Hydromat EPIC II Indexing Chuck Rotary Transfer Machine image

The EPIC II Indexing Chuck machine combines precision chucks with the indexing accuracy and reliability of the Hirth ring.

Available in 12 or 16 station models, the indexing chuck machine is fully integrated into the Hydromat program, so the same modular components used with Hydromat’s popular EPIC R/T models are compatible with the EPIC  Indexing Chuck models.

This system is ideal for the mid to high-volume, precision production of irregular-shaped castings or forgings and is designed with the flexibility to easily accommodate families of parts.
