SHIMADA
MULTI-SPINDLE CNC LATHES:

The Latest Solutions for Total Productivity from Shimada-Japan's Leading Multi-Spindle Specialist

  • After designing and producing Asia’s first 6 spindle Automatic, Shimada has become Japan’s leading manufacturer of cam-less CNC 6 & 8 Spindle Automatics and 2-Spindle Indexers.

  • The Automatics can be configured with up to two CNC slides, bar-loaders capable of feeding up to 32mm stock, and numerous optional and customized features which can further reduce the cycle times of so many of today’s large quantity runs.

  • By combining the accuracy of CNC and the ease of the cam-less operation, part set-up can usually be accomplished in less than three hours.

  • The 2-Spindle Indexer offers the “load while machining” capability on a CNC lathe with 10” chucks, a geared headstock, and a robust, milling optional, twelve station turret.

2SI SERIES:

2SI-6, 2SI-8 & 2SI-10

The 2SI Series uniquely connects two spindles, one turret, and a Fanuc controller into a highly productive, cost effective machine tool package. 

​

Each model provides an easily customized machining platform which combines the advantages of multiple spindle productivit with the accuracy, flexibility and the simple set-up routines of a CNC lathe.

The Shimada 2SI-6 / 2SI-8 / 2SI-10 2-Spindle 1NC Lathe was developed from the architecture of “reducing idle time to the utmost limit."

  • Collet chuck, 6", 8", 10", 12" chucks

  • Loading with one spindle while processing with the other. Chip to Chip time “2 seconds.” Spindle index time “0.9 seconds.”

  • This design, with the chucking position outside the machine, leads to easy manual loading/unloading and chuck exchange

  • Simultaneous processing of the front and back side of workpieces with one machine

 

This lathe is optimal for the following types of work:

  • Tasks that need a short cycle time and a long loading time

  • Tasks with a short cycle time (work with a large loading time to cycle time ratio)

  • Tasks with a big difference between the 1st and 2nd process cycle times

  • Tasks that requires a large amount of time for chucking under manual loading condition
