Key Machine Highlights

 

Simultaneous Two-Sided Machining: Main and sub-spindle configuration provides immediate access to both front and rear workpiece faces within a single setup.
Full Mill-Turn Versatility: Driven tooling combined with optional Y-axis, C-axis, or B-axis capabilities enables multi-axis cross-drilling, off-center slotting, contouring, and thread milling.
Superior Concentricity & Accuracy: Automatic spindle-to-spindle transfer guarantees precise front-to-back phase alignment and eliminates mounting stack-up errors.

High Thermal Stability & Rigidity: One-piece heavy-duty slant bed design dampens vibration during heavy metal removal, extending tool life and preserving tight tolerances.
Flexible Tooling Systems: High-capacity turrets (BMT or VDI interface) accept a versatile mix of static turning tools and high-rpm driven tools.
Seamless Automation Integration: Engineered for lights-out manufacturing with built-in support for bar feeders, parts catchers, and gantry/robotic loading systems.

 

Industry Applications

 

Automotive & EV: Transmission shafts, drive components, steering knuckles, and motor hubs.
Fluid Power & Hydraulics: Valve spools, hydraulic fittings, pump housings, and manifolds.
Aerospace & Defense: High-precision bushings, actuator shafts, and structural connectors.
General Contract Manufacturing: High-mix or high-volume job shops aiming to minimize machine footprint and labor dependency.

 

Twin-Spindle Machining System

 

Main Spindle
Primary roughing, heavy turning, facing, threading, and initial drilling directly from raw bar stock or castings.

Second Spindle
Automated pick-off and precision rear-side operations including facing, back-boring, back-threading, and secondary milling.

Synchronized Transfer Mechanics
The second spindle advances to grip the part at precise Z-axis positions. Speed and angular phase synchronization ensure smooth transfers without interrupting machine cycle momentum.

 

Milling and Drilling Capability

 

C-Axis Contouring: Continuous spindle positioning for polar coordinate milling, radial drilling, and keyway cutting.
Y-Axis Travel: Off-center drilling, Y-axis flat milling, side slotting, and complex 3D surface contouring off the centerline.
B-Axis Head (Optional): Swiveling milling head for angular hole drilling, compound angle machining, and complex 5-axis simultaneous operations.

 

Tooling, Control & Workholding Systems

 

Driven Tooling: BMT or VDI interface turrets providing stable torque transmission for high-speed drilling and heavy end-milling.
CNC Systems: Advanced multi-channel controls managing synchronized double-spindle execution and real-time interference monitoring.
Workholding: Hydraulic 3-jaw chucks, collet chucks, or custom soft jaws tailored to delicate geometries to prevent clamping distortion.

 

Production & Automation Options

 

Automatic Bar Feeders: Continuous stock feeding for uninterrupted small-to-medium bar production.
Parts Catchers & Unloaders: Integrated conveyor delivery system for damage-free part removal during continuous cycles.
Gantry / Robotic Loading: Overhead robotic arms for heavy forged blanks or cast raw parts.
In-Process Tool & Part Probing: Renishaw probe integration for automatic tool wear compensation and critical feature inspection.

 

Custom Machine Configuration & Quotation Process

 

To help our application engineers configure the exact spindle capacity, axis configuration, and automation package for your unit, please provide:
Part Specifications: 2D/3D technical drawings (STEP, IGES, PDF) indicating critical dimensions and geometric tolerances.
Material Details: Material grade (316L Stainless Steel, 4140 Alloy, Titanium, Aluminum 6061).
Production Requirements: Target annual volume, batch sizes, and required target cycle times.
Operational Flow: Preferred loading method (bar feeder, manual billet chucking, or robotic automation).

 

FAQ

Q: What installation, commissioning, and training services do you provide overseas?

A: We provide complete turnkey support. Our field service engineers offer on-site installation, machine calibration, CNC control programming, and operator training worldwide.

Q: How do you guarantee concentricity during spindle-to-spindle workpiece transfer?

A: Concentricity is maintained through precise encoder synchronization, rigid linear guide alignment, and programmable hydraulic clamping pressure on the sub-spindle to prevent part deflection upon transfer.

Q: What is the typical lead time for a customized machine configuration?

A: Standard configurations ship within 30 days. Custom setups involving specialized automation cells, gantry loaders, or specific control units typically ship within 60 to 90 days.

Q: Can this machine be integrated into an existing automated production cell?

A: Yes. All machine controls include standard I/O communication interfaces and fieldbus protocols to connect with third-party robotic loaders, centralized factory networks, and barcode scanners.
