Modernizing the spindle cooling system: Why you should switch now

To ensure that the machining spindle of your CNC machine functions reliably for the long term, we offer modernization of the spindle cooling system for your.

  • Modernisation of active spindle cooling | HOMAG Service
    Active cooling system - ideally suited for machines with 5-axis spindles, an increased machining volume and high ambient temperature
  • Modernisation of passive spindle cooling | HOMAG Service
    Passive cooling system - ideally suited for machines with 4-axis spindles and a plate material of up to 19 mm

This modernization not only gives you improved cooling functions, but also increases the operational reliability of your machine. 

You will benefit from this…

  • Longer service life of the machining spindle due to improved cooling properties
  • Reduced downtimes due to less contamination of the cooling system
  • Separate cooling of the main spindle independent of the vacuum technology used
  • More economical usage thanks to a savings of approx. 90% in corrosion protection agent and its disposal

The high service costs, unnecessary disposal costs and high susceptibility to faults are a thing of the past. 

Spindle cooling is available as an active or passive cooling unit. 

Usage and advantages of the active cooling system

Active spindle cooling is particularly suitable for 5-axis spindles as well as for increased machining volumes and the primary processing of solid wood. We also recommend active spindle cooling when the spindle is subject to heavy loads and/or high ambient temperatures.

The advantages are...

  • Fewer breakdowns thanks to sophisticated technology
  • Spare parts availability guaranteed for several years
  • Closed cooling system protects against dust particles
  • Faster servicing and lower costs thanks to a smaller amount of coolant (approx. 7 liters in the storage tank)
  • Even distribution of coolant thanks to flow monitor
  • Can also be used at higher ambient temperatures (up to 43° C)
  • Air conditioning compressor that precisely regulates the preset temperature

Usage and advantages of the passive cooling system

Passive spindle cooling is ideally suited for machines with 4-axis spindles with normal machining volumes and processing of sheet material up to 19 mm.

The advantages are...

  • Fewer breakdowns thanks to sophisticated technology
  • Spare parts availability guaranteed for several years
  • Closed cooling system protects against dust particles
  • Faster servicing and lower costs thanks to a smaller amount of coolant (approx. 7 liters in the storage tank)
  • Even distribution of coolant thanks to flow monitor
