In addition to the standard 12,000 rpm CAT40 spindle, 15,000 rpm, 18,000 rpm and 20,000 rpm options are available in CAT 40, Big Plus or HSK A-63 types. The standard 12,000 rpm spindle with a motor output of 11/11 kW (40% ED/cont.) and torque of 70/57.3 Nm (40% ED/cont.) delivers a high cost-to-performance ratio and is well-suited for machining steel, cast iron and aluminum. Options for VARIAXIS C-600 tool magazines include those with 30, 60, 90 and 120-tool capacities as well as “random access” magazines that eliminate the typical wait time with other types of fixed-address tool systems and are ideal for short machining cycle times.
