Technical Highlights of Our Spindles for Metalworking
The modular design of our systems allows maximum flexibility when integrating them into your machine, as they are compatible with control units from various manufacturers. Every component is manufactured to the highest quality standards and tailored to customer-specific installation dimensions:
- tool interfaces: We support all common standards, including HSK-A, HSK-E, SK, Capto EX and BT.
- cooling systems: Efficient water, oil or external air cooling minimises thermal expansion.
- intelligent sensor technology: Integrated temperature and vibration sensors enable continuous monitoring.
- bearing technology: Depending on requirements, you can choose between robust steel bearings or high-precision hybrid bearings for your milling spindles.
Additional options:
- bearing lubrication: permanent grease or oil-air lubrication
- high-resolution speed and position sensor
- monitoring and data acquisition system “Data Logger”
- manual or automatic tool clamping system
- shaft cooling
- compatibility with control units from various manufacturers
Which types of spindles are suitable for metalworking?
Selecting the correct design is crucial for process stability. Depending on the machine type and machining strategy, different concepts are used:
- belt-driven spindles: These separate the motor from the spindle shaft, which improves thermal decoupling, and are often used in applications with very high torque in the lower speed range.
- gear-driven spindles: Designed to transmit enormous forces at low speeds, these spindles are ideal for heavy-duty machining of steel or titanium.
- high-speed spindles: These are specialised units for HSC milling (High Speed Cutting), where speeds of up to 100,000 rpm are required.
- motor spindles: These units combine motor and shaft compactly within a single housing. They are now the technological standard for spindles for metalworking as they offer maximum dynamics.
The milling spindle for metal as the heart of versatile machining processes
To meet the diverse technological requirements of the industry, we offer optimised drive concepts. The milling spindle for metal is particularly in demand, as it combines maximum versatility with impressive pulling power. A milling spindle for metal differs from other spindles primarily in its ability to absorb extreme radial forces that arise when plunging sideways into the material.
What Are the Advantages of CNC Spindles for Metal?
The use of modern CNC-controlled spindles for metalworking offers significant advantages in terms of automation and accuracy:
- precise speed control: Electronics adjust the cutting speed exactly to the material, which maximises surface quality.
- automatic tool change: Interfaces such as HSK or SK allow tool changes within seconds.
- thermal stability: Integrated sensors compensate for longitudinal expansion via software.
- longer tool life: Smooth running protects the cutting edges of your tools.
- condition monitoring: Modern systems detect bearing damage or imbalances at an early stage.
Where are spindles for metalworking used?
Our spindle technology is used worldwide in high-tech industries. In metalworking, high-performance milling spindles are essential for excellent results in sectors including:
- automotive industry: serial production of engine block components and transmission parts
- aerospace industry: machining difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium or Inconel
- tool and mould making: where mirror-smooth surfaces are required in high-speed applications
