Kaiser Air Power Spindle |
|
Air
Power Spindle |
is
an air-driven tool with variable spindle speeds |
up to
80,000 RPM that can be used on existing machining centers to provide
dramatic enhancements to surface finish quality, extended tool life,
and reduced 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.

Most problems associated with Micro-machining are caused by poor dynamic
runout of a machine spindle. Air Power Spindle delivers exceptional
dynamic run-out accuracy of less than .002mm,
even at 80,000 RPM! |

Minimal
Thermal Displacement: |
| Axial
displacement compared to operating time |
|
Air
turbine drive prevents thermal expansion of the spindle which is
essential for high accuracy micro-machining. |
