RBX12 Air Power Spindle enables normal machining centers to be cost-effectively upgraded to perform high-speed micro-machining. Operating at variable rotational speeds of 100,000 to 120,000 rpm, RBX12 helps improve machining accuracy, enhance surface finish, significantly lengthen tool life, and reduce wear on cutting tools.
High-speed operation also means machining time can be reduced by more than 300% over slower processes. The spindle’s AA-grade Mega Micro Collet guarantees 1-micron runout at the collet nose, and its 0.004-in. collapsibility assures a near-perfect concentric clamping of a micro-tool shank.
- variable rotational speeds of 100,000 to 120,000 rpm
- machining time can be reduced by more than 300% over slower processes
- Air pressure: 0.5 MPa, Air consumption: 200L/min. (e.g.: power output of a compressor: 2.2kW 250L/min.)
- Air channels and turbine are optimized for low noise. Cutting noise of micro tools can be heard
