The CNC machine tool that NEVER opens its doors | INDEX Germany Factory Tour
By Tony Gunn
What lengths would you go to ensure machine accuracy down to an incredible 2-micron level? What if that involved a CNC machine that NEVER opens its doors? Welcome to this MTDCNC video where we take you inside the walls of INDEX Germany.
Tony Gunn from MTDCNC gets a look inside INDEX’s factory with Dennis Ihle. We delve into the rigorous internal processes that INDEX employs when creating critical components for their machines. The focus here isn’t just on thermal stability; it’s on an obsessive attention to detail.
Beyond the slide assemblies, we discuss INDEX’s in-house heat treatment and coatings. These crucial steps contribute to longer machine life and consequently lower costs, a major plus for production planners and operations managers.
