We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Spindle Speeds",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC package suits small runs for university from
ACI (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Gate Machinery International supplied a total of nine machines to Queen Mary, University of London, Department of Engineering over a 12-month period".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Upgrade for spindle error analyser from
Lion Precision: "The Lion Precision spindle error analyser, an industry standard for nearly ten years, has been updated with added capability and automated configuration".
In July 2006, we covered the news from Matchmaker M/C
concerning its Mini Mill 610
- take a look at Stretched Mini Mill Introduced by Matchmaker
which says: "One new machine which has a longer than usual X axis, but conforms to the overall space saving nature of such models, is the Mini Mill 610 from Matchmaker M/C".
Take a look also at the news release from Bielomatik, Lubrication system minimises waste and pollution,
as well as Measurement technology is key to automation from Renishaw,
and Gearboxes help automatic part loader from Harmonic Drive UK.
