In machining centers employed on production lines, it is important to obtain maximum speed from the machine without sacrificing accuracy. One of the limiting components for both of these parameters is ...

Vacrodur is an innovative rolling bearing material developed by Schaeffler that allows machine tool manufacturers to significantly increase the load carrying capacity of spindles and greatly extend ...

For converting rotational movements into linear travel, the GP 22 S and GP 32 S modular spindle drives promise to take a slice out of the associated development costs. Adjusted for spindles, the ...

Modern machine tools continue to make technical advances, thanks in large part to ongoing improvements and fine-tuning in computer numerical control (CNC) machining. Over the past 60 years or so, CNC ...

Spindles are machinery subsystems that integrate shafts, bearings, and power-transmission components such as belts and ballscrews, motors, and in some cases, drives and controls to output axial ...

The new eight-spindle ZPS 867 CNC multi-spindle multifunction production center will accommodate stock up to 72 mm diameter. It’s driven by a double Siemens 840 D CNC, and offers up to 72 CNC axes for ...
