- Automatic Tool ChangeAutomatic Tool Change Spindles from Hiteco, PDS And Giordano Colombo Automatic Tool Change (ATC) spindles are available in a wide range of speed, power and features that use a clamping system for tool holders. The tool holders, typically HSK or ISO-style tapers, allow full integration with your CNC or robot so tool changes can be conducted with no manual intervention. This allows for a range of sizes and types of cutter, drill or shaper to be placed in tool holders off-line and used on a single machine. This can improve the capability of the machine and reduce overall production time.
- Manual Tool ChangeManual tool change spindle designs are available from 0.4 to 40 hp in speeds up to 40,000 rpm. This type of spindle features a spring collet-type tool retention system. The clamping system uses a collet nut to compress a collet and secure the tool in the tool holder. Tool setup is done ‘manually’ at the machine. Collet clamping system offer excellent tool rigidity at lower speeds and are less expensive to maintain. From a machining viewpoint PDS Manual Tool Change spindles deliver high-performance and widely used for applications on machines working wood, plastic, aluminium, light alloy, glass and marble. These spindles are suitable for milling, boring, routing, grinding, polishing, debur, and more.
- 5 Axis SpindlesThree models of 5-axis bi-rotating heads are available from PDS to meet a broad range of contouring machining needs. With spindle speeds up to 24,000 rpm and available in 13.5 HP, 16 HP, and 23 HP sizes and are designed to convert 3 axis machines to provide 5-axis contour profiling capability. They feature a 50 degree A-axis tilt design that provides a compact swing radius that allows the head to be positioned in tighter quarters, deliver higher resolution profile machining, with increased stiffness while providing an increased machining range. All three of these heads provide full 5-axis simultaneous motion contour machining capability for position and feed control for off-angle radial feed (drilling) and off-angle straight line linear feed (milling). As option, all PDS 5-Axis heads can be equipped for 360° continuous rotation. PDS 5-axis Bi-Rotating heads are a perfect fit for woodworking, light alloys, and composite / fiberglass part manufacturers. By applying 5-axis machining to your manufacturing process, machining capability is increased and opportunities are opened as a ‘high-value part supplier’.
