Product sheet: Interchangeable multi-spindle heads for machining centers
The document outlines the design and functionality of interchangeable multi-spindle heads used in machining centers and turning/milling centers. Key components include drive cones, locking discs, interlocks, torque support arms, and tool holders. These components ensure precise positioning, stability, and efficient power transmission during machining processes.
- Drive Cone/Machine Interface: Available in various standard connections like HSK, SK, CATMAS BT, and others, ensuring compatibility with different machine types.
- Locking Disc and Interlock: These components secure the drive cone's angle and prevent rotation without equipment, facilitating precise tool placement.
- Torque Support Arm: Prevents rotation during processing, adaptable to specific machine types or available as standard from BENZ.
- Tool Holder/Clamping System: Designed per customer specifications, capable of handling high coolant pressures and dry running.
Optional features include integrated pivoting devices, threaded spindles, and tool guides for enhanced functionality and precision.
The document provides examples of implemented solutions, such as multi-spindle heads for brake caliper machining, heavy-duty cutting, and continuous use with oil mist lubrication. These solutions highlight the versatility and adaptability of the multi-spindle heads for various industrial applications.
Typical applications include brake caliper machining, steering gear processing, and step machining (drilling and threading). The heads are equipped with features like oil mist lubrication and internal coolant infeed for optimal performance.
