Sodick AZ150 nano precision HSM
This video shows Sodick's 120,000 rpm air turbine spindle. The spindle is standard on Sodick's new AZ150 high speed machining center and can generate finishes down to .5 RMS with nano level machining accuracy. For more info call 1.888.639.2325.

120,000min-1 high-speed spindle
Free from thermal effects, the spindle is a 120,000 min-1 pneumatic static bearing, air turbine system, and proves excellent vibration-free operation even at high-speed rotation.

  • The AZ150 will be shown at the Sodick IMTS 2008 booth #4000

  • It was machining air, which, let's face it, is a pretty easy medium to work on. The problems start when trying to check that the results meet the required specifications, both dimensionally and the surface finish.

    I think that we were not able to see the finished part because some dork opened a window and it blew away. };-)

  • Won't have to worry about stray dogs hanging around the shop with the noise that thing makes. XD

  • WHAT WAS THAT ALLTHAT ABOUT

  • That is speed.

  • @macsthunderhawk You need such high speeds to mill with cutters less than 1mm diametre.

    As an example, a solid carbide cutter with 0.6 mm diameter has a calculated speed of 95 493 rpm​at 180 m / min cutting speed and there are even smaller cutters;-)

  • what would you need a machine that goes 120k rpms for? to me i dont see a point in it as i see machines with 30k top rpms more than enough with most modern day metals

  • @gummel82 put a sock in it gummel82 , what i said(and others as well) stands, air tests arent much of an indication of its cutting abilities. would be good to see it working on something.

  • @gummel82 fy.. as silv425 points out, its machineing air, which isnt much of an indication of it final abilities now is it.

  • @illcities you dumb idiot.

  • Well, i know harvey and a few other micro tooling places sell .001" endmills. I can see how this could be useful.

  • isnt it supposed to cut something?

  • sounds exactly like what i thought 120k rpm would sound like. a fucking jet engine!
