Spindle Motor
The belt-driven spindle motor and spindle are coupled using a no-slippage gear belt. The
motor is fully enclosed, uses forced-air cooling, and has no brushes to inspect or replace.
To allow the machining of a variety of parts, the spindle RPM is specified in the part
program. A manual spindle speed override on the control console permits fine-tuning of
the spindle RPM for a specific machining cycle, without changing the part program.
