TaeguTec's revolutionary new technology, Typhoon, will do just that - facilitate High Speed machining on your existing set-up enabling you to increase efficiency, accuracy and quality of workpieces, while saving you significant cost and time!
High speed machining
HSM can be mainly envisaged in all industry sectors where small diameter finishing applications like end-milling, drilling, chamfering, engraving are done inefficiently due to limitations of machine RPM. For example, it can be used in the industry which deals with machining aluminum to produce automotive components, small computer parts or medical devices. Or the die & mould industry which requires dealing with finishing of hard materials. In the latter category, it is important to machine with high speed and to keep high accuracy.
High speed machining however finds limited use in the industry owing to reasons of cost and set-up. But the Typhoon opens up big possibilities of high-speed finishing on several existing good, low-medium spindle-speed, high-rigidity machines.
Old machine new machine!
The Typhoon system uses the existing machine's coolant supply, reaching rotation speeds of up to 40,000 rpm while the main machine spindle remains idle. This new coolant-driven spindles are a unique patent-pending line of high speed machining spindles, recommended when high rpm is required on standard CNC machines. it makes it is possible to combine roughing applications using regular tools at regular parameters and low diameter finishing applications at high RPMs. The Typhoon can be mounted on tool magazines without any special adaptation and can be handled by ATC, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the existing machine by a great extent in the process.
Applications
The Typhoon serves the growing demand for finishing and semi-finishing operations on a wide range of processed materials in industries such as the die & mold, automotive, aerospace, medical and others for milling, drilling, engraving, chamfering (deburring), thread milling, and G-grinding applications.
Range
The new spindle is available in three variants, each covering a range of diameters and speeds for a wide range of materials and cutting tools. The Typhoon can be supplied either as right-hand or left-hand rotation direction and supports cutting tools up to 3.5 mm diameter, with shank diameter up to 6.0 mm.
Direct wireless rotation speed monitoring
The Typhoon is equipped with an on-line speed display system, monitoring the actual cutting tool rotation speed during machining.
o 2.4 GHz radio frequency transmission
o Direct wireless rotational speed monitoring up to 5 meter range
o Enables data reading of all the Typhoon units being used on the same machine.
