Description
Spindle drive inverters communicate with the CNC controller via the Modbus protocol, which allows you to instantly adjust the speed without loss of accuracy or drift of the analog reference level. In addition, this advanced communication technology allows motor current consumption to be monitored on the user interface, which is useful for monitoring tool wear and adjusting feed rates.
Multicam orders electric spindles for its milling machines from the Colombo company from Milan (Italy), as they have impressive technical characteristics.
Spindle drive inverters communicate with the CNC controller via the Modbus protocol, which allows you to instantly adjust the speed without loss of accuracy or drift of the analog reference level. In addition, this advanced communication technology allows motor current consumption to be monitored on the user interface, which is useful for monitoring tool wear and adjusting feed rates.
All Colombo spindles have a dual rating system - RC (compressed air cooling) and RA (liquid cooling). The spindle cooling compartments are separated from the pneumatic drive mechanism compartments. Spindles cooled by compressed air in S1 mode (continuous operation) have a power rating of 90%. Liquid cooled spindles - 100%.
All spindles have the ability to change the supply voltage from 220 V to 380 V. The 380 V supply voltage input is used in all installations with a supply voltage from 380 to 500 V. The inverter regulates the output voltage supplied to the spindle.
All spindles are equipped with three sensors that display the condition of the pneumatic mechanisms' rods. The sensors tell the motion controller the following information: tool in place, tool out, clamp open. The inverter monitors the rotation of the spindle and ensures that the tool clamps are closed. This information is used by the motion controller as part of common system security locks.

When producing products on machining centers, it is often necessary to perform operations in horizontal plane. An effective solution This task is the use of angular gearboxes for CNC machining centers.
The principle used in this solution is to change the angle of the tool’s rotation axis relative to the machine spindle rotation axis. Torque from the machine spindle to the tool is transmitted through a gear drive.
The use of angular gearboxes allows for various operations: milling (for example, a groove for a lock), drilling, including at an angle or multi-spindle, sawing with a circular saw, planing, etc.
Angular gears manufactured by Atemag - Germany, are designed for use with all models of CNC machining centers. The range of manufactured angular gears is designed to work with different load intensities. The use of angular gears will expand functionality your equipment. For more detailed information about the range of angular gears produced, please contact our company.
The entire range of angular gearboxes can be divided into three groups depending on the intensity of operation and the transmitted torques.
- Line of angular gearboxes “Smart”, gearboxes in this series are designed for single-shift operation; grease is used for lubrication. Maximum transmitted torque - 15 Nm
- Line of angular gearboxes “Function”, gearboxes in this series are designed for two-shift operation; grease is used for lubrication. Maximum transmitted torque - 20 Nm
- Line of angular gearboxes “Ultra”, gearboxes in this series are designed for two-shift operation, gear oil is used for lubrication. Maximum transmitted torque - 22 Nm

Spindles with separated motor and gearbox or belt drive. In these models, power and movement are generated by an external motor. Torque is transmitted to the spindle through a gearbox or belt. Spindle torque and speed depend on the characteristics of the connected motor. In this case, it is possible to provide very high power and torque. The maximum speed is also limited by the type of drive used. This also affects the size of the bearings, as they must withstand large radial loads.
Motor spindles are spindles with a built-in motor connected directly to the spindle shaft. They are designed for work at high speeds ( maximum speed depends on the type of bearings used) and moderately low material removal rates. As a rule, we install asynchronous electric motors with a continuously controlled current frequency by an inverter. Synchronous motors and rotors with constant magnetic field can be used to reduce rotor heating and increase static torque.
