Maximum flexibility with up to five spindles
End machining centres are frequently used for end machining of components such as round bars or tubes. They enable both single-sided and double-sided machining of workpiece ends. Typical machining operations include deburring, facing, milling, drilling, and tapping.
By using up to five spindles per side, several of these machining steps can be carried out in a single setup.
The horizontal spindle arrangement allows gravity to assist chip evacuation, improving tool life and process reliability—especially when machining deep pockets or holes—and resulting in cleaner surface finishes. Chips fall directly downwards rather than becoming trapped in the cutting zone. This prevents chips from being cut again and improves surface quality.
In addition to single-sided machining, simultaneous machining of both workpiece ends is also possible:
- In single-sided end machining, the workpiece is processed in two consecutive steps. First, one side is completed; then a rotary indexing table automatically turns the workpiece by 180°, allowing the opposite end to be machined in the next step.
- On our double-end machining centres, however, both ends of the workpiece are machined simultaneously. This parallel processing enables particularly short cycle times and high productivity.
Complete machining in a single setup increases efficiency and reduces setup and auxiliary times.
Benefits
- Reduced cycle times
- Simultaneous machining of both ends
- Double-end machining allows for different operations to be performed simultaneously
- Short changeover times
- Excellent accessibility and ease of use
