Machine Tool Attachments & Accessories

The Twin-Spindle machine with i³ was developed over several years with the initial project between LiCON and Bosch Rexroth successfully implemented in Bosch Rexroth's Lohr, Germany, headquarters as early as 2021. A twin spindle 5 axis double trunnion CNC machine was used for this project.

NSK America Corporation manufactures high-speed precision spindles and micro grinders, offering adaptable systems for various machines. Their spindles reach speeds of 50,000 RPM and 80,000 RPM, suitable for micro and nano machining. The iSpeed series allows for quick tool changes, while the E3000 series features a 30mm straight spindle for specialty applications. NSK also provides electric micro grinders with multiple RPM options and compatibility with various attachments.

The Through-Spindle Coolant (TSC) Kit and Mist Collector are designed to take CNC machining to the next level by offering enhanced air quality, superior efficiency and improved machine performance. n

All presetter models feature interchangeable spindles (CAT, BT, HSK, Polygonal Taper, etc.) thereby eliminating the need for adapters which introduce additional error. All units also come with fifty of the most common post processors for today's CNC controls. Advanced models incorporate an advanced automatic spindle rotation system with pneumatic engagement, ensuring zero backlash and optimal indexing. This cutting-edge system includes spindle identification, negating operator error and ensuring tools are always measured correctly for the right machine tool taper/size.

In addition to use in the semiconductor, biotechnology, precision assembly and battery manufacturing industries, the SGR Series rod module is also appropriate for glass and LCD panels, medical equipment, printing machines, laser processing and precision assembly.

Thomson miniature metric ball screws accomplish this with a unique multi-liner return system that maximizes the number of circuits and loaded balls in the nut. A miniature metric system with a multi-liner return system, for example, deploys 168 balls in eight circuits to support 7.6 kN of static load, as compared to a single-liner design, which would use 84 balls in four circuits to support only 4.2 kN. Maximizing the number of balls within a single nut also extends the life of the system by spreading the load across multiple points.

FISCHER USA Inc. has expanded its repair services and exchange programs to include third-party spindle brands in the North American market.

These bumpers are available in "off-the-shelf" sizes, as well as special cut to custom requirements. Bumpers are most often used in material handling, assembly and manufacturing operations to guide, stop and support parts as they are moved and transferred. Fairlane Products maintains a large inventory of products and they are an economical alternative in many applications to eliminate the need for custom engineered molded components.
