Keep Up with Production Pressure with Air Turbine Live Tools®

Faster Production with a Finer Finish using High Speed Air Turbine Live Tools®

Achieve the Proper Surface
Footage for Micro Tooling

Air Turbine Live Tools® run at high fixed speeds and can operate on any lathe without changing your RPM. Simply change your feed rate to get your desired chip load and get the proper surface footage for micro tooling.

We eliminate the control box, wiring, high frequency brushes and programming complexity. There’s no oil or lubrication, too. Quicker and simpler than traditional live tool spindles.

Simple Installation

Air Turbine Live Tools® are quicker and simpler than traditional live tool spindles; only requiring 90 psi /6.2 bar dry compressed air to operate. There is no control box, wiring, oil lubrication or program complexity to worry about.

Just mount the tool into your lathe’s boring bar holder and connect the 90 psi/6.2 bar air to the included filter.

The Air-Powered Patented Direct Drive

Air Turbine Live Tools deliver a constant high speed, maintained by the patented governor. Unlike “nominal RPM” spindles, these tools maintain the high cutting speed while under load.

How does it work? Compressed 90 psi/6.2 bar air powers the motor mechanism, which has only two moving parts:

1.
The proprietary governed turbines.
2.
The air-cooled steel grease packed bearings.

This results in less friction, low vibration, no thermal expansion and no duty cycle. The governor control delivers power on demand and minimizes air consumption. Air Turbine Live Tools® have power on demand with up to 0.4 HP (0.3 kW).

Drastically reduce your production time while improving your surface finishes and increasing your tool life.

Keep up with Production Pressure with 80,000 RPM Air Turbine Live Tools®

Real High Speed is Not "Nominal RPM"

At 80,000 RPM Air Turbine Live Tools® increase feed rates 6 – 10x. Speed up your off-center cuts and exponentially increase the production from your lathes by easily machining titanium or steel.

Our constant high speed in cut will improve your surface finishes and increase tool life while reducing production time.

2 Micron precision delivers the finer finished surfaces with no feed lines. Our technology is very different from nominal high speed spindles that drop immediately on tool engagement.
