The Galaxie® gearbox revolutionizes the turret in the new INDEX ABC CNC turning machine

In terms of the machine concept, working space, footprint, cycle times and cutting quality, the enhanced INDEX ABC has all the performance features of the previous version – more than 3,000 units of which have been sold. However, the new upper turret has now been revolutionized as a result of Galaxie®. It is the reason why the CNC turning machine offers versatile new machining options and thus massively expands the range of machinable parts. This leap in performance was made possible because the INDEX engineers, in collaboration with the experts from WITTENSTEIN galaxie, succeeded in replacing the previous turret technology of rigid Hirth coupling and hydraulic clamping device with a single high-performance gearbox: the compact Galaxie® GS 190 from the new Galaxie® accuracy line with an optimized, integrated bearing concept for the best possible rest values.

THE GALAXIE® GS 190 OPENS UP NEW MACHINING OPTIONS

The new turret technology with the Galaxie® gearbox offers end customers added value in the form of improved cycle times and higher productivity.
