INDEX CenterMaster accessory centre-aligns drills on CNC multi-spindle machines

INDEX has launched the CenterMaster accessory to streamline the setup and changeover process for CNC multispindle lathes. According to the company, it reduces the time needed to align a drill by up to 90 per cent.
Previously, centre alignment of a drill required specialized knowledge by the operator and was a manual process that could take up to 30 minutes per holder. With this accessory, the user simply clamps a radio dial gauge into the workspace and sets it to the quill. The gauge and machine wirelessly communicate, automatically adjusting the holder along the X axis. The system then guides the operator through adjusting the Y axis via the machine’s touch screen display.
It allows operators with no specialized knowledge or experience to set up a drill in two to three minutes.
It provides a repeatable accuracy of less than 5 μm.
