Two spindle slitting lathes usually belong to machine tools with at least four axes. Specifically, double-spindle slitter lathes can be configured with different shaft number configurations such as three, four or five axes to suit different machining needs.
Three-axis configuration:
The slitting lathe is equipped with three-axis drilling function, which can complete the drilling and tapping of the shaft end of the parts, only the spindle, no back shaft.
Four-axis configuration:
The double spindle slitting lathe is equipped with four-axis drilling function, which can complete the drilling and tapping of the shaft end of the part, and the side can be drilled, tapped and milled.
Five-axis configuration:
The double-spindle CNC longitudinal cutting lathe can also be configured as a five-axis linkage, with higher machining accuracy and efficiency, and can complete more complex machining tasks.
Six-axis configuration:
High-end two-spindle slitting lathes are even configured with six axes, such as the 266 model, with greater machining capabilities and higher levels of automation.
To sum up, two-spindle slitting lathes are configured with at least 4 axes, depending on the machine model and the manufacturer's design. When choosing a dual spindle machine, the appropriate shaft number configuration should be selected according to the specific processing needs and budget.
