That's the future!
So much better and for universal use!

The picture shows the version without adapter for dust removal
Not suitable for KS3x1 and KS350

This machining unit is the most progressive and most universal in the market:

• Rotates around the Z-Axis
• 400W-Servomotor, torque max. 2 Nm
• Supervision of the speed
• Speed, rotation direction and angle freely programmable
• Universal use - A particularly low-noise spindle for drilling, milling, engraving....cutting threads, as tangential cutter, .....
• Speed range 0,x .... 15.000 rpm
• Collet 3 or 3,17 mm (low security level) to 10mm (industry)
• Sound level (without machining): < 50 dB .... < 70 dB
• High load/stress (only together with KS3x2 - package, professional rollers, etc.)

To work on workpieces (to do milling, drilling, engraving a.o.m.) you need a machining unit (MU). It is fixed to the Z-table of the CNC-machine.

The MU consists mainly of a spindle with a clamp to fix a tool (mill, drill, engraving router a.o.m.)

A tool-set for our HighPower-C-Axis

Our HighPower-C-Axis as machining unit for drilling, milling, engraving, etc. needs suitable machining parameters which regards its technical features. Background knowledge:

A servomotor drive has got certain characteristics:

• Servomotors are very dynamic (fast change of speed, good controllability) and very powerful. This requires a high load tolerance of the linear axes, therefore you must choose machines with high load capacity.
• Servomotors have got an integrated encoder (rotation supervision and angle control), which provides a constant position even at standstill. Therefore, the motor must be shut off for manual tool change (Software function).
• Servomotors are extremely maintenance-free, without brushes and current transmission elements towards the rotor (collector), nor ventilator. However, a servo-amplifier (control- and amplifier electronics) is required, which will normally be housed behind the body (Portal). A small ventilator is built in there.
• Servomotors are extremely low
• Servomotors and spindles are separated from one another, this means: flexible transmission ratios when needed (Standard 40:18), easier maintenance, spindle can be modified.

The total programmability of our HighPower-C-Axis allows its use in the following range of applications:

• as milling/drilling/engraving spindle
• to position angles
• to use with special tools with inversion of rotation direction, like thread cutting, cutter, oscillating tools
