FLEXIBLE MACHINING

Reconfigurable multi-spindle machining outperforms standard machines in manufacturing industries. Machine manufacturers are confronted with tough technological requirements today when trying to achieve high precision, high productivity and process capability together with maximum flexibility in machining parts for engines, transmissions and chassis. Anger Machining, Austria, has pioneered the multi-spindle technology in the early 1980s, the combination of these factors has become possible. Overall goal is to cut machining costs dramatically and still allow for adaptability to changing production requirements. The high performance machine HCX is the latest development based on this multi-spindle technology. It connects high accuracy with a massive reduction of machining time. Each of the spindles is geared to the type of machining and tool involved, thus assuring the optimum speed, performance and concentricity for top machining results. During a production cycle, the part is moved in a single clamping devi
