Hessapp Spindles – Powerful vertical technology for maximum precision
Hessapp Spindle Systems – Performance in Continuous Industrial Operation
It seems to be a tradition at Hessapp to prioritize the long-term process stability and robustness of its machines over flashy marketing headlines. Among industry experts, however, Hessapp is known as a pioneer that set new standards as early as the beginning of the 1990s with its suspended motor spindles. Anyone familiar with the industry knows that Hessapp machines machine workpieces with swing diameters ranging from 250 mm to 2,000 mm while maintaining a level of precision that remains unmatched even in the heavy-duty machining of railroad wheels or wind turbine gearboxes. As a global technology leader, Hessapp stands out with spindle components that impress with their extreme rigidity and durability in the demanding realities of daily production.
The Features of Hessapp Vertical Spindles
Three factors in particular make Hessapp spindles so exceptional. First is the innovative pick-up concept. In this design, the spindles not only serve as a rotating drive but also handle workpiece transport. This multifunctional load places the highest demands on the bearings and dynamic stability, which Hessapp meets through a robust, solid-construction design.
The second factor is precision during workpiece transfer. In the DVT series, the spindles enable direct transfer of the workpiece while it is clamped, without any loss of position. This drastically reduces the long-term costs of purchasing a machine for manufacturing companies, as it eliminates the need for complex turning stations and significantly improves accuracy during subsequent machining.
The third factor is their high suitability for heavy-duty machining. Hessapp spindles are designed to withstand massive process forces without compromising concentricity. The design is specifically engineered for easy maintenance and long service life. In the rare event that one of our in-house service technicians needs to maintain or repair a Hessapp spindle, the work on these well-designed and accessible models is always performed professionally. This reduces downtime and enables cost-effective repairs even for heavily loaded units.
This is what Hessapp spindles look like from the inside
The design of a Hessapp spindle is optimized for maximum power transmission and stability:
- Suspended motor spindles: Optimized for pick-and-place operations and automated loading.
- Heavy-duty bearings: Designed for high radial and axial process forces during heavy-duty machining.
- Integrated clamping technology: High-precision chuck mounting for precise workpiece transfer.
- Cooling system: Effective dissipation of process heat to ensure long-term accuracy.
