High-Speed Spindles
IBAG North America designs and manufactures high-speed motor spindles with speeds up to 170,000 RPM and power levels up to 130 HP. These spindles enhance precision and productivity for milling, grinding, and drilling applications across industries. Our systems integrate seamlessly with CNC machines, offering hybrid ceramic bearings and micro oil-air lubrication for extended operational life.
Vacuum Workholding
We distribute Witte vacuum workholding solutions, including chucks, pumps, and modular systems for CNC machining. These systems provide secure clamping of small to large workpieces, ensuring accuracy in high-speed milling and turning operations. Custom configurations address specialized manufacturing challenges like aerospace component production.
Spindle Repair
Our Connecticut facility offers factory-authorized repair services for IBAG spindles, including bearing replacement, balancing, and vibration testing. We service all spindle typesmicro, small, medium, and largewith rapid turnaround to minimize production downtime for clients in critical industries.
CNC Retrofitting
We retrofit existing CNC machines with high-speed spindle systems, enabling manufacturers to achieve production efficiencies without replacing entire machines. Our engineers evaluate applications to select optimal spindle power, speed, and tooling configurations for specific machining requirements.
Tooling Systems
We supply tool holders, chillers, and lubrication systems to complement high-speed spindle operations. These accessories prevent thermal expansion, ensure proper bearing lubrication, and maintain precision in demanding manufacturing environments like medical device production.
Questions
What industries benefit from IBAG's high-speed spindles?
Our spindles serve aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics, and defense industries requiring precision machining of materials like aluminum, composites, and medical-grade metals.
Do you offer repair services for non-IBAG spindle systems?
We specialize in factory-authorized repairs for IBAG spindles only, though we may evaluate other systems on a case-by-case basis.
Can Witte vacuum systems handle irregularly shaped parts?
Yes. Our vacuum chucks—including grid-type, porous, and freeze chucks—accommodate complex geometries and materials from foils to heavy-duty components.
What customization options exist for vacuum workholding?
We provide dedicated chuck designs for small parts, high-accuracy applications, and specialized processes like friction-stir welding or semiconductor wafer inspection.
How does IBAG support CNC machine integration?
Our engineers assess your application, select compatible spindle systems, and handle mechanical/electrical integration with existing CNC controls for seamless operation.
What spindle speed ranges do you offer?
We provide micro spindles up to 170,000 RPM, small spindles up to 80,000 RPM, and large spindles up to 30,000 RPM, tailored to specific machining needs.
