The new, modular assembled Schutte multi-spindle automatics are designed to produce complex as well as simple work pieces economically. "The new SCX-series of multi-spindle automatics can do everything that is possible with a 3-axis machining center," said Dr. Albert Herrscher, an executive at Alfred H. Schutte GmbH + Co. KG. The SCX-series' principle feature is the ability to optimize the backworking process, the company said. "Rear side machining has always been an obstacle with regards to fast cycle times. Very often, it is the controlling part of the cycle time, that is, until now," said James Trunk, President and CEO of Schutte USA. Complete backworking and cross machining operations are done in positions eight and nine. This is done without unclamping the workpiece and with the same speed and flexibility as front side machining. Trunk claims that this model will change the industry with its flexibility and will offer a solution to anyone needing to machine precision parts, even if they are not a traditional multi user. The SCX machine is designed to use the same tool holders in all positions front and rear. All tools can be driven and offer coolant thru-standard. All spindles are independently driven. The spindle drum is continuous indexing even in reverse mode, and the spindle speed is adjustable during indexing. All drives, cables and hoses are outside of the machining area.
