Wedonay.com Report on Mar 7th, The German INDEX Group will showcase its range of advanced machine tools in China, including turning centers and turn-mill centers.
With a history spanning over 110 years, the INDEX Group encompasses the INDEX and TRAUB brands, offering CNC lathes, multi-axis multi-function machines, Swiss-type automatic lathes, and turn-mill centers, supported by comprehensive services. The group's technological strength lies in integrating various machining processes, such as multi-tool simultaneous turning, high-speed whirlwind milling, grinding, and in-process measurement. Through continuous improvement, it achieves complete machining of complex parts in a single setup, enhancing efficiency and precision.
In 2026, INDEX plans to deepen the integration of global technology with local services, strengthening its customer-oriented philosophy. Beyond high-performance machine tools, the group incorporates automation and digitalization technologies into its solutions, enhancing rapid delivery and response capabilities. It supports customers in process development and prototype validation to facilitate quick production ramp-up and efficient machining.
The INDEX C200 turning center is suitable for high-speed bar turning. It features two electric spindles and a rapid-moving sub-spindle. Its flexible turret configuration makes it ideal for multi-variety, small-batch production. The vertical bed design ensures smooth chip removal, while the flat guideway technology improves dynamic performance and vibration absorption, extending tool life and shortening production cycles.
The INDEX G220 turn-mill center is designed for complex workpieces. It utilizes a polymer concrete bed and large-size linear guides. Three slides and up to 169 tool positions provide high flexibility. The spacious machining area allows three tools to operate simultaneously without collision risk, making it suitable for efficient handling of small to medium-sized workpieces.
The INDEX G200 turn-mill center is equipped with two spindles and three turrets with Y-axis. The upper turret integrates a milling spindle and B-axis, combining the efficiency of an automatic lathe with the flexibility of milling. The optimized layout ensures process reliability, and 43 tool positions minimize production interruptions. Hydrostatic bearing technology supports high-precision machining, improving workpiece quality.
