We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Motor Spindle",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC miller/borer vertically turns as well from
NCMT, which we summarised at the time by saying "Described as a 'cross between a heavy duty vertical turning and boring facility and a 5-axis machining centre' a bed-type machine has a 30kW turning table".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Grinding crankshaft pins and bearings in one from
Emag UK: "A cylindrical grinding machine built for machining passenger car engine crankshafts up to 500mm long, grinds pin bearings and main bearings in one set-up".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Hurco Europe
concerning its VMX42SR vertical machining centre
- take a look at Vertical machining centre has swivelling head
which says: "A 5-axis vertical machining centre features a thermally stabilised head with motor spindle that swivels about the B-axis, while the fifth CNC axis is provided by a horizontal rotary table".
Take a look also at the news release from HK Technologies, Compact CNC milling machine is universal,
as well as Moving bridge VMC is very dynamic, accurate from Unisign,
and CNC milling control contours faster from Hurco Europe.
