Titespot®
Coolant Driven
Right Angle Heads
Unlike mechanically driven heads, Titespot® angle heads do not need a stop-block and do not depend on large bearings for housing support. Our angle head clamps rigidly into the spindle, allowing for more compact design with minimum deflection. In fact, Titespot® angle heads can machine in bores as small as 16.0mm (5/8") in diameter and have been manufactured in lengths up to 610 millimeters.
The best way to learn about what our Eltool right angle head can do for your application is to watch the interview with MTDCNC here.
A New Technology Solution
Indexable
Can machine at multiple radial positions with one head
and one set-up.
Compact
Can machine in bores down to 16.0 mm (5/8")
in diameter, and close to walls, floors and obstructions.
Rigid
Does not depend on bearings for housing support.
Bearing 'play' is eliminated, accuracy improved.
Simple to install
Load directly from the tool changer. No cumbersome stop blocks or spindle nose modifications required.
Efficient
Coolant flow through the head eliminates heat build-up and allows 100% duty cycle.
Modular
All angle head sizes are easily interchangeable with all shank styles.
Specifications
-
Milling heads are recommended for heavier duty milling applications. They incorporate two preloaded angular contact bearings on the front for improved performance and durabilty in side load applications. Drilling heads are more compact.
-
'Taperlock' and 'Eltool' Spindles are proprietary spindles designed to minimise the profile of the angle heads.
-
Please specify the size of Weldon spindle when ordering.
Minimum Requirements
The success of any Titespot® coolant driven tool depends on the combination of correct product selection for application and machine tool coolant pump specification.
There are three main factors that we are looking to achieve:
Speed (RPM)
The rpm developed by the angle head is a function of coolant flow rate (litres per minute). The Titespot® angle head will rotate at approximately 238 rpm per litre of flow.
Torque (Nm)
The torque developed by the angle head is a function of coolant pressure (Bar/PSI). Under test conditions the positive displacement ball piston motor develops .03 Nm of torque per bar of coolant pressure.
Machining power (Kw) & metal removal rate (cm3)
This is a direct correlation of flow rate and pressure. As a guide, in steel the metal removal rate is 22cm3 of material per minute per kilowatt of power generated.
