Index B500

Powerful and precise machining of customized flange and shaft parts, as required with rear-end machining and automation – this is what is promised by the “group of four” universal turning machines: the INDEX B400 and TRAUB TNA400, launched in 2018, together with the new INDEX B500 and the TRAUB TNA500. The four machine types all have a great deal in common. They use the same machine bed, the same cover, and the
15 same inner cover. The slide system is also identical on all four.
