Boosting Machine Spindle Speed For Micromachining Applications

Small-diameter micromachining tools require very high rpm for sufficient cutting speed and material removal rates. This air spindle provides 80,000 rpm and an untethered compressed air interface to allow automatic changeovers using the machine's ATC.

Engineering The Toolholder Assembly Process

This assembly and mounting device for V-flange toolholders is designed to make it easier and safer to put toolholders, collets and cutting tools together. The device allows the toolholder to be clamped securely and rotated so that both ends of the assembly are accessible to the user in a comfortable position.

Milling Adaptor: Reach Without Reluctance

An alternative to conventional extended-reach toolholders, milling adaptors contain a custom damping mechanism to minimize vibration when milling long overhangs.

Hard Milling With Tandem Toolholding

A combination of toolholding choices lets this die shop get the most performance from its small-diameter tools.

Toolholders Provide Coolant-Thru Capability

Toward More Seamless MQL

One of the small perils of a new technology is that it often involves new steps or new considerations that present special opportunities for error. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a technology that exemplifies this point.
