1.2 Intended use

(1.2 45f ce)
The electro spindle is almost a machine intended to be incorporated in machines for machining of light alloys,
wood and materials with similar physical characteristics for professional use.
For proper assembly and use of the bi-rotational head in machines designed to accept it, we must take into
account the technical specifications for the product contained herein.
The electro spindle is not suitable to be placed in areas classified as at risk of explosion according to
European directive 99/92/EC.
The electro spindle:

- Must be powered by an electric current supplied by a sinusoidal static frequency converter or inverter;
- Should only be used with a tool holder and the tool balanced together as one unit with G2, 5 grade
at the maximum rotation speed (RPM) or better according to ISO 1940/1;
- Must be equipped exclusively with tool holders:
- Models HSK: HSK tool holder with dimensions and tolerances according to DIN 69893;
- Models ISO: ISO tool holder with dimensions and tolerances according to DIN 69871-1;
- Compliant all the specifications presented in Chapter 6;
The operator must select the electro spindle speed in order that is lower than:
- The max permitted speed of the tool holder;
- The max electro spindle spindle speed;
- the max permitted speed of the electro spindle selected according the tool type and dimensions.
See tables on paragraph 6.6.1.
The machine:
- Must have an interlock between the start up of the electro spindle and secure tool change;
- Must have an interlock between the function of tool change and the actual braking of rotating group;
- Must stop the electric power in the event of an alarm or emergency, the power must be then restored
manually.
The manufacturer is not in any way responsible for damages caused to the machine or the electro
spindle by incorrect application or design choices.
1.3 Risk related to the use of the product

(1.3 45f ce)
HITECO does not know and cannot know how the electro spindle is being installed, therefore the installer or
customer must conduct a risk analysis, specifically in relation to the type of installation.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that there is an adequate degree of protection against the risk of
accidental body contact with moving parts and tools.
The installer and the machine operator must also be aware of other types of risks, particularly those arising from
the entry of foreign bodies, introduction of explosive gasses, flammable, and/or toxic at high temperatures.
Also to be considered are the risks involved in maintenance operations that must take place in conditions of
maximum security by isolating the electro spindle and ensuring that the tool is stationary.
At the end of the choices and depending on how the installation of the electro spindle is defined and carried out by
the installer and/or customer, the ultimate machine may be considered as "finished machine" within the meaning of
the Machinery Directive. An overall assessment of the risks must be made and the declaration of conformity in
accordance with Annex IIA to Directive 2006/42/EC must be drawn up.

6.4 Device for locking and toolholder expulsion

(6.4 45f ce)
The electric spindle is equipped with HSK 63F collet to grip the toolholder.
During the working the collet is hold open by a pack of cup springs.
Electrospindle model Axial force on tool Axial force on cup Toolholder

springs disengagement
HSK 63F 11 kN 3100 N 0,8±0,1 mm
During the electrospindle life the efficiency of the disc washer stack can decrease
due to the degradation of the frictional behaviour (vibrations, heat) and to the
mechanical wear of the springs. As a consequence the pull-in force generated on
the tool decreases. It is required to check the pull-in force generated on the tool
afther 500000 tool change cycle. The inspection has to be made afther clieaning
and lubricating the collet in according to the procedure showed on chap.
7 "Planned maintenance" If the pull-in force is lower than 8 kN AFTHER cleaning
and lubrication of the collet the electrospindle as to be send to the service for inspection.
Passed the 500000 tool change cycles the pull-in inspection have to be performed
each 150000 cycles.
The inspection have to be performed by a trained technician designated by Hiteco.
29L0036745F
IF THE PULL-IN FORCE INSPECTIONS AREN'T COMPLY WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
OR ELECTROSPINDLES MALFUNCTIONS MAY OCCOUR.
To get the optimal axial force to hold the tool, keep the instructions for cleaning and
lubricating the electric spindle collet and all toolholder tapers see Chapter 7 "Programmed maintenance".
The toolholder loosening occurs by a pneumatic cylinder with double effect with double
loosening hamber and single return chamber. During the working the cylinder stem is lifted
by the rotating part of the electric spindle, so the tool is hold by the springs pack above mentioned.
29L0036745F
6.5 Tool
(6.5 45f ce)
The balancing degree of the tools must meet the requirements indicated in par. 6.5 when they are
fitted as a unit to the toolholder.
The dynamic balancing degree of the tools must be G=1 mm/s (Norm ISO 1940)at the
highest speed indicated by the manufacturer on the tool according to Norm 847-1.
The total mass of the tool (taper+tool+fastening elements) can't exceed 10 Kg.
Keep the following prescriptions:

