Index Corp. G220 turn-mill is said to incorporate and refine the design principles introduced via the larger G320, G420 and G520 machines. With dual spindles, two tool turrets, a five-axis milling spindle and high-capacity tool magazine, the machine is said to produce a wide variety of parts in a single setup.

The design concept of Index’s G Series machines begins with a rigid, vibration damping machine bed in a mineral cast block design. Each machine in the series is said to combine optimal stability and damping properties with high dynamics and generously dimensioned linear guides in the X and Z axes.

The G220’s milling spindle offers a hydrodynamically mounted Y/B axis arranged above the axis of rotation. Each of the machine’s turrets provides movement along the X, Y and Z axes, and each of the turrets’ stations can be equipped with live tooling.

Additionally, the G220’s large workspace and internal layout is said to enable simultaneous machining with the milling spindle and both turrets. Index says these combined features enable incredible flexibility to cut varied part features and geometries with extremely high efficiency.
