When a machine tool spindle fails, the expertise of skilled technicians with in-depth knowledge can provide insight to optimal repairs and/or rebuilds. This spindle was upgraded to an HSK tool ...

METHODS MACHINE TOOLS introduced the Nakamura-Tome JX-250, high-performance multitasking turning center, which offers the largest machining area envelope in its class for high-precision milling and ...

Manufacturers invest heavily in advanced cutting tools, high-performance CNC machines, and optimized cutting strategies, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

What if I told you that one of the leading spindle failures has nothing to do with the spindle itself or the machine? What if I could prove it’s the tooling, not the spindle? One of today’s leading ...

Dr. Ralf Dupont, President of Levicron, has been involved in the development of non-contact bearing systems, for over a decade. AZoM Spoke to Ralf about Levicron's aerostatic tool spindles which can ...

At EMO 2017, Schaeffler presented a revolutionary system for maximising the OEE (overall equipment efficiency) of machine tools – a newly developed range of sensors for main spindle monitoring that ...

While cheap hobby CNC mills and routers are great machines that allow you to build things a 3D printer just can’t handle, they do have their limitations. They’re usually powered by a Dremel or other ...