- always use sharp tools;
- clamp the tool in the relative toolholder in the proper way;
- do not use damaged and/or unbalanced tools ;
- if ring nuts and elastic collets areused to clamp the tool in the toolholder,
make sure that all coupling surfaces are clean and free from dents.
For selecting the tool form:

- reduce the tool length as much as possible;
- reduce the distance of the cutting edges from the rotation axis;
- use tools with body made of light alloy when possible, to reduce the mass.
Select the tool speed according to its dimensions by using the tables in par. 6.5.1.
IF THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE ROTATIONAL SPEED

SETTING AREN'T COMPLY WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR ELECTROSPINDLES
Select the feed speed so that:
- it is proper for the power available for the electric spindle;
- it is proper for the required finishing degree;
- no dangerous vibrations rise on the machine and/or on the workpiece during the working.
29L0036745F
6.6 Toolholder unit (taper + tool + fastening elements)

(6.6 45f ce)
- HSK toolholder taper shall comply with the Norm DIN69893.

- The balancing is to be carried out with assembled toolholder unit (toolholder taper +
fastening elements).
- At the highest tool use speed, the dynamic balancing degree of the toolholder unit shall
be G 6.3 mm/s or better(see Norm ISO 1940).
- At the max speed of the tool the Value of the dynamic balancing of the toolholder
group has to be less than G 2,5 mm/s or better (see standard ISO 1940).
It is forbidden to use toolholder units which do not comply with the conditions above mentioned:
if these instructions are not kept, the tool rupture and ejection with dangerous risks for the user
are possible.
- Keep the conic surfaces of the toolholder and of its seat on the shaft del lean and lubricated to enable the safe
fitting (see Chapter 7 - "Programmed maintenance").
- Avoid the contact of the non-cutting rotating parts with the workpiece being processed and/or present equipment.
- The inside part of the toolholder taper in the sfaft of the electric spindle shall always be protected against
impurities. Eventually use an empty toolholder taper (see par.7.1).
- After the work shift always remove the toolholder taper of the electric spindle and replace it with a toolholder taper
at room temperature to protect the conic seat on the shaft from the external environment (see previous item).
Do not start HSK electric spindles if the the toolholder is not fitted. If these prescription is not
kept, the collet for tool gripping may be damaged.
The use of tools clamped with rig nut and elastic collets for rotation
speed over 24000 Rpm is not permitted.
29L0036745F
6.7 Max. working speed according to the tool size

(6.7 45f ce)
Always use rotation and feed speed as well as tool diameter and length proper for the working.
The operator shall select the electric spindle speed in order that it is LOWER than:
- the max. permitted speed of the tool;
- the max. permitted speed of the toolholder;
- the max. electric spindle speed;
- the max. permitted speed of the electric spindle selected according to the tool
type and dimensions.
This last value is obtained from the tables indicated in the following pages at cross
of corresponding lines and columns according to:
- tool form (disk cutter - shank cutter);
- material of the tool body (steel or aluminium only in case of disk cutter);
- tool length;
- tool diameter.
The tables indicated below refer to the electric spindle performance and have been
calculated with reference to NORMALIZED TOOLS
The balancement tool requirements are presented in chapters 6.6 and 6.6.
IF THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE ROTATIONAL SPEED

SETTING AREN'T COMPLY WITH SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR ELECTROSPINDLES
For calculation requirements the tables may indicate speed values exceeding
the max. electric spindle speed. The rotation speed shall never exceed the
max. electric spindle speed indicated on the identification plate.
The total mass of the tool (taper+tool+fastening elements) can't exceed 10 Kg.
The tables indicated below give the max. working speed of the electric spindle with tool to be
compared wth the max. permitted peed for th tool and for the electric spindle.
These values have been calculated by considering a safety coefficient.
Before beginning the working, preset the working by gradually increasing the rotation speed up to
the value set and obtained according to the instructions already described.
After optimizing the rotation speed, you can gradually increase the feed speed to obtain the proper
value by considering the required finishing degree, the power available for the electric spindle etc.
29L0036745F
The values indicated in the tables are approximate: the user shall evaluate the
highest speed which permits the safe working.

