High-Speed Machining
Increasing Torque For A High Speed Spindle
Torque, not power, is the most important characteristic for determining the cutting performance of a spindle. Increasing spindle torque for a high speed machining center ultimately affects not only the choice of spindle but also the design of the machine.

High Speed And Torque: One Spindle Drive
Most metalcutting operations divide into one of two processing camps. First is the need to remove large volumes of material using high depth of cut and relatively slower feeds and speeds. On the other end of the spectrum is high speed machining, which calls for shallow depth of cut with correspondingly high rotational speeds and fast feed rates.

High Speed Machining Cuts Moldmaking Cycle Time
The moldmaking department of a manufacturing company demands the same skill and attention to detail as an independent moldmaker does. However, the manufacturing company puts more emphasis on throughput and versatility from moldmaking machines to ensure that molds are ready in time to keep the injection molding machines running and turning out quality products.
