the Air Power Spindle into the market to provide solutions to the endless
challenges of micro machining with ultra high speed and precision, the company
said.
"Air Power Spindle offers maximum spindle speeds of 80,000 RPM," said a company spokesperson. "Air Power Spindle is an air-driven tool that can be used on existing machining centers to provide dramatic enhancements to surface finish quality, extend tool life, and reduce wear on high-speed spindles. Used as an additional spindle on a normal machining center, Air Power Spindle eliminates the need for an expensive, high-speed machine.
"The new product minimizes thermal displacement in the Z-axis for top precision. When compared with a standard machining center spindle with up to .012mm of displacement, Air Power Spindle remains constant at less than .001mm.
"Combined with the high-accuracy Mega Micro collet chuck series, Air Power Spindle delivers exceptional dynamic run-out accuracy of less than .002mm, even at 80,000 RPM. The spindle produces very low vibration by perfect dynamic balance and low noise design (less than 65 dB). Air Power Spindle is available in many dual contact spindle types, including BIG PLUS CAT, BIG PLUS BT and HSK."