6.7.1 Examples to determine the max. working speed

(6.7.1 45f ce)
Example 1. Steel cylinfrical cutter Ø125 L100 with max. speed of 10000 rpm.
With these data use table T1 "Shank cutter Ø10-30" by taking as a length the value 100 mm and as a
diameter the value 130 mm to ensure safety, obtaining 7952 rpm as max. working speed.
Considering that:
the max. speed of the electric spindle is 24000 rpm;
the max. tool speed is 10000 rpm;
it is possible to set the rotation speed to max 7952 rpm for the required working.
Example 2. Shank cutter Ø14 L60 with max. speed of 25000 rpm.
With these data use table T4 "Shank cutter Ø10-30" by taking as a length the value 60 mm and as a
diameter the value 14 mm, obtaining 30615 rpm as max. working speed.
Considering that:
Example 3. Aluminium profiling cutter Ø max.180, Ø min.110, L 68, body made of light alloy,
mass 3 kg and max. speed 8000 rpm.
If the shaped cutter has more diameters, carry out a preliminary calculation by consering the tool as a
aluminium cylindrical cutter of the same length.
For this purpose it is necessry to know the mass of tool +toolholder unit.
As the tool is made of light alloy, the density may be considered equal to the aluminium p=2700 Kg/m3.
S=M/(p*L)=3/(2700*68/1000)=0,01634 m2=16340 mm2
d=radq(4*S/π)=radq(4*16340/3,14)=144 mm
Note that the diameter obtained is intermediate between the max. value Ø180 and min. value Ø110.
With these data use table T2 "Aluminium cylindrical cutter Ø90-210" by taking as a length 70 mm and as a
diameter 150 mm to ensure the safety, obtaining 14830 rpm as max. working speed.

max. operation safety.
The sensors inside the electric spindle are indicted in the following table.
NAME INFORMATION
S1 Tool correctly locked
S2 Tool holder open
S3 Spindle stopped
S5 Piston back (optional)
Motor thermal protection Motor overheating
Electrofan rotation Electrofan rotation
An incorret adjustement of the sensors S1, S2, S3 o S5 may cause malfunctions

like the ejection of the tool in rotation with risk of wound also deadly for the people.
The procedure to adjust correctly the sensors is shoved on chap. 8 Extraordinary
Maintenance.
All electric spindles are equipped with sensor S3 "standstill shaft" for checking the shaft rotation.
The elctrofanand its rotation sensor is present only in air-cooled electrospindle.
A sensor called "S4" does'nt exist.
29L0036745F
6.8.1 Technical features of inductive sensors

(6.8.1 45f ce)
Sensors S1, S2, S3 e S5 are inductive sensors (proximity sensors)with these features:
Type: PNP Proximity normally open (N.O.)

Power supply voltage 22 ÷ 26 V CC
Rated sensitivity 0.8 mm
Maximum load 200 mA
Input without load < 10 mA
The sensors are protected against:

- short-circuit and overload;
- polarity reversal.
The sensors have a nickel-plated brass envelope to ensure the max. shield protection.
The sensors comply with the norms:

- electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) EN60947-5-2
- shocks and vibrations: IEC 68-2-27 and IEC 68-2-6
29L0036745F
Sensors S1, S2, S3, S5 are inductive proximity sensors with rated working voltage equal to 24V DC.
The sensors may be in two states on the exit terminal.
State "ON": corresponds to an exit voltage of 24V DC.
State "OFF": corresponds to an exit voltage of 0V CC.
6.8.2 Electric spindle state and sensors S1, S2 output and S5

