BIG 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!
 
Reduced Machining Time:
Map of Japan milled with R .004" ball nose endmill - Material: NAK80 (HRC40)
Old machining time:
450 min. (20,000 machining center spindle)
New machining time:
120 min. (80,000 Air Power Spindle)
 
Extended Tool life:
Drilling with Ø.020" carbide drill - Material: Stainless steel
Old tool life:
500 holes (12,000 machining center spindle, 60 sec./hole)
New tool life:
1,200 holes (50,000 Air Power Spindle, 20 sec./hole)
 
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.
 
Additional Information:

Ø.018" to Ø.159"
Increments:
.004"
Collet class:
AA

Runout:
1 µm at nose
Automatic Tool Change:
Compressed air supplied via stop block to enhance productivity with unmanned operation.
Manual Tool Change:
Easily mounted on machine without stop block.
