Lightweight coolant driven angle heads weighing as little as 3lbs are now available from Eltool Corp.

"Tool weight has often been a roadblock when it comes to using right angle heads on machines with BT30 taper spindles," said Kirk Batten, Applications/Product Engineer. "We wanted to provide a product for those with Brother Speedio and Fanuc Robodrill machines that is well under the 6lb maximum these compact machines can hold in their carousel. By using a hybrid of alloy steel and aircraft grade aluminum, rigidity can be maintained in the areas that require it. We feel this is a vast improvement over an all-aluminum construction seen in lightweight mechanical angle heads."

Titespot® angle heads are indexable, allowing multi-position machining with one angle head and set-up, and their compact profile allows machining in bores and cavities not accessible to mechanical heads. Eltool Angle Heads can machine in bores down to 5/8″ in diameter and develop up to 2.5 Horsepower – enough to drill ½" holes through 4140 steel.