(6.8.2 45f ce)
Sensors S1, and S2 serve for management and checking of the tool in the electric spindle, by signaling to the
machine when the tool has been rightly locked or loosened. If the state of sensor turn OFF during working process,
stop the electrospindle because it is possible danger situations.
S1 S2 S5 (optional)
SENSOR STATE
TOOL LOCKED COLLET OPEN PISTON BACK
TOOL CORRECTLY LOCKED ON OFF ON
TOOL NOT CORRECTLY LOCKED /
OFF OFF ON
WITHOUT TOOL
TOOL RELEASED OFF ON OFF
The wrong adjusting of sensors S1, S2, S3, and S5 may cause troubles like the ejection of the rotating tool
with risk of wounds also deadly for the persons.
For sensor adjusting keep the instructions given later on chapter 8.
The electrospindle can rotate only when sensor S1 "tool locked" is in state ON and sensor S2
"collet open" is in state OFF.
If the sensor S1 state turn to OFF during working process,
stop the electrospindle because it is possible danger situation.
SMB124
It is possible to activate the air blowing for cleaning the taper and/or to leave
the tool from the spindle only when sensor S2 "collet open" is in state "ON". If this instruction is not kept,
the electrc spindle and/or the machine may be damaged.
29L0036745F
6.8.3 Logic use of sensor output

(6.8.3 45f ce)
For defining electro-spindle state regarding tool locked and tool unlocked use following
logic schemes based on signal state of the elctrospindle.
29L0036745F
6.8.4 Sensor S3 output

(6.8.4 45f ce)
Sensor S3 "standstill shaft" gives 3 pulses "ON" and 2 pulses "OFF" at every rotation of the shaft of the electric
spindle see figure.
During the electric spindle rotation the sensor creates a pulse train with variable
frequency according to the rotation speed.
SMB124
Thanks to the electronics on the machine, sensor S3 creates the pulse train also at the
max. speed of the electric spindle. Otherwise the sensor is defective or not rightly set:
adjust the sensor see Chapter 8 "Unusual maintenance".
THIS PULSE TRAIN SHALL BE DECODED BY AN ELECTRONIC POWER UNIT INTO

LOGIC OR ANALOGIC SIGNAL TO INFORM THE CONTROL IF THE ELECTRIC SPINDLE
IS ROTATING.
29L0036745F
SMB124
Sensor S3 decoded by an electronic board is to be managed to avoid the tool change operations
with the shaft still in motion. Keep this procedure both in case of automatic tool change
and in case of manual tool change.
After starting the tool change, ignore the state of sensor
S3 during the operation execution.
All the electrospindles are equipped with sensor S3 "standstill shaft" for checking the shaft rotation.
29L0036745F
6.8.5 Thermal alarm and its management

(6.8.5 45f ce)
The electric spindle is equipped with "Thermal alarm" consisting of a feeler inside the stator winding in oder to open
the control ciruit if the temperature exceeds values which can prejudice the reliability of the electric spindle. In this
case if a power higher than the one delivered by the electric spindle is required by causing the electric spindle
overheating, the information is transferred to the control.
Under normal operation conditions the thermal alarm is closed so the checking circuit is off.
Under non-acceptable operation conditions the thermal alarm opens by interrupting the checking circuit.
When the temperature is normal, the thermal alarm closes the circuit.
The thermal alarm shall be managed by PLC wich must immediately stop:
SMB124
- the machine axes

- the electric spindle if the thermal alarm opens the circuit.
If these informations aren't complyed with it could occour serious acccident to the electro-spinlde
and to the machine whre the electro-spindle is assembled.
6.8.5.1 Technical features of the thermal alarm

(6.8.5.1 45f ce)
Power supply 22 ÷ 26 V CC max.

