What are the difference of these spindle type? Belt-Driven Spindle :Use belts and belt wheels to transmit power. This spindle has a simple structure and low cost, which is suitable for general lighter processing applications. Direct-Drive Spindle :Connect the motor directly to the spindle, omit the belt transmission part. DD spindle provides high torque and better accuracy, which is suitable for applications that require high performance and high-speed machining. Built-in spindle :Built-in spindle components, including bearings and other components, are located in a cartridge. It is conducive to easier spindle replacement and maintenance. Gear-Driven Spindle:Use the gear system to transmit power. Gear-Driven spindle is usually used for applications that require high torque and stability, such as large-scale cutting or drilling operations. Compare the prices of these spindles from cheap to expensive : Cheap : Belt type Medium : Direct type Expensive : Built-in and Gear-Driven Each spindle has its own advantages and limitations, and the selection should be based on specific processing needs, materials and expected performance standards. For example, high-speed machining may require a straight spindle, while heavy cutting may require a gear spindle. These choices will depend on the specific requirements of the application.   Why does spindle play crucial part in machining center? Spindle holds and rotates the cutting tool during the machining process so that it refers to a crucial component of machining center to play a central role in shaping, cutting, or milling materials such as metal, plastic, or wood. Key features of the spindle on a machining center include: Rotation: The spindle rotates at high speeds, and the cutting tool attached to it performs various operations, such as drilling, milling, or turning. Power: The spindle is powered by a motor, which provides the necessary torque and speed for efficient material removal. Tool Holder: The cutting tool is secured to the spindle using a tool holder. This allows for the quick and accurate interchangeability of tools based on the machining requirements. Cooling: Machining processes generate heat, so spindles often have cooling systems to prevent overheating and maintain the precision of the cutting tool. Control: The spindle speed and direction are controlled by the machine's computerized numerical control (CNC) system. This allows for precise control over the machining operation. The choice between these configurations depends on the specific machining requirements and the type of workpiece being processed.

Spindle oil cooler is a device used in machinery, particularly in metalworking applications such as milling machines and lathes. Its primary purpose is to "cool the lubricating oil " that is used to lubricate the spindle bearings in these machines. Why does spindle oil cooler is important? Because spindle in machine tool is a critical component that rotates to drive cutting tools or workpieces. During operation, spindle will generate heat due to friction and mechanical processes. Excessive heat can lead to increased wear and reduced performance of the spindle and associated components. Spindle Oil cooler itself has forced cooling function, so that the heat generated by high spindle rotation speed can be constantly cooled by circulation of the oil. The spindle temperature rise will thus not be too high. When is Spindle Oil Cooler necessary ? 1. When spindle dimension is 150 mm, a spindle oil cooler is a must. 2. When spindle speed is over 12000 rpm, a spindle oil cooler is a must. 3. When spindle speed is working at 80% of its max. speed for a long time, a spindle oil cooler is a must. Here's a general overview of how Spindle Oil Cooler works: By effectively removing excess heat from the lubricating oil, spindle oil cooler helps maintain a stable temperature in the spindle bearings, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the machine tool. The specific design and components of spindle oil coolers may vary based on the type of machine and the cooling requirements.

A transformer is a special machine used to change DC voltage from one level to another. It can be considered as an alternating current to a direct current converter. The transformer converts electrical energy into another form and changes AC's voltage levels into some other levels of AC.   Why do you need a transformer? For example: When you buy a hair dryer from Japan and use it back to Taiwan. The voltage in Japan is 100, and the voltage in Taiwan is 110. If you don't use a transformer, the hair dryer may break down. In mechanical use, that’s the same principle.   What is a machine tool transformer? Core and coil transformers for machine tools are used to provide voltage to control devices in applications where regulation and minimum space are important. Welded cores provide the highest quality electrical performance and quiet operation.   What is the use of a transformer? Transformers are used to change AC voltage levels, such transformers being termed step-up or step-down type to increase or decrease voltage level, respectively. Transformers can also be used to provide galvanic isolation between circuits as well as to couple stages of signal-processing circuits.   What type does Maple-Tech adopt? Self-coupling Type What brand does Maple-Tech adopt? 翔強國際 T-SUPPLY How many transformers will be placed on our machining center? One, placed on the Left rear side of machine model.

What does maple adopt fixtures and jig in manufacturing process? Usually use milling vise , 3 jaw chuck and T-slot clamping kit like below photo. When machining process needed to trim some work piece or parts, Maple will do fixing with these three tools. Why do you need fixture and jig? Jigs and fixtures are frequently utilized in CNC machining to ensure precision, accuracy, and quality of CNC machined components. These are both types of engineered tooling designed to hold things in place during machining. The ability to hold things in place makes jigs and fixtures work holders for CNC machining. While both of these terms are commonly used interchangeably, there are differences between them. What is a fixture? A fixture is a device used to hold your workpiece in place while it’s machined. A fixture needs to be rigid, precise, and able to withstand the heat generated and coolant or oils used during machining. Rigid, accurate, and repeatable part holding is key to ensuring precision and accuracy of CNC machined parts. What is common types of fixtures ? 1.T-Slots 2. Milling Vise 3. Modular Fixture and Quick Change Solutions 4. Custom Made Fixtures Below video show how we machine work piece with milling vise on work table. What is a jig? While jig as a noun can mean a lively dance with leaping movements, we’re talking about machining jigs or manufacturing jigs. Moreover, a jig serves as a guide for machining tools to cut at required locations while increasing the productivity of the manufacturing process. Jigs are usually smaller than fixtures but typically require more customization, design, and machining  to produce, and so are more expensive than fixtures. Jigs are more commonly used for simple processes like drilling, reaming, boring, and tapping. What is common types of jigs ? 1. Drill Jigs 2. Box Jig 3. Angle Plate Jig 4. Sandwich Jig 5. Channel Jig 6. Special Process Jigs
