Productivity is one of the key performance measures for modern machine tools. Always faster milling, grinding, drilling and cutting is the main driver in machine tool development. Moreover significant gains can be made with intelligent tool handling and process monitoring that rely on real-time data acquired from the process.
Whether in grinding or milling spindles, magnetic bearings provide crucial process data and are at the very core of speeding your process up.
Laser cutting is just one example, where Active Magnetic Bearings make a difference. The contact-free bearings need no lubrication and eliminate the risk of laser contamination. The AMBs are maintanance-free, allow for high speeds and provide a compact design. For mass production, the digital control system allows to use the same control hardware for several blower types. The unbalance force rejection control system (UFRC) ensures vibration-free operation.
