Advantages of Step-Tec spindles |
|
|
|
- The installation of special motors with a large rotor hole diameter results
in a dynamically very robust construction with excellent power density. Customer benefit = high chip volume, use of long tools possible
- Matched hybrid bearing sets (steel rings, ceramic balls) in combination
with grease lubrication or the Step –Tec outer ring direct lubrication system (DLS) allow high speeds, despite large and rigid bearings. Additionally, the reduction of the axial displacement of the spindle shaft allows a higher manufacturing accuracy by using rigid bearing seating up front and sliding bearing seating at the rear end as well as temperature sensors and axial movement sensor Customer benefit = Increased productivity and better product quality
High Precision manufactured parts and the use of high quality components guarantee durability (1) and reliability (2). Customer benefit = 1) Guarantees return of investment and 2) high productivity
The teachable analog sensor system, which monitors the clamping system, allows adjustments without touching the spindle and is less prone to break downs. Customer benefit = Easy maintenance, increased availability of the system
The optional VibroSet™ enables monitoring of vibrations and excessive temperatures during the machining process. Customer benefit = visualization of machining vibrations, enables machining process control, greater tool service life, longer spindle service life
Optimum support for the proper integration of a spindle system into the machine (Project Planning Manual will be handed to the machine manufacturer), as well as customized monitoring devices and accessories resulting in shorter assembly time of the machine/spindle system. Customer benefit = short commissioning
Standardized key spindle elements allow multiple use of well proven components such as the motor module, spindle module, cylinder module (tool clamping system), media connection module and sensory modules. Customer benefit = minimized risk for new customer specific spindle developments
On-going improvement and development process insures a high quality standard. Customer benefit = long term market value
All spindles are compatible with today’s standard drive technology (Siemens, Heidenhain, Fanuc, Indradrive, Sieb&Meyer). New: Electrical connection Universal X > compatible with all drive systems Customer benefit = axis drives and main spindle drive modules of the same brand
Layout and design of the bearing system and motor shaft is specified and verified by computer assisted FEM programs. Customer benefit = dynamic limit behavior can be calculated (milling simulations are possible).
Optimized bearing layout for greatest possible bearing life for grease and oil lubricated spindles. Customer benefit = Long maintenance intervals = high productivity
Torque, power and thermal behavior of new developed motor spindles are measured and documented on the Step-Tec motor spindle test bench. Customer benefit = verified and documented performance data
Coded Connector System CCS (fast coupling system) in case of a spindle replacement Customer benefit = shortest out of order period for your machine
Dual circuit tool coolant spray ring for coolant lube and air Customer benefit = optimized setup for your customer application
Coolant through units are dry run safe, equipped with hybrid bearings or bearing less leakage poor sealant design (friction less) Models for air in rotation possible, coolant pressure up to 2900 psi (200 bar), minimum volume lubrication possible, speed up to 60,000 rpm Customer benefit = optimized application for the tool coolant requirements
State-of-the-art measuring and testing facilities with automatic data logging and monitoring allow maximal product quality. Customer benefit = 100% approved key component for your machining center
