Advantages of Step-Tec spindles PDF Print E-mail
  • 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
