SPX 5176 – 2-Spindle Horizontal Machining Center

This machine was mainly designed for multi-spindle machining, horizontal drill- and milling of heavy cylinders. In order to allow the machining of other work pieces, the first unit was designed as dynamic box-in-box unit. This box-in-box unit features an increasing X-traverse path and a higher-capacity work spindle.

The three-part machine frame of the box-in-box unit and the two-part machine base were made of a vibration-reducing composite-material construction. The 2500 mm large CNC-rotary table was designed for extra heavy work pieces with a weight up to max. 45 tons. With this rotary table any angle with an accuracy of ± 3 angular seconds can be positioned.

The use of manually adjustable, automatic exchangeable two-spindle drill heads in both units allows a considerable reduction of machining time. Two automatic tool magazines are additionally able to hold further drill- and milling tools.
