MS22
Front open multi spindle machine for bar turned parts
Insights into the MS22
- Front-opening machine for bar machining
- Freely accessible and thus extremely user-friendly
- Highly-dynamic slides with sliding guide (X-axis)
- Non-wearing Z-axis due to quills with hydrostatic support
- Rear-end machining with synchronized spindle
- 6 tools maximum for backworking

“Apart from keeping down overheads, the Index multi has delivered other advantages. The machine is more rigidly built than our single-spindle lathes, so vibration is minimised, leading to better accuracy and surface finish and much longer tool life.”
– Mark Bevan, Managing Director
MS22 results in a five-fold productivity increase
An MS22 in operation at MJB Precision Engineering can turn-mill in 24 seconds a component that takes a sliding-head lathe 120 seconds to complete.
