Three models of the Cincom L20 series are available - L20 VIII / L20 X / L20 XII – and are all modular in design. Ranging from a 5-axis machine to a high-end machine equipped with B-axis and back spindle Y-axis, users can select the machine according to the functions needed.
The control system realizes fast and smooth operation, reducing idle time, and achieving faster rapid feed together with substantial shortening of cycle time.
Independent opposite and gang tool posts are provided. In front machining, idle time has been eliminated as the tool post to be used next starts preparation for machining without waiting for the other one to complete its retraction.
The machine’s direct spindle indexing function reduces spindle indexing time by allowing the spindle to be decelerated and stopped at the required index position by specifying this position with a C-axis command while the spindle is rotating, eliminating the idle time up until rotation stops.
The machines are available with low frequency vibration cutting – LFV technology – for machining while vibrating the S and Z servo axes in the cutting direction in synchrony with the spindle rotation. This reduces various problems caused by chips entangling with the product or tool, and is effective for small-diameter deep hole machining as well as machining difficult-to-cut materials.
