APO-GEE, the deep-tech start-up specializing in advanced bearing engineering, introduces the Cobweb bearing for spindles, an innovation featuring a unique auto-adaptive geometry that delivers both high-speed capability and high-load resistance, within a single bearing.
In the world of machine tool spindles, two trends dominate:
- High-speed operations, faster cuts without sacrificing accuracy or surface quality.
- Multi-purpose machining, versatility to handle a wide range of materials and cutting conditions, all in one setup.
Bearings have followed accordingly, enabling higher speeds, better precision, and lower energy consumption. However, a fundamental limitation remains: the need to choose between high speed for finishing operations and high load capacity for heavy machining. Different bearings. Different setups. Or settle for an unsatisfactory compromise.
This limitation is now addressed through the development of the Cobweb bearing, an innovation by APO-GEE featuring a unique self-adaptive geometry that eliminates the traditional compromise between speed and load. It delivers both more finishing capability (speed), and more cutting power (load). In one bearing. One spindle. One solution.
