Over the years Stan
Eaves, Don Ellwood and Simon Emms have handled hundreds of different
spindle projects. A brief synopsis of the last 10 to 15 years is as
follows:-
Aerospace
Associated Machines and Tools worked for many years with Marwin Production
Systems (Now AB Marwin ) on the development of their Automax 1,2 and 3
spindles. These were all motorised routing spindles with 40 or 45 ISO
tapers, power drawbars, 30 – 45 KW power ratings, liquid cooled etc.
AMT developed high speed/ high torque spindles with Cincinnati Milacron running at up to
12500 RPM utilising power drawbars, oil/air lubrication etc., belt
driven and gear driven.
Many KTM routing spindles come through us for refurbishment and upgrade. Most recently
working with Cross Huller (3) new KTM air cooled, 15KW, 9000RPM routing spindles were manufactured complete for Bae Systems.
High Frequency spindles regularly come through for reconditioning such as GMN/ Gamfior/ Junkers/ Omlat/
Precise etc. etc. Spindle Services have the capability to re-engineer
to enhance and improve designs where required. Continuos development
with this type of machinery is always of paramount importance.
In addition utilising a variety of different motor manufacturers (to suit
customer requirements) we can offer a full range of high frequency
spindles.
Automotive
Automotive experience extends across the full range of components. Cylinder Head
lines, Cylinder Block lines, Crankshaft Lines, Camshaft Lines,
