The Index R200 is a next-generation precision machining center combining lathe and milling functions in a single machine. It delivers maximum accuracy, speed, and process automation – an ideal solution for industries that prioritize intelligent manufacturing and 5-axis machining.
1. Where the Machine Ends and Intelligence Begins
In the world of industrial precision, there are machines that simply work—and others that change the way we think about machining.
The Index R200 falls into the latter category. It's a machining center that not only executes commands but also learns the process, analyzes data, and reacts faster than a human. Its mission isn't just to produce—it manages precision in ways that until recently seemed impossible.
This isn't just an ordinary industrial machine. It's the result of years of development in CNC automation technology, where every detail matters. With every movement of the main spindle, the Index R200 demonstrates that the line between machine and intelligent control system is practically blurring. It's thanks to solutions like these that metalworking has become not only faster but also more informed and predictable.
2. Modular Design – The Foundation of Precision
Control: Siemens Sinumerik
Number of Axes: 5
Tool Magazine (ATC): 80 Tools
Cooling: High-Pressure Coolant
Chip Conveyor: Yes
Refrigerator: Yes
Hydraulic Power Unit: Hydropower
Year of Manufacture: 2013
One of the key secrets to the Index R200's success is its modular design. It's not a rigid, single-purpose machine, but a system designed like engineering building blocks – modules can be configured to suit specific production needs. In practice, this means the same center can precisely machine aerospace parts, medical components, or automotive components without the need for costly redesign.
This modular design not only increases flexibility but also stability. Every component of the structure – from the frame to the main spindle – has been designed to maintain micron-level accuracy even during intensive 5-axis machining. This combination of strength and delicacy is why many operators compare the R200 to a "Swiss watch in a steel case."
3. A Milling Lathe That Can Do More
In the world of CNC, the lines between a lathe and a milling machine are increasingly blurred.
The Index R200 is a perfect example of this evolution – a milling lathe that can perform an entire operation in a single setup. This eliminates the need to transfer workpieces between machines, shortening cycle times, reducing errors, and significantly increasing repeatability. For production, this means one thing – more workpieces in less time, without compromising quality.
The machine allows for turning, milling, drilling, and even threading in a single process. Its compact design and ergonomic access give the operator full control over the workflow while also being supported by a modern control system. In practice, the Index R200 milling lathe is not just a tool – it's a way to reorganize work in a factory where accuracy, speed, and reliability are paramount.
4. CNC Automation in Practice
Automation in industry is no longer a luxury – it's a necessity.
That's why the Index R200 was designed for plants that prioritize unattended productivity. The machine can independently monitor tool load, temperature, and wear, and its control system dynamically adjusts operating parameters. This means the operator doesn't waste time on manual adjustments – instead of reacting, they simply monitor the process.
This is what modern CNC automation looks like: less physical intervention, more digital precision. In practice, this translates into higher efficiency, lower costs, and a significantly reduced risk of errors. One glance at the control screen is enough to see that the Index R200 machining center is a machine that thinks several steps ahead.
5. Tool Cooling and Perfect Stability
High precision isn't just about control – it's also about thermal stability.
That's why the R200 is equipped with an advanced tool cooling system that maintains a constant temperature even during long hours of operation.
This eliminates microscopic deformations and allows for micron-level accuracy during long production cycles. These solutions ensure that even during complex 5-axis machining, the machine maintains perfect repeatability. This technology combines mechanical precision with digital control, creating a system ready for 24/7 operation – without compromise.
6. Summary: A Future Already in Action
The Index R200 demonstrates how dramatically the world of metalworking can change when technology and engineering work hand in hand.
This machining center combines CNC automation, modular design, 5-axis machining, and tool cooling in one cohesive package. The result is more than just equipment – an intelligent production system capable of creating with micron-level precision and industrial efficiency.
Anyone who sees the Index R200 in action will understand that it's more than just a machine. This precision command center sets new standards in machining and shows that the future of industry has already begun – and its heart beats to the rhythm of CNC.