Insulation voltage 2 kV
Contact resistance (acc. to MIL R 5757) < 50 mΩ
Contact cutoff voltage < 1 ms
6.8.6 Electric fan rotation

(6.8.6 45f ce)
The electric fan is equipped with an integrated sensor hich can create 2 pulses/min of the electric fan. See par.
6.8.2.
29L0036745F
6.9 Electric fan

(6.9 45f ce)
In case of air cooling of the electric spindle, this may be equipped with electric fan to create the
cooling air flow.
The electric fan is arranged in the rear part of the electric spindle see par. 2.3.
The rotation of the electric fan is indipendent fom the electric spindle speed : in this way the
cooling and the noiselessness of the electric spindle are optimal at all speed values.
SMB124
When the machine is on, the electric fan shall ALWAYS be in operation,
even if the electric spindle is still.
6.9.1 Technical feature of the electric fan

(6.9.1 45f ce)
Power supply voltage 24 (22-26) V DC

Rotation speed 6300 RPM minimum
Input 3.5 A maximum
Power 78 W
Protection degree IP 20
Supports On ball bearings
Sensors Rotation signal 4 impulses/rotation
Protections Against polarity inversion, spindle blockage and overload
The electric fan is equipped with a brushless motor with integrated electronics.
As you see in the table, the supply voltage is the same voltage which supplies the proximity
sensors fitted to the electric spindle.
As the rotation speed is directly proportional to the supply voltage, use 24V DC voltage,
stabilized and used for the sensors to ensure the optimal and constant cooling flow.
The electric fan complies with norms against electromagnetic pollution (EMC) EN610000-6-3.
The electric fans are fitted to viration-damping supports made of Silentblok rubber in order

6.9.2 Checking the electric fan

(6.9.2 45f ce)
The electric fan is equipped with a sensor which creates 4 voltage pulses for every turn of the electric fan. It is so
possible to check the right operation of the electric fan by preventing the overheating of the electric spindle.
The sensor supply occurs by the same terminals for the electric fan supply.
To determine the contact connected to the sensor, refer to the table par.4.6.3.
The terminal of the electric fan shall be connected as shown in the figure below.
Connect the signal to a quick input of PLC or to an electronic power unit already preset. A power unit, properly
designed, is available upon request.
The resistance value for the connection is determined according to the voltage of "On" + Ubs and of "Off" Uslow
characteristic of PLC inputs after fixing the Isink current typical of the electric fan.
Ra=( Ubs- Uslow)/Isink
The Insink current value for electric fan on electric spindles E is indicated below.
Isink 2 mA
Example.
If the electric spindle is controlled by a PLC in which state "On" is 24V and state "Off" is 5 V, Ra=(24-
5)/(2/1000)=9500 ohm will result.

Follow scrupulously procedures for setting sensors as described below.
29L0036745F
8.1.5 Adjusting sensor S1 "tool correctly locked"

(8.1.5 45f ce)
Proceed as follows:
A If the tool is present release it from the electro-spindle.

B Disconnect the electro-spindle release pipe E6.
C Insert a pressure regulator on the disconnected pipe and connect the pressure regulator to the
electro-spindle with a piece of pipe E6.
D Place the electro-spindle in release.
E Check the quota of the central core of the HSK gripper face from the tool stop level on the
spindle. The quota must be 10.8±0.1 mm (see 8.1.4).
If the quota differs from this amount adjust the quota by screwing or unscrewing the central
core of the gripper and fixing it with the internal dowel. Perform 5 cycles of lock-release and
recheck the quota. If it differs from the quota set, replace the whole electro-spindle.
F Point a centesimal at the central core of the gripper as shown in the figure (see 8.1.4).
G Gradually reduce the pressure on the release pipe with the regulator: this reduction will move
the central core of the gripper towards the inside of the electro-spindle pulled by
the springs pack.
H Make a note of the quota at which the sensor S1 switches from off to on (THRESHOLD 1) and
from on to off (THRESHOLD 2).
I Rotate the sensor with a screwdriver on the notch found on the eccentric bush so that
THRESHOLD 1 and THRESHOLD 2 are within the respective values shown in the figure.
We recommend concentrating on the THRESHOLD 1 value and checking that the
THRESHOLD 2 value falls within the interval indicated.
L Repeat the operations H and I, if necessary by returning the electro-spindle to the ejection
condition by increasing the supply pressure to the release pipe with the regulator.
M Check the adjustment by inserting an empty tool taper inside the electro-spindle and checking
that sensor S1 is on. If it is not, repeat steps F to L and repeat this step.
N Check the adjustment by inserting 2 0.5 mm shims between the HSK tool holder and electro-
spindle spindle located in diametrically opposed zones in respect of the electro-spindle. In this
condition, the sensor must be off. If it is on repeat steps F to M and repeat this step.
29L0036745F
To make the adjusting easier, use the following circular shims which adjust the radial sensor position.
The spare parts are:
SHIM FOR SENSOR UNIT ORDER CODE
0,05 mm 0336240988A
0,10 mm 0336240989C
The fitting of a shim between a sensor unit and seat on electric spindle means to approach the starting
THRESHOLD 1 and the THRESHOLD 2 for switching off by reducing the distance in mm. The larger the shim is,
the greater the approachment will be.
If there are shims between sensor unit and seat on electric spindle , fit them again when you replace
the sensor unit, then decide if they are to be used during the sensor replacement .
La presence of these shims is necessary owing to the tolerances of the electronics of the proximity sensors.
29L0036745F
8.1.6 Adjusting sensor S2 "collet open"

