Ramsey, New Jersey – Space Saver VDI Spindle units are designed to increase machine production capability by increasing tool capacity and reducing chip-to-chip or retooling time.
Designed to increase the function of all available tool spaces, 2x to 4x, the X-axis is occupied twice. In combination with the Y-axis of the machine itself, a hole can be drilled and threaded using just one tool space.
The utilization of the Z-axis is even more effective. On a two-spindle machine, two tool holders for the main spindle and two tool holders for the sub-spindle are used. A complex workpiece can be machined with tool capacity left over. When utilizing all the tool spaces to the maximum, the machine can be equipped with up to 72 tools, drastically increasing machine production capability, reducing downtime and overall production costs.
