ANCA - The new TX7 Spindle Speed Increaser

20.02.2017

The new Spindle Speed Increaser enables customers to easily grind Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tool blanks, allowing for greater speed and efficiency.

Available as an accessory to the TX7 or TXcell, the Spindle Speed Increaser can spin wheels at speeds up to 42 000 revolutions per minute (RPM) - catering for very small diameter grinding wheels. Conveniently, the speed increaser can be changed out automatically in the same way as a regular wheel pack. This means it can be used in conjunction with other grinding wheel packs facilitating a wider range of grinding operations.


In the example of a PCD tool blank preparation, a standard wheel pack andvRPM can be used for typical operations such as fluting and relief, while the speed increaser accessory can be used to grind the smaller PCD pockets. This means all operations only require one machine setup to manufacture a completed tool, saving time and increasing effiency. To complement this, ANCA provides dedicated PCD pocket software iGrind that allows the user quickly and easily define PCD pocket geometry on a given tool.

The speed increaser combined with the PCD pocket special operation software is just another option for you to consider new ways to enhance the opportunities for getting maximum value out of your machine tool investment, said ANCA Product MAnager.

The spindle speed increaser is availapble as an accessrory on new or existing TX and MX range of machine. It requires no special changes to a standard TX7 or TX cell, adapting directly into tje main spindle´s big plus taper system.
