AI Description

Capabilities

The INDEX B60 is a cam-controlled automatic lathe designed for high-volume production of precision metal parts. With a 60mm bar capacity, 6-station turret, and 4 radial cross slides, it handles turning, threading, and finishing operations in a single setup. The mechanical cam control system manages all movements automatically, making it ideal for repeat orders where the same part is manufactured thousands of times.

Industries & Uses

Small to mid-sized job shops, automotive suppliers, and medical device manufacturers rely on machines like this to produce shafts, bushings, connectors, and other turned components efficiently. It's particularly valuable for businesses that need consistent quality at high volumes without investing in modern CNC equipment. The integrated coolant system and chip management keep operations clean and reduce tool wear.

What to Check When Buying

When evaluating this used lathe, inspect the cam followers and turret indexing mechanism for wear—these are high-stress components in older automatic lathes. Request maintenance records and ask about the last time cams were replaced or refurbished. Check that all cross slides move smoothly and hold zero, as worn gibs affect accuracy. Verify the bar feeder operates reliably. Have a technician confirm the coolant system is functional and that hoses aren't degraded. Test-run the machine with sample material before committing to purchase.
