An Unmatched Growth Driver
For the right type of part, an INDEX CNC multi-spindle offers one of the clearest and most proven opportunities for growth that you’ll encounter. Consider the following questions about your part:
-
Can you hold it in one hand?
-
Do you produce it in lots of 1,000 or more?
-
Is it of medium-to-high complexity?
-
Does at least 60% of the machining take place on one end?
If you answered yes to all four, a discussion with our team may be the most impactful action you take this year.
Increase Capacity
Depending on part complexity, a CNC multi-spindle will produce 4x – 6x as many parts as a Swiss-type lathe or dual-spindle turning center. Advancements in recent years enable a diverse array of specialized processes, while design improvements have shrunk setup and changeover times. A properly utilized CNC multi-spindle will produce more parts than any other machine you own.
Increase Labor Efficiency
Boosting capacity translates directly into more efficient use of labor hours. For shops that assign an operator to every two machines, a single team member on CNC multi-spindles can often produce as many parts as five or six assigned to Swiss-type lathes. They’re an ideal solution if the skilled labor shortage has throttled your growth.
Increase Revenue per Square Foot
Similarly, producing dramatically more parts per machine has an immediate impact on your use of floor space. When your production area has reached its limit and there’s no space left for additional equipment, replacing a traditional machine with a CNC multi-spindle allows for immediate growth without requiring a costly facility expansion or move.
Increase Reliability
While the incredible productivity of CNC multi-spindles draws a lot of attention, it’s important to also realize that the design of our spindle drum, tool slides and machine body result in extremely stable, accurate and reliable performance. When you run a job on one of these machines, your scrap rate will approach or hit zero.
