INDEX TRAUB C100 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The INDEX TRAUB C100 is a sophisticated dual-spindle CNC turning center engineered for high-precision, multi-axis machining of complex components. Featuring two main spindles with 4.3-inch chuck diameter capacity and 1.65-inch maximum bar diameter, each spindle delivers 33.50 HP at 7,000 RPM, enabling rapid material removal and extended production capabilities. The machine accommodates up to 42 cutting tools distributed across three turrets—two primary turrets with 14 turning and 14 rotary tools each, plus rotary accessories operating at 8,000 RPM with 5.6 HP—allowing simultaneous three-tool engagement for optimized cycle times. Its 8-axis control architecture includes synchronized X, Y, and Z linear axes with rapid traverses of 1,180 IPM and 15.75-inch Z-axis travel, complemented by C-axis spindle orientation for advanced mill-turn capabilities. The machine integrates simultaneous turning operations on both spindles with secondary milling and drilling functions both on-center and off-center, supported by full Y-axis workpiece carrier positioning. With 42mm spindle clearance and 515mm turning length capacity, the C100 accommodates bar stock and component production from small to medium lot sizes. Modern control options include Siemens S840D SL or Fanuc 31i-B systems with integrated i4.0 ready interfaces, delivering economic and precise solutions for complex CNC turning applications while maintaining superior vibration damping and repeatability.
