Precision and Power

SycoTec supplies high-frequency spindles for diverse applications worldwide. With maintenance-free hybrid ball bearings, stainless steel housings, and motor protection, they ensure maximum performance even under harsh conditions. Moreover, the standout feature lies in their compact, high-power design, achieved through the use of high-density high-frequency motors that they design and manufacture in-house. Consequently, SycoTec offers the ideal spindle for a variety of applications, ensuring both precision and power in every use.

Optimal power density with in-house designed and manufactured high-frequency motors

In spindle design, the built-in motor is a crucial element. By increasing power density, it is possible to design a compact motor. A compact motor allows the spindle to be smaller and lighter while still delivering high output. The SycoTec motor spindle 4064 DC-HSK25 is a prime example of this. With a body diameter of just 60 mm, the spindle houses a motor that delivers up to 5,000 W of power.

Main Fields of Use and Applications

Machine Tools

Manufacturers widely use SycoTec spindles for light-load metalworking with small-diameter tools. They employ them not only with end mills and drills but also for internal grinding and engraving with small grinding wheels.

Over the years, models like the 4060 AC and 4041 AC have been integral to machine tools.

Recently, the latest lineup, including the 4033 DC-T series, offers a wide speed range (5,000 to 60,000 rpm) and high output. This makes them ideal for a broad range of applications with small-diameter tools.

In Europe, there is a notable trend of using high-speed machining with small-diameter tools to reduce machining time. This approach contrasts with the traditional use of large-diameter tools at low speeds. The benefit of this method is twofold: despite the smaller tool size, the lower machining load extends the life of both the tools and the bearings.

Medical and Dental

Drive systems used in modern dental and medical technology processes must meet many requirements beyond precision, such as efficiency and cost. For over half a century, SycoTec has been involved in various drive systems for the dental industry, consistently providing cutting-edge technology. One of their significant contributions is their powerful high-frequency drive systems, which play a crucial role in creating dental prosthetics from materials such as plastic, ceramic, or metal. These systems ensure rapid, safe, and reliable execution of numerous dental applications and instruments, including CAD/CAM systems. The 4033 AC series is particularly used for this purpose.

Electronic Circuit Boards

Today, all devices rely on electronic components. From fully-automated coffee makers to smartphones, computers, internet-enabled TVs, and automobiles, electronic components are used in products that directly impact our daily lives. Consequently, the machining of electronic circuit boards is recognized as a crucial technology worldwide, with continuous development efforts. SycoTec is also actively engaged in developing spindles that are ideal for machining electronic circuit boards. Notably, the SycoTec 4025 has been a long-standing bestseller in this field.

Key spindles used for this application include the 4033 AC-ESD and 4041 HY-ESD-BW, which feature technology to prevent spindle shaft electrostatic discharge (ESD). These spindles use carbon brushes to make contact with the shaft, allowing any electrical charge on the shaft to flow into the spindle housing, thereby preventing discharge onto the circuit boards.

Robotics

Robotic applications open up entirely new possibilities for industrial production. They enhance the flexibility and efficiency of manufacturing processes, execute complex machining tasks, and operate in environments unsuitable for humans. However, spindles used in manufacturing robots must be both powerful and lightweight. SycoTec offers a wide range of motor spindles, particularly in the output range of 1,050 to 5,000 W, providing drives that meet these needs. For this application, the 4060 ER, 4060 ER-S, and 50100 AC-duo models are employed. Thanks to SycoTec spindles’ high power density, they deliver lightweight yet powerful performance, making them ideal for robotic use.

Advertising Design

SycoTec’s spindles are also making a significant impact in the advertising field. When cutting materials are used in advertising, lightweight and powerful spindles are essential. For this application, the 4064 DC-HSK25 is recommended. Despite having a body diameter of just φ60 mm, this spindle can deliver a maximum output of 5000 W and reach speeds up to 50,000 rpm. This allows it to cut through various materials used in advertising, from resin and glass to stainless steel.
