In order to be able to reproduce all processing steps of complex workpieces with standard motor spindles, several machines are often required. As a result, time and accuracy are lost due to time-consuming reclamping. A spindle row turret offers a more flexible solution for multi-spindle parallel machining of complex workpieces.
