-6L multi-spindle automatic
turning machines, configurable as desired, INDEX offers a
machine concept that meets all requirements and the highest
standards.
Six main spindles, up to two swiveling synchronous spindles
and up to 11 tool carriers, which can be configured in the X, Y
and Z directions, allow for unimagined machining possibilities.

The highest degree of productivity and efficiency in
multi-spindle automatic lathes, combined with the accuracy
and flexibility of CNC single-spindle lathes, is the formula
for the success of the INDEX MS22-6 and INDEX MS22-6L
multi-spindle automatic lathes.
The INDEX MS22-6 machine
concept has been systematically
designed according to user needs
Machine design
• Compact front-opening machine for bar machining
• Freely accessible, making it extremely user-friendly
• Six high-precision motorized spindles
• Highly dynamic slide with sliding guide (X axis)
• Non-wearing Z axis, thanks to hydrostatically supported
tailstock quills
• Integrated swiveling synchronous spindle for rear-end
machining, and placement of finished parts on conveyor
without risk of damage
• Each working spindle includes two tool carriers
• Includes iXpanel Cockpit solution (based on Siemens
S840D sl)

The key element: it’s original when it originates from INDEX

The key element More than just turning

The compact spindle drum provides maximum precision in INDEX CNC multi-spindle automatic lathes with live tooling,
any position, thanks to its three-part Hirth coupling. C axis, and Y axis, give you access to entirely new processes,
The central module is made up of six air-cooled motorized such as:
spindles, integrated in the drum. An infinitely variable speed • off-center bores and threads
range, high tractive force, compact design, low maintenance, • inclined bores
and the latest synchronous drive technology – these are the • contour milling
criteria that make an INDEX CNC multi-spindle automatic • hobbing
lathe stand out. • polygon turning

Independent speeds
The spindle speed for each spindle position and each tool
edge can be optimized, even while cutting is in progress.
The results are optimum chipping, maximum surface quality,
short production times per piece, and extended tool life.
You can also machine materials that, until now, were largely
unsuited to multi-spindle automatic lathes.

Precise, fast, and flexible
Versatility is a strength of the INDEX MS22-6.
Whether complex parts or many different processes –
almost anything is possible
• 11 tool carriers with 1 or 2 travel axes
• 1 or 2 synchronous spindles
• Insertion of up to 18 tools on main spindles
• Variable use of tool carriers for internal and external
machining
• Cross machining with live tools
• C axis and multi-edge turning for extended use options
Machine structure
The modular INDEX system allows you to build the
MS22-6 according to your exact requirements.

Rear-end machining with swiveling synchronous
spindle
• Up to 6 tools, 3 of which are live
• Fast swiveling motion and hydraulic synchronous spindle
clamping
• Efficient chip fall, as machining takes place outside the
main work area
• A variety of machining possibilities: drilling, outside
turning, facing, thread chasing, thread stripping, off-center
machining, cross drilling
• X axis back-boring slide movement
The double three-spindle machine for maximum work
output
• Additional part production time reduction due to
simultaneous manufacturing of 2 identical workpieces
• 10 tool carriers with 1 or 2 axes
• 2 synchronous spindles
• 2 back-boring slides
• Rear-end machining with 6 tools per synchronous spindle,
2 of which are live
INDEX MS22-6/INDEX MS22-6L
Simply more possibilities
The work area – virtually
limitless machining
options for each spindle
position
The tool carrier arrangement
in the work area, without
longitudinal sliding block,
allows more than one tool
to be used on each spindle.
Available machining opera-
tions are therefore limited
only by the toolholder.
As a result, you can specify
all production steps in
all spindle positions.
Another advantage:
They have free chip fall.
Performance, as we
understand it
Maximum productivity
and cost-effectiveness of
multi-spindle automatic
lathes, combined with the
precision and flexibility of
CNC single-spindle lathes,
is the formula for success
of the INDEX MS22-6
multi-spindle automatic
lathes.

INDEX MS22-6L – high-productivity manufacture
of straight-turned parts
The multi-spindle automatic lathe with straight
turning function
The newly developed INDEX MS22-6L sliding headstock
turning unit enables highly productive machining of typical
straight-turned parts, on a multi-spindle automatic lathe.
The sliding headstock automatic lathes are inspired by
the INDEX MS22-6, which is known for its reliability.
10
By simultaneous use of up to 11 tools (2 cutting edges per
spindle) on the total of 6 work spindles, the INDEX MS22-6L
is the world's most productive solution for producing straight-
turned parts of all kinds. A synchronous spindle also makes
rear-end machining possible with up to 6 tools (2 of which
are live).

Workpiece handling systems

Parts feed and discharge by 6-axis robot via the swivel

disk interface to the external handling system

The workpiece handling system for chuck parts and bar

segments can be used for 6-spindle machining with and
without synchronous spindle, as well as for double 3-spindle
machining.
A 3 x OP10 (first side) and 3 x OP20 (second side) variant,
with external turning station, is also available.

Parts routing via a shoot with built-in parts conveyor

The parts fall onto the internal conveyor belt through a

chute and are then deflected 90° by another chute to reach
a second external conveyor belt

Linear shuttle with intermediate gripper for directed

parts removal

Zero damage, fast, position-oriented removal by a linear and

rotary motion. The workpiece is transferred from the synchro-
nous spindle, from spindle position 6 on the linear shuttle;
this transfers the workpiece to the external handling system.
