Operational Features of Motorized Spindles with HSK Tool Connection

Abstract

The article describes main trends in cutting performance enhancement: traditional force cutting and high-speed machining. Results of analysis of products by world's leading manufacturers of motorized spindles are provided, and conclusion is made that the most used standard for connection between spindle and toolholder in drilling, milling and boring machines is HSK. Limitations of operational features of motorized spindles by load capacity of HSK connection and efficiency of tool usage are shown.
