This technology turns standard CNC machines into high-speed performers
By Arthur Field
At 25,000 to 90,000 RPM, many spindles lose speed under load. Luckily, Air Turbine Tools maintains constant high speed in cut, delivering up to 1.4 horsepower with no duty cycle limits and no thermal growth in the machine spindle.
Founder Simon R. Shane explains how their patented O-ring governor automatically increases airflow on demand, so you don’t sacrifice power to achieve speed. Automatically loaded from the tool magazine on machines like Okuma, the system can deliver 6x to 10x higher production on small tools.
