V160 grinding in focus
“Turn an INDEX turning machine into a grinder.”
Grinding components from the modular component system
The grinding technology is integrated into the existing machine base versions, without designing a new machine from scratch, by choosing from the existing INDEX modular system. Once again the high precision of the turning machine appreciated by many users turned out to be an advantage, since the system extension of the machine does not require any change to the basic structure. The result is a complete machining center showing all the features of modern process integration. Hard turning and grinding on a single machine. With this machine, the user does not have to make any compromise. The existing full turning functionality of the work spindles, tool carriers and turrets is maintained and completed with the equally unlimited grinding functionality of the modular grinding components.
