Milling Machine Heads 5 to 15 Hp. |
| This series of heavy heads will not fit the ram of a Bridgeport or the Taiwan made clones. It can be adapted to heavier mills or special machines. The included electonics cabinet can be mounted on the side or back of the the machine. The head is fully wired and ready to go. The back geared heads are most popular because they deliver much more torque at low rpm. Top speed is 6,000 RPM. CAT-V-40, BT-40 These heads are ideal for upgrading quill type CNC machines because they can be controlled by most CNCs. We use the same vector drives on our CNC mills and machining centres They can be configured for CNC control of spindle speeds. E stop buttons are now standard as shown on the picture. We now install a circuit to shut down the fan on the inverter motor when the spindle is not running to help a quieter shop environment. Click here to download the heads catalog.

 Cabinet mounted on the side of the column |
 Showing a typical electronics cabinet with cooling fan and air filter, relay, and inverter drive. All connections to the head are done. You just need to mount the head on the side or back of the column and have you electrician bring power into the cabinet. |
| This is the 5 to 7-1/2 Hp head suitable for fitting to our Topwel, some Hurco, Webb and Kent machines. It is pictured with an Amercian made Hi-Torque power draw bar. Back geared head 15 to 750 rpm and 100 to 6,000 rpm |

This diagram shows the moving parts in the top half of the GL head. It is in fact a lot like today's modern machining centers with the drive train consisting of 1) the motor shaft and pulley 2) the drive belt 3) the spindle pulley and splined coupling 4) The spindle itself ( not shown ) There are about 85 fewer moving parts. Maintenance is near zero and is normally only a replacement of the timing belt after years of service. The RG verson of the head has a back gear for very high torque at low speeds. |
