Automatic turning to perfection

The INDEX ABC has 2 tool
turrets with 14 tool mountings. An upper turret with
7 tool stations plus a fixed
station for mounting a synchronous spindle (for chuck
or collet clamping) and a
lower turret with additional
6 tool mountings. Plus five
back-boring stations (of which
2 are live) for cutoff-end
machining.
Optional polygon turning unit
up to size 24 also in steel.
