SKF kit carries out eight checks on spindle performance
SKF has introduced its spindle assessment kit solution for condition monitoring and quality control.
A number of variables can affect machine tool performance, including running accuracy, vibration, thermal behaviour and rigidity. The SKF spindle assessment kit, which provides eight different condition tests, brings convenience to the assessment of machine tool performance. The results enable users to understand why their spindle might be working incorrectly or inefficiently. The kit also allows users to accurately recalibrate a spindle.
The kit comprises an SKF Microlog Advisor Pro unit, an acceleration sensor, laser tachometer, dial gauge with stand, belt tension gauge and software package. A high resolution LCD display colour-codes data into green/yellow/red results. A high impact IP65 dust and splash rating case makes the system suitable for a range of operating conditions.
The kit provides over eight hours of continuous operation time as standard.
