High-speed electric spindle demo with micro tool
When considering options for speed, NSK America Corp. and OSG USA Inc. teamed up to highlight the benefits of proper speed applied to high-quality tooling. For the project, they machined their respective company logos onto a coin to showcase the intricate geometries and engravings that are possible with microtooling. They used a window machining process, along with NSK America’s HES510-CAT50 electric spindle and OSG USA’s AE-LNBD-N 1 mm long-neck, ballnose endmill, to achieve an ultrafine surface finish.
