VH-5C
Multi-Spindle 5C Indexers
COLLET SIZE | MAX TORQUE
5C 88 ft-lb
Note: Motor cover size and shape varies with motor type.
Increase efficiency and production capacity of your CNC machine with one of our Multi-head VH-5Cs. Available in two, three or four-head configurations, a multi head is perfect for making multiple small parts in one set-up. Multi Heads keeps your machine spindle running by reducing the number of tool changes and requiring less frequent operator intervention.
The standard configuration places the motor at the side or we also offer the option to wrap the motor around the back to save space, reduce overall length and eliminate possible machine interferences.
For collet closing capability, the Multi Heads require our air collet closers. Each head also has a 2-3/16" threaded spindle nose if you want to thread on your own fixture or chuck adding further versatility.

SINGLE-AXIS PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER
​
Don't need true 4th-axis? Just need point-to-point indexing? A cost-efficient solution for any CNC machine that is not 4th-axis-ready. This single-axis, programmable control box will add indexing or semi-4th-axis capability to any machine. It can be easily interfaced using a spare M-code from your CNC machine. Indexing position moves to practically any angle are programmed directly through the front panel of the control box and are triggered by an M-code, or utilize the control box's DNC function to run a complete machine program file from a USB key.
