Fukudaco Coolant-Driven Spindle ColibriJet
Manufacturer: Fukudaco
Existing spindles transform into high-speed spindles.
Improve production efficiency without introducing new machinery.
Applications
- High-speed rotation for spindles in existing machines
- Finishing processes (cutting, drilling, engraving, chamfering, etc.)
Features
- Attaches to the tip of a center-through spindle like a tool holder
- Operating speed range: 35,000 rpm to 55,000 rpm or 25,000 rpm to 50,000 rpm
- Coolant pressure: 2 MPa to 4 MPa or 4 MPa to 7 MPa
- Compatible with various tool interfaces
- Real-time speed monitoring
Overview of Coolant-Driven Jet Spindles
ColibriJet uses coolant supplied by a machine with a center-through coolant function at a pressure of 2-4 MPa to spin its internal turbine up to 55,000 rpm. This boosts production efficiency without the need for new machinery.
- The spindle rotates using the flow of coolant
- Recommended for finishing and semi-finishing processes
- Easily attachable to standard existing machines
- Reduces machining time with high-speed rotation
- Upgrades existing machinery
- Compatible with various tool interfaces

Compatible Tool Interfaces Examples
In addition to the examples listed below, various other tool interfaces are also supported.
Compact Design and Tool Magazine Compatibility
The ColibriJet spindle’s compact body allows for easy mounting in tool magazines. It is compatible with various tool interfaces such as BT40 and HSK-A63. Utilizing these interfaces, the ColibriJet spindle can be mounted in the tool magazine and automatically attached to the main spindle via automatic tool change (ATC).
- Due to its compact body, it can be mounted on the tool magazine.
- The ColibriJet spindle is compatible with various tool interfaces, such as BT40 and HSK-A63.
- By using the interface, the ColibriJet spindle can be mounted on the tool magazine and attached to the main spindle through automatic tool change (ATC).
