HOMAG offers modernised version of spindle cooling system

 Friday, March 29, 2024

It is always important for the CNC machine owners to focus on the spindle cooling system. That’s why, HOMAG has recently modernised the spindle cooling system to ensure that the machine spindle of one’s CNC machine functions reliably for the long term. This advanced spindle cooling system offered by HOMAG is a prime example of ultimate innovation.

This modernisation not only gives you improved cooling functions, but also increases the operational reliability of your machine.

CNC professionals will benefit from these:

• Longer service life of the machining spindle due to improved cooling properties.
• Reduced downtimes due to less contamination of the cooling system.
• Separate cooling of the main spindle independent of the vacuum technology used.
• More economical usage thanks to a savings of approx. 90% in corrosion protection agent and its disposal.

The high service costs, unnecessary disposal costs and high susceptibility to faults are a thing of the past. Spindle cooling is available as an active or passive cooling unit.

What are the usages and advantages of the active cooling system?

Active spindle cooling is highly recommended for applications involving 5-axis spindles, increased machining volumes, and primary processing of solid wood. It is also advisable to employ active spindle cooling for spindles under heavy loads and/or in environments with high ambient temperatures.

The advantages are:

• Fewer breakdowns thanks to sophisticated technology
• Spare parts availability guaranteed for several years
• Closed cooling system protects against dust particles
• Faster servicing and lower costs thanks to a smaller amount of coolant (approx. 7 liters in the storage tank)
• Even distribution of coolant thanks to flow monitor
• Can also be used at higher ambient temperatures (up to 43° C)
• Air conditioning compressor that precisely regulates the preset temperature

Usage and advantages of the passive cooling system

Passive spindle cooling is ideally suited for machines with 4-axis spindles with normal machining volumes and processing of sheet material up to 19 mm.

The advantages are:

• Fewer breakdowns thanks to sophisticated technology
• Spare parts availability guaranteed for several years
• Closed cooling system protects against dust particles
• Faster servicing and lower costs thanks to a smaller amount of coolant (approx. 7 liters in the storage tank)
• Even distribution of coolant thanks to flow monitor
