90° angle head ALBERTI

for industry

Our exclusive new angle head range, developed and manufactured in conjunction with our partner Alberti SRL, brings the accuracy and performance of NIKKEN’s SK (Slim Chuck) 8 degree spindle taper, TiN Bearing Nut and 8 degree precision collet to the output spindle of an angle head. With a run-out guarantee of 5µm at 4 x diameter the solution provides substantially increased capabilities over than of similar ER based solutions. Our input spindles are manufactured entirely in one single piece of hardened steel, which increases resistance to bending stresses by up to 25%. All spindles are completely finished ground and individually balanced to G6.3 to provide the possibility of higher running speeds without the risk of vibration. For the main body, we choose high-quality GS600 stabilised spheroidal cast iron which provides improved vibration dampening and absorption. By its nature, in a similar vein to our rotary table castings, it also provides increased thermal stability and rigidity when compared to other materials such as steel and aluminium. The cast is 100% machined inside and out and features chromed external finish and ground internals for the bearing housings. The body also features a unique lapped guide surface to provide straight forward alignment when setting up the head in the machine. Our output spindles, featuring NIKKEN SK internal 8-degree taper, are manufactured from hardened alloy steel with a double labyrinth seal. Completely ground on every surface with a manufacturing tolerance better than 5 microns to ensure life and longevity for the cutting tool.
