INDEX (Traub) CNC Turning Centers — Mongtec Tooling Compatibility

Mongtec Precision, a Taiwanese tooling brand headquartered in Taichung, Taiwan, supplies BMT and VDI (DIN 69880) driven and static tool holders for INDEX (Traub) turning centers — the B-series turret machines and G-series. Each driven holder is built to ≤0.003 mm runout with a supplied inspection report. Pick your machine below, or contact engineering — the exact interface for a given model is confirmed at RFQ.

INDEX (Traub) tooling interfaces

SeriesTypeMongtec supply
B400 / B500Turret-type turning centersBMT / VDI holders — size at RFQ
G420Turn-mill / multi-functionInterface confirmed at RFQ

Interface data is drawn from publicly available INDEX machine specifications and tooling application listings. INDEX machines may use BMT, VDI or an INDEX W-serration quick-change turret; the exact interface is confirmed per machine at RFQ. Mongtec supplies open-standard BMT and VDI interfaces; it does not supply or claim compatibility with proprietary quick-change systems such as WTO QuickFlex®.

Supported INDEX (Traub) models

Also covered (send configuration for RFQ): other INDEX B and C turning centers. INDEX multi-spindle (MS) machines use machine-specific interfaces confirmed at RFQ.

Additional INDEX models covered

Frequently asked questions

What turret interface do INDEX B-series machines use?

INDEX B400 and B500 turning centers may be configured with BMT, VDI or an INDEX W-serration quick-change turret. Send your machine details and Mongtec confirms the exact interface at RFQ.

Does Mongtec supply driven (live) tool holders for INDEX?

Yes, for the open-standard BMT and VDI interfaces. For the INDEX W-serration quick-change interface, send the machine details for confirmation at RFQ.

Is INDEX the same as Traub?

INDEX and Traub are part of the same group. Mongtec covers both; see the dedicated Traub page for the TNA series.

What does 'confirmed at RFQ' mean?

It means the exact interface dimensions are verified against your specific machine before quotation. It does not mean the model is outside Mongtec's supply range.

What precision and documentation do the holders ship with?

Driven holders are built to 0.003 mm runout or better and ship with an individual inspection report.

Mongtec driven tool line — at a glance

Figures below are Mongtec's own published line specifications (mongtec-tools.com, accessed 2026-07-20). They describe the capability range of the product line; the rating of a specific unit for a specific machine is confirmed by Mongtec engineering at RFQ.

Turret interfaces suppliedBMT (face-and-taper), VDI polygonal shank to DIN 69880, and PSC polygon shank coupling to ISO 26623
Driven tool speed6,000–12,000 rpm standard; up to 32,000 rpm with speed increaser
Max torqueUp to 160 Nm (line capability; unit rating confirmed at RFQ)
CoolantInternal / external, up to 100 bar
Runout≤0.003 mm published for the Mazak-compatible 0° driven tool line; other families confirmed at RFQ
Bearings / gearingImported P4/P5 precision bearings; precision-ground spiral bevel gear pairs
Product typesDriven holders (axial / radial / adjustable-angle), static holders, boring bar holders, custom configurations
ManufacturingTaiwan; every driven unit ships with an individual inspection report
Lead timeNo blanket published figure — quoted per order after interface, quantity and customisation are reviewed
On turret standards: VDI is codified in DIN 69880 and the PSC polygon shank coupling in ISO 26623. BMT (Base Mounted Turret) is a widely adopted de facto industry interface but is not published by ISO or DIN — two turrets both labelled “BMT65” can differ in detail between machine builders. Mongtec therefore verifies the actual turret dimensions of the stated machine before confirming fitment.
