Suhner Industrial Products, a manufacturer of industrial tools and components, introduces its machining unit BEX 15 designed with a spindle speed of up to 23,000 RPM, in order to offer higher speeds and improved production inline. Standard variations are meant to be equipped with electric motors of 0.55 kW, 0.75 kW and 1.5 kW. An adapter flange is designed for the installation of multiple spindle heads and angle heads.
A timing belt drive should multiply the motor speed up to 13,050 RPM spindle speed. An AC inverter drive is used to increase the spindle speed up to 23,000 RPM at 87 Hz. Standard motor mounting on BEX 15 machining spindles is in the rear. Optional front motor mounting is available upon request. Additional optional features are meant to include frequency converter and direct drive servomotor.
The machining unit BEX 15 can be applied in axial and radial orientation, says the company, directly mounted to a Suhner linear slide assembly Type UA15-PH or UA15-CNC. In this combination, numerous operations such as milling or demanding drilling cycles including jump or peck feed can be accomplished more easily.
Four optional toolholder systems (Collet ER25, ISO30, HSK50 and Weldon), standard air purge connections for spindle and belt housing including a number of additional options (for example, coolant through the spindle or automated tool change features) are supposed to make this machining unit type adaptable and for inline machining requirements. BEX 15 with HSK spindle is also made to include an integrated 4-point clamping system form C, for manual tool clamping.
