Spindle Cutting Performance

LJ-855 is equipped with 11/15 kW high-power spindle motor, which can burst 95 Nm torque under 30-minute rated output. This power configuration specifically handles the roughing stage of H13 die-casting mold steel. When using a 50 mm diameter right-angle milling cutter disk, speed is set at 800 rpm, single cutting depth reaches 1.2 mm, feed speed maintained at 1200 mm/min.

This high torque output guarantees the machine tool's spindle speed fluctuation rate is lower than 3% when facing high hardness materials. Even when the load reaches 80%, the motor still can provide constant cutting force. Chips produced by heavy cutting present blue-purple curled shape, indicating heat is carried away by chips, spindle end radial runout measured stays within 0.003 mm range.

12,000 rpm direct-coupled spindle omits the traditional belt transmission structure, completely eliminating belt vibration and slipping under high speed. When processing S136 mirror steel, spindle noise in high speed interval is controlled below 75 decibels.

Internal integrated oil cooling system of the machine tool, through 1.5 kW cooling capacity, locks the spindle bearing temperature at environment temperature plus or minus 1 degree Celsius. In continuous 18-hour uninterrupted cutting, spindle box thermal elongation is suppressed at around 0.008 mm. This temperature control mechanism avoids tool depth error caused by thermal deformation.

Aiming at tiny rib processing of precision connector molds, the spindle supports using 0.5 mm diameter micro-diameter ball end mills. At 10,000 rpm speed, because of adopting dual-face contact BBT40 interface, the vibration amplitude at the tool tip part is controlled at micron level. Residual allowance at corner clearing is uniform, the step difference at mold-closing position is usually smaller than 0.005 mm.

The four-nozzle cooling ring equipped at the spindle front end, sprays 60 liters of cutting fluid per minute, high pressure water flow directly reaches the cutting point. For deep cavity processing exceeding 100 mm, chips will be instantly flushed away, preventing secondary cutting from scratching the cavity surface. Air curtain sealing function constantly outputs 0.15 MPa air pressure during spindle rotation, blocking fine dust from penetrating into the bearing.

The spindle driver adopts high-precision vector control technology, torque improvement in low speed interval is significant. When processing quenched materials with hardness as high as HRC52, the spindle can also maintain abundant thrust at 500 rpm.

When processing 400x400 mm multi-hole plate parts, point-to-point positioning time under G00 command shortened by 30%. Drilling processes that previously needed 12 minutes can now be finished within 8 minutes, measured cycle time significantly optimized.

Supporting the displacement speed is the 40mm diameter C3 grade precision ground ball screw. To prevent accuracy drift caused by friction heat produced by high-speed movement, both ends of the screw adopt pre-stretching process, and forced cooling circulation is added at the bearing seats. After 4 hours of large travel reciprocating movement, positioning error is still suppressed at 0.006 mm level.

X/Y/Z three axes all choose 35mm specification high rigidity roller guides. Compared to traditional friction guides, roller structure reduces friction coefficient to below 0.003, ensuring that in the process of high frequency starting and braking, the bed will not produce shaking that interferes with the tool tip trajectory, effectively protecting the integrity of the cutting edges.

Using R1 ball end mill with 0.05 mm step to sweep flat surface, LJ-855 can maintain stable 4500 mm/min cutting feed. Curved surface has no visible pause points, surface roughness Ra stabilized at 0.4 microns.

Heat exchange system inside the electrical cabinet stabilizes temperature at 35 degrees Celsius, preventing servo drivers from overheating due to high-frequency switching loss of high speed operation. Three-axis grating scale signal feedback frequency as high as 20MHz, real-time corrected the physical position backlash of the screw under high speed status, maintaining long-term processing stability.

Stability performance guarantees the mold parting surface, after high speed cutting, still possesses 0.01 mm alignment accuracy.

Aiming at large amounts of clearance processing of 3C category molds, rapid move logic will automatically optimize path. System skips blank areas without cutting, highest air travel speed can reach 48m/min. In processing a set of mobile phone shell mold middle frames, high displacement performance allowed the overall delivery cycle to be shortened by about 4 hours.

After 2000 hours of continuous air running test, screw bearing operation noise maintained at 68 decibels. This indicates that the high speed transmission chain's wear margin is sufficient, capable of handling production pressure of high intensity mold workshops.

Z-axis travel 550 mm, during rapid-cut feed can instantly lift tool to avoid mold base fixing pressure plates. Spindle box and guide contact length ratio reaches 1.2:1, preventing head-up deviation during high speed tool lifting. In hole processing with high depth-to-diameter ratio, sensitive retraction action protected slender drills from brittle fracture.
