Carbide cutters machine aluminium at high speeds
Specifically designed for machining aluminium, solid carbide straight shank cutters have the versatility to machine a host of materials ranging from plastic to brass and copper.
Unique versatility whether mounting in a V Flange for CNC use or in a vertical milling machine.
For long continuous operation and durability under load with its standard ceramic bearings and rigid stainless steel housing with integrated 3/4in shank, Air Turbine Spindle 600 Series are a durable and accurate option for any machine shop.
The patented direct drive turbine motor delivers governed constant high speed and torque from 25,000 to 90,000 rev/min.
No lubrication is required, eliminating lubrication costs and oil mist contamination.
Governed high speed cutting action improves cutting action and finished surface quality.
Faster program cycles result in lower production costs and high-speed cutting improves end mill performance and life.
Air Turbine Tools 600 Series features are: * Five high concentricity stainless steel units pictured - three single turbine 602JS, 625JS and 650JS plus two the double turbine extra power units 625XJS and 650XJS.
* Constant high speeds and torque from 25,000 to 90,000 rev/min under load.
Up to 1.4HP from Air Turbine Spindles' patented motor.
Noise is under 67dB(A).
* Selectable center or side air feed in the same unit (patent pending).
Mount your 600 unit in any configuration using the through 3/4in shank air feed in a V flange or the side air feed 1/4in NTP fitting.
Unique versatility in one tool: just move the inlet plug.
No stop block is needed with only the cutter rotating, making programming easier.
* Total indicated run-out 0.0002in concentricity, ER11 collets standard (except 602JS).
* Standard ceramic bearings in steel housings for reliable continuous operation.
Double ceramic front bearings in the biggest spindle 650JS spindle mount.
* No lubrication or maintenance.
No vanes or gears and less moving parts in the direct drive governed motor cut repair costs and down time dramatically compared to geared speeders.
