and heres out near tool changer spindle.
this ones neat.
- its very small at 80mm square and 9" long, making it just about the smallest ISO25 spindle out thre.
- its roughly 2hp at 18000rpm and totally passive. no water cooling, to fans.
- its mostly aluminium so its light enough to fit most routers.
- its got duplex high grade angular contact bearings in the nose making it stronger and more precise than most lower priced spindes.
- you can have it with the hydraulic drawbar release on the back, or in a manual drawbar - both using standard ISO25 holders. this means you can buy a manual version, then upgrade it easily later on for a fairly low price.
- the drawbar uses a remote air over hydraulic cylinder to keep the size down. the remote cylinder will be made to fit inside the router frame, under the table top - same as the brake cylinder for the rotary table.
it will work with a variety of VFD's, including the standard delta model use on colombo spindles so its fully controlable from mach3 or EMC2. we will probabaly come up with an inexpensive VFD to match it.
later on there will be an all steel water cooled version of the spindle to fit inside many hobby scale milling machines. this will match the steel version of the rotary table.
