What are the difference of these spindle type?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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:

1. Rotation: The spindle rotates at high speeds, and the cutting tool attached to it performs various operations, such as drilling, milling, or turning.
2. Power: The spindle is powered by a motor, which provides the necessary torque and speed for efficient material removal.
3. 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.
4. Cooling: Machining processes generate heat, so spindles often have cooling systems to prevent overheating and maintain the precision of the cutting tool.
5. 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.
