MACHINING WITH MULTISPINDLE HEADS

Machining of an aluminum gearbox casing, on a special machine equipped with a multi-spindle head.

The multi-spindle head is equipped with 3 M7 taps, 3 M8 taps and 9 M10 taps. It machines the gearbox casing with the 15 taps simultaneously.

The power graph below is twenty complete machining cycles. Of these 20 cycles, there is one cycle corresponding to an M7 tap breakage at end of hole (red curve).
