They offer very short cycle times. The two overhead slides are separate units. The two slides and spindles feature separate X- and Z-axis drives and separate measuring systems with linear scales in all axes. This allows the TWIN to correct diameter and length deviations for each spindle individually - a precondition for the precision demanded in todays production environment. The advantages of the VSC TWINEvery machine is a manufacturing cell that utilizes the pick-up spindle to load itself Extremely short loading and unloading travels Multi-functional production aid: turning, drilling, milling, grinding, gear cutting, laser application and other processes The workpiece travels, the tooling systems remain stationary, offering ideal chip flow conditions, as the tools are located below the workpiece (also ideal for dry machining) The hydro-static bearings of the work spindle in Z-axis guarantee outstanding component quality and an extended tool life for soft and hard machining All machine assemblies with a bearing on accuracy are fluid-cooled Safe, no-wear, maintenance-free machining area envelope
