No. Of Tools Used: 21 (still more tool stations unused)
Barfeed: CAV 20E with approximately 8 min. channel change time

Notes: The L20e-X shown is a protype due to be available next Spring. The gang slide tooling is the same as the L20e-IX we are currently shipping. The primary difference is the type X also has a Y axis on the sub-spindle side. This Y2 axis enables two (2) rows of front ID tools two (2) rows of backworking tools.
For starters we can offer (6) front working ID and (8) backworking ID tools mounted. As we always utilize the modular concept there are optional live tools to enable cross milling/drilling from the T20’s or T30’s. With these tool holders we can pinch mill off the GB side or Pinch cross drill, and with superimposition we can cut different features simultaneously while superimposed.
