Monarch Offers High Speed / High Torque Spindles
Monarch Machine Tool Company announces the addition of two optional high speed/high
torque spindles. The new offering will be a 12,000 and 15,000 RPM 50 taper spindle
patterned after the companies 10,000 RPM unit. The spindle design will still incorprate
both roller and ball bearings to provide maximum stiffness and elminate axial and radial
deflection. The two speed gearbox will still be a standard Monarch feature and has been
redesigned to handle the increased spindle RPM and remain thermally stable. This spindle
design will allow Monarch customers to take high speed cuts in aluminum and will be stiff
enough for heavy milling in exotic materials. |
