Because the Titespot® angle head has its own power source (the coolant), your machine's spindle is free to function as an indexer, allowing multi-position machining with one head and set-up. It's virtually like adding an axis of motion to your machine tool. On machines equipped with a 'C' axis the angle head can be orientated for multi-position machining. On machines without a 'C' axis but with a servo and encoder (as is used in rigid tapping) it is almost always possible to re-orient the spindle to the desired angle(s) by altering the parameters for the M19 tool changer position.
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.
