Titespot® Angle Heads | How They Work

Titespot® – The Proven Solution

Eliminate secondary operations. Improve accuracy. Reduce tool and set-up costs.

Titespot® angle heads are a proven solution to the old problem of right angle machining in confined areas. They utilize your high pressure coolant system to drive an integral positive displacement ball piston motor. As shown in the illustration, the motor powers a drive shaft , in turn driving the head’s spindle. Exhausted coolant is directed at and through the cutting tool.

Because the Titespot angle head has its own power source (the coolant), your machine’s spindle is free to function as an indexer, allowing multi-position machining with one head and set-up. A simple modification of your M19 spindle orientation on machines with a rigid tapping program lets you index our angle head through a full 360 degrees. Titespot heads load easily from your ATC, and unlike mechanically driven heads, no C-axis or stop block is required. In fact adding a Titespot Angle Head to your tooling package is virtually like adding a C-axis to your machining center.

Because Titespot Angle Heads do not require bearings for support, they clamp rigidly into the spindle, allowing for more compact design with minimum deflection. Titespot Angle Heads can machine in bores as small as 5/8″16mm in diameter and have been manufactured in lengths up to 36 inches914 millimeters.
