Machine Matters

Development in the spindle design for high speeds is the mainstay of the high-speed machines. Manufacturing today finds out how vendors look at designs of such machines

Faster machining of parts coupled with higher throughput without compromising the accuracy, surface finish and repeatability is always the focus of the manufacturing industries. High Speed Machining (HSM) involves faster removal of material compared to conventional machining for which feed, spindle speed and torque characteristics, depth of cut, cutting tool, NC program preparation and program transfer and execution play an important role and HSM ensures quality, surface finish extended tool life, accuracy and overall increase in productivity. High speed machining is use of higher spindle speed of more than 20000rpm and higher feed rates compared to conventional machining and material removal is carried out using small size cutting tools by giving faster and lighter cuts.
