Alfred H. Schütte presents the SCX-26, the first member of a new generation of multi-spindle automatic lathes. The SCX unites the proven characteristics of the classical multi-spindle automatic lathe such as speed, rigidity, reliability and productivity with the requirements to a modern numerical control machine regarding functionality, precision, flexibility, preparation friendliness and operability.

With the development of this new machine concept, for the first time the full extent of the vision of one „Multi-Single Spindle Automatic Lathe“ has been realized. With various processing options which in a high-productive machine concept are made accessible by good convertibility and simple operation.

The structure of machine and the processing units.

The machine basis forms a thermal symmetrically developed frame construction from torsion stiff castings. The spindle drum which is the heart of each multi-spindle centre lathe, is locked by a precisely manufactured three-part Hirth-type coupling which guarantee’s exact positioning and repeatability.

The work spindles are mounted as liquid-cooled motor spindles of which each one can be individually programmed as required. Thus the machine user has the possibility of selecting for each operation the optimal cutting speed and spindle RPM and all spindles can be individually stopped or programmed for C-Axis operations. This is obtained by utilising the concept of decentralised drive controllers thus enabling the spindle drum to rotate constantly though 360° without the need to reverse. The advantage of this technology being the avoidance of moving cables and the transmission of signals and media with a minimum amount of contact at the slip ring.

The new cross-axis structure with machining heads are used for the first time on multi-spindle automatic lathes. All cross-axis machining heads can be utilised for X, Z and Y axis operations.
