Currently most Makino spindles are equipped with special bearings and other perishable
components that are needed to support a recirculating lubricating system. As this adds to thermal
stability it leaves the spindle vulnerable to failure and frequent leaks. These failures happen
because many wear items needed to flow the oil through the center of the spindle breakdown over
time and then flood your entire lube system with coolant and other contaminants, destroying
spindles and other expensive parts of the machine. We have repaired many
spindles because one low priced o-ring failed at the mating face of the customers tooling and
flooded
the system with coolant. Motor City sees and repairs hundreds of different spindles and designs.
We have applied this knowledge to redesign this problematic area to show added value and cost
savings to our customers. The #1 rule of spindle life is to protect the precision bearings from
outside contaminants and properly lubricate them. Motor City's Spindle’s new design does just
that. We have taken the most effective proven designs that exist in the machine tool world and
applied it to the Makino spindle.
Motor City is performing this conversion without any retrofit or changes to be implemented on the
machine end. The new lubrication system is housed in the standard spindle assembly and all
hoses and hookups remain the same. This enables you the customer; to install the spindle as
before and gain the following benefits:
Design Advantages
#1 Parts required for future repairs are standard product vs Proprietary OEM.
a) allowing customer to use any outside repair service including in-house
#2 Oil is no longer routed through shaft and drawbar assembly.
a) eliminates contamination from draw bar wear components (normally enter directly into the
spindle bearings)
b) eliminates the chance for leaks from the spindle into part coolant
c) eliminates coolant to enter and contaminate the main lube system damaging, spindle and other
vital machine components.
#3 Use of standard through tool coolant union and standard draw bar components.
a) ability to service draw bar without spindle removal and service
b) low cost replacement of coolant union
c) elimination of wear components in draw bar system
#4 Known spindle lubrication system with safety controls.
a) Bijur lubrication system is a known leader in spindle lubrication
b) this standard system has alarm protection and keeps positive air flow to protect spindle from
contaminants.
c) direct injection meters the exact needed amount of oil for spindle lubrication
#5 Increased spindle life.
a) due to clean filtered oil delivered directly to spindle bearings
b) elimination of recalculated oil
c) elimination of oil passed through wear components
#6 Ease of retrofit.
a) no need of machine alteration
b) all hook ups and installation procedures are unchanged
HyperFormance
HyperFormance™ Air/Oil Lubricating System delivers high-efficiency lubrication and cooling for
high-speed spindles and other surfaces requiring accurate oil deliveries. The advanced design
delivers precise amounts of lubricant and eliminates residual drift of "oil fog" or mist during
operation.
The HyperFormance system can deliver small or large air flows to bearings and handles a wide
range of oil viscosities. Integrated package provides clean, regulated air and oil flow to bearings
Individual, controlled air flow to each point Mixing block injectors deliver precise oil output Modular
system - add or change components as required Customized kits available for special applications
