Two heads are better than one
14th Feb 2017 | In News | By Michael Tyrrell
The new Multiplex W-200Y + GL-100 offers a step-change in performance, due to the combination of two spindles, two turrets and a super-fast gantry loader for maximum productivity.
The two spindles enable continuous simultaneous machining with automatic workpiece transfer from one spindle to the other – due to the ability of each headstock to move towards the centre of the machine in the Z-axis.
The use of twin spindles enables the Multiplex to reduce production lead-time, operators, programming and in-process materials – all making the manufacturing process significantly more cost-effective and competitive.
