HP Quick Change Spindle System
High Precision Quick Change Spindle System
For applications that require the utmost precision, Parlec’s HP Quick Change spindle system is the answer. Using dedicated cartridges for each tooling style, the HP spindle eliminates adapter stack-up and maintains the micron accuracy of the Series 2500 system – Large diameter tooling, tapered tooling, and any tooling that must be set with micron precision can all benefit from the HP spindle system with universal mechanical power clamping options. On the ParleVision® CNC system, 3-Axis automation, spindle focusing and auto-indexing are enabled. In addition, Parlec’s in-house engineering and design capability delivers custom tooling solutions fast for both milling and turning applications.
The design of Parlec’s HP Quick Change Spindle maintains ‘match-ground’ precision, sealed bearing system, and elimination of adapter stack-up found in designs that utilize sleeved adapters.
Convenient panel controls provide easy access to spindle functions including retention knob clamping, 90 degree and 360 degree spindle locking.
Parlec’s High Precision Quick Change Spindle System is available on Series 2500 TMM machines. The system may be configured for manual operation and semi-automatic rotation using Parlec’s PGC Plus software.
Auto-Focus/Auto-Indexing operations for multi-insert face and milling cutter tools allow for enhanced process control and repeatability.
