Is a multi-spindle head the same as a multi-spindle machine?
A head distributes drive to several tool spindles. A complete machine also provides the supporting structure, feed motion, controls, workholding and the agreed handling equipment. State whether you need a head for an existing machine or a matched machine configuration so the quotation can define the boundary.
Can I order a head separately?
Include “head-only inquiry” and your existing machine details in your request. BINSING needs to confirm whether a suitable component can be supplied for that interface and process, or whether a matched machine arrangement should be reviewed. A head shown in a photograph does not establish a stocked, universally compatible attachment.
What is the minimum spindle center distance?
It depends on the head design, spindle and holder envelopes, tools and required hole pattern. Send the smallest center distance together with the full coordinate drawing and tool information. A single spacing dimension does not establish that every spindle position is reachable.
Can one head drill and tap?
The complete drive, feed, tooling and process must be reviewed for the requested operation. Tapping requires pitch-related axial movement and reversal or another agreed withdrawal method; drilling compatibility alone does not establish tapping compatibility. If you need both operations, include the sequence and prepared-hole details.
How is the multi-spindle head price determined?
A useful quotation identifies the pattern, spindle arrangement, input interface, tool holders, mounting and support parts, and any machine integration work. Request an itemized scope so a head-component price can be compared with another component offer, and a complete-machine price with another complete system.
