Precision Drive Systems (PDS), a global provider of precision motor spindles, expert support, and repair near Charlotte, NC, has announced that it has hired Patrick Hutson as business development specialist.
The new WMK 3010S rotational speed sensor from AMO is now available and provides users of milling and turning machines a better option for operation of their main spindle.
In the history of machine tools, spindles have been very good relative
to other bearings and structures on
the machine. So quality professionals
have developed a cache of tools—-ball
bars, grid encoders displacement lasers, etc.—-to help them characterize and understand the geometry of the structural loop. But as machine tools have improved in their capability and precision, and the demands of part-geometry and
surface finish have become more critical, errors in spindles have become a larger percentage of the total error.
