Schutte has introduced its SCX-32 multi-spindle automatics machining center, the first member of a new generation of multi-spindle automatics. The series SCX realises in full, and for the first time, the vision of the “Multi single-spindle automatic” that provides access to a variety of machining processes as part of a highly productive machine concept that makes resetting easy and operation simple.

The machine’s spindle drum indexes continuously, without the help of mobile cabling, and with slip ring contacts reduced to a minimum. Fluid-cooled spindles ensure a high degree of thermal stability in the spindle drum, the heart of the multi-spindle automatic.

Main applications:
Complete-machining of complex precision components, including extensive second side machining
The economic manufacture of small and medium-size component batches, made possible by the easy resetting of attachments and tools
Workpieces requiring the application of different machining technologies, such as milling, deep-hole and cross drilling, polygon turning, threading and profiling operations
Production in a flexible manufacturing environment, made possible by the fact that functions can be added and attachments retrofitted.
