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 "Zoom" at right, the motor powers a drive shaft in turn driving the heads 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. It's virtually like adding an axis of motion to your machine tool.

Unlike mechanically driven heads, Titespot® angle heads do not need a stop-block and do not depend on large bearings for housing support. Our angle head clamps rigidly into the spindle, allowing for more compact design with minimum deflection. In fact, Titespot® angle heads can machine in bores as small as
one inch 
25.4 millimeters 
in diameter and have been manufactured in lengths up to
24 inches. 
610 millimeters.
