BENZ Inc. Introduces New High-speed Spindle
Speeders
1888PressRelease - Benz Inc. introduces two new
high-speed spindle speeders, Type SL and Type
SLI. These high-performance spindle speeders
increase the rpms on standard machine tool
machining center spindles, boosting both output
and productivity. Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill,
NC-SC - German tooling systems expert BENZ now
offers high-speed spindle speeders for the wood,
metal and composites industries. Engineered in
Germany, BENZ tooling systems are sold and
serviced in the United States and Canada from its
North American headquarters in Charlotte,
N.C. "BENZ high-speed spindles provide solutions
for all applications where the existing machine's
rpms and the resulting cutting speeds do not
allow for efficient production," explained John
Roasa, National Sales Manager of the metal
division at BENZ Inc. "The addition of BENZ
high-performance spindle speeders increases the
rpms on standard machine tool machining center
spindles, boosting both output and
productivity." Primarily designed for high-speed
drilling, BENZ high-speed spindles are also
suitable for precise machining and slight
millworking without any specific surface
hardness. They offer increased surface finish and
milling capabilities and are capable of running
ceramic end mills.

BENZ offers high-speed spindles in two different
variations, Type SL and Type SLI. Type SL is
available with jacket cooling, which reduces
operating temperature and results in consistent
operating parameters. Type SLI, equipped with an
internal coolant system and a jacket cooling
system, increases in-use speeds by thousands,
with a 15 ratio, and is designed for tools with
a cooling channel and an internal coolant supply.
Those equipped with coolant can operate at up to
40,000 rpms and coolant pressure up to 80 bar,
while those without coolant can run at up to
18,000 rpms. All BENZ high-speed spindles are
self-cooling and engineered for an unlimited duty
cycle. They also deliver improved stability and
less vibration, with optimized temperature and
weight. An exchangeable torque arm holds the
spindle in position and avoids twisting, which
makes BENZ high-speed spindles highly flexible.
Their tools can be changed automatically with a
Stop Block machine tool changer, or manually by
installing a block or pin to keep the torque arm
from rotating. BENZ Inc., a member of the Zimmer
Group, is the technological leader for the
production of innovative machining heads for the
wood, plastics, composites and metalworking
industries. The company manufactures tooling
systems in Germany and offers sales and support
for the United States and Canada through its
subsidiary, BENZ Inc., headquartered in
Charlotte, N.C. For more information on BENZ
