Efficiency leap with multi-spindle systems: Machine three workpieces in one setup using 5-axis machining

Maximising throughput per square metre of production space is one of the key performance indicators in modern factory planning. pL LEHMANN two-spindle CNC rotary tables, such as the T3-507510.LR fix, enable the simultaneous machining of up to three workpieces in a single 5-axis clamping. This concept is particularly effective for component families, such as those often found in the lock and hardware industry, as well as the automotive industry.

Parallel machining drastically reduces idle times, particularly tool change times, per workpiece, as a single tool change allows for production on three components simultaneously. In combination with automated clamping devices and robotic loading, this creates highly productive manufacturing cells that achieve the output of an entire machine line within the footprint of a standard machining centre. The high mechanical rigidity of pL LEHMANN systems ensures that no loss of accuracy occurs, even under asymmetrical loads or with high feed rates.
