MSC 5 DUO: Front-loading CNC lathe for maximum productivity

The MSC 5 DUO is a two-spindle CNC lathe that has been specially designed to meet the requirements of modern batch production. Thanks to the innovative split-bed design, powerful spindle units and an integrated 3-axis gantry loading system, the lathe sets new standards in terms of productivity, precision and process reliability.

High-productivity twin-spindle lathe for automated batch production

Main advantages of the MSC 5 DUO lathe

  • High productivity levels enabled by simultaneous machining on both spindles
  • Reduced non-productive times due to the integrated 3-axis gantry loading system
  • Maximum precision achieved through the split-bed design and thermally stabilized spindles
  • Compact design for space-saving integration into existing production lines
  • High process reliability ensured by the intelligent coolant system and spindle monitoring
  • Easy servicing with easily accessible service components and clear fault diagnostics

The basis for the excellent machining results is the innovative split-bed design of the machine base. This sophisticated design mechanically decouples the two work areas from each other and, thus, prevents the transmission of vibrations during simultaneous machining. This ensures constant dimensional accuracy on both spindles, even during demanding machining processes.

Main Features of the Machine:

Powerful spindle units of the MSC 5 DUO lathe with A2-5 spindle nose, thermally optimized bearings and belt drive for constant torque in the range of 1,125-4,500 rpm.
The thermally optimized spindle bearing with precision bearings ensures maximum concentricity - with 4,500 rpm and 7.5 kW peak power for demanding machining tasks.

Powerful spindles for a wide range of applications

The main spindles of the MSC 5 DUO have been designed for a wide range of applications:

  • Maximum speed of 4,500 rpm for dynamic machining processes
  • Spindle power of 5.5 kW in continuous operation or 7.5 kW for up to 30 minutes (optional: 7.5 kW / 11 kW)
  • A2-5 Spindle nose for holding various chucks up to 210 mm (8 inch) diameter
  • Constant torque in the speed range of 1,125-4,500 rpm for consistent cutting performance

An intelligent cooling concept with active temperature monitoring ensures constant machining conditions even in continuous operation.

Precision servo-controlled turret of the MSC 5 DUO with BMT interface, which can accommodate drilling tools up to 40 mm in diameter and external turning tools with a 25 x 25 mm shank.
Highly dynamic BMT turret with 8 (optionally 12) stations for fast tool changes and maximum process flexibility.

Highly dynamic turret with servo drive

Two servo-controlled turrets form the heart of the MSC 5 DUO:

  • 8 standard tool positions (optionally expandable to 12)
  • BMT tool interface for high rigidity
  • Holds drilling tools up to 40 mm in diameter for internal machining
  • Tools with shank 25 x 25 mm for external machining
  • Highly dynamic indexing for short tool change times
  • Hydraulic clamping for precision positioning

Sophisticated coolant concept for optimum machining results
The cooling lubricant management system was specifically designed to meet the requirements of batch production:
1. Multiple, specifically aligned coolant nozzles for effective cooling in the cutting area
2. Optimized flushing effect for reliable chip removal even with difficult materials
3. Targeted coolant supply for long tool life and high surface quality

Efficient gantry loading system for minimum non-productive time

Integrated 3-axis gantry loading system

The 3-axis gantry loading system, which is fully integrated into the machine control system, automatically loads and unloads the workpieces:

  • Fast loading/unloading times
  • Precision parts transfer thanks to servomotor-driven axes
  • Integrated part turner for complete machining from two sides
  • Flexibly configurable workpiece pallets for different workpiece geometries
  • Automatic workpiece feed and removal for low-manpower production

Compact stacking storage system

The stacking system (stacker) for raw and finished parts integrated into the machine saves valuable space and enables automation without additional footprint. The flexible pallet system can be adapted to different workpiece diameters.

Compact stacking storage system for raw and finished parts, which enables low-manned production with long runtimes.

Simple servicing for minimal downtime

When designing the MSC 5 DUO lathe, special emphasis was placed on easy servicing:

  1. Easily accessible service components for quick maintenance
  2. Ergonomic tool change from the front
  3. Clear fault diagnosis of the control unit for fast troubleshooting
  4. Direct access to the workpiece gripper system
  5. Large work area door for changing tools and retooling components

These well-thought-out details reduce downtimes for maintenance work to a minimum and contribute to the high availability of the machine.

Optimal areas of application for the MSC 5 DUO 

The MSC 5 DUO is particularly suitable for:

  • Automotive components (planetary gears, bevel gears, pinions)
  • Hydraulic components (sleeves, flanges)
  • Pneumatic components
  • Medical technology
  • General turned parts in medium to large batch production