(8.1.6 45f ce)
Proceed as follows:
A If the tool is present release it from the electro-spindle.

B Disconnect the electro-spindle release pipe E6.
C Insert a pressure regulator on the disconnected pipe and connect the pressure regulator to the
electro-spindle with a piece of pipe E6.
D Place the electro-spindle in release.
E Check the quota of the central core of the HSK gripper from the tool stop level on the spindle.
The quota must be 10,8±0,1 mm (see 8.1.4).
If the quota differs from this amount adjust the quota by screwing or unscrewing the central
core of the gripper and fixing it with the internal dowel. Perform 5 cycles of lock-release and
recheck the quota. If it differs from the quota set, replace the whole electro-spindle.
F Point a centesimal at the central core of the gripper as shown in the figure (see 8.1.4).
G Gradually reduce the pressure on the release pipe with the regulator: this reduction will move
the central core of the gripper towards the inside of the electro-spindle pulled by
the springs pack.
H Make a note of the quota that the sensor S2 switches from off to on (THRESHOLD 1) and from
on to off (THRESHOLD 3).
I Rotate the sensor with a screwdriver on the notch found on the eccentric bush so that
THRESHOLD 3 is within the respective values shown in the figure.
L Repeat the operations H and I, if necessary by returning the electro-spindle to the ejection
condition by increasing the supply pressure to the release pipe with the regulator.
M Check the adjustment by performing lock/release cycles and checking that the sensor S2
switches on and off repeatedly. If it does not repeat steps F to L and repeat this step.
If there are shims between sensor unit and seat on electric spindle, fit them again when you replace
the sensor unit see also par. 8.1.5.
29L0036745F
8.1.7 Sensor "Piston on end of the stroke S5" adjustement

(8.1.7 45f ce)

H Gradually decrease the pressure on the E6 release-tool pipe operating on the regulator: this
reduction will move the piston towards the outside of the cylinder like showed in the picture
above (see the arrow).
I Make a note of the quota at which the sensor S5 switches from off to on (THRESHOLD 5).
L Rotate the sensor with a screwdriver on the notch found on the eccentric bush so that the THRESHOLD
5 is within the respective values shown in the.
M Repeat the operations H, I and L if necessary by returning the electro-spindle to release-tool condition by
increasing the supply pressure to the E6 release tool pipe with the regulator.
Afther then decrease the pressure in order to move the piston towards the outside of the cylinder like
showed in the picture above (see the arrow).
N Check the adjustment by performing lock/release tool cycles and checking that the sensor S2 switches
on and off in repeatable way. If it does not repeat the steps I, L and M and repeat this step..
O Afher the adjustement has been done disassembly the centesimal and reassembly the carter of the
cylinder and the electrofan.
29L0036745F
8.1.8 Adjusting sensor S3 "standstill shaft"
(8.1.8 45f ce)
Sensor S3 requires no peculiar adjusting: it is sufficient to replace the sensor by setting the present on
the eccentric bush parallel to the axis of electric spindle rotation and make sure that the sensor changes
over 3 times every turn of the shaft of electric spindle see following figure.
This must apply with manually moved electric spindle as well as with electric spindle rotating at the highest
speed for the correct operation at all working speeds.
When the electric spindle is rotating, the sensor outgoing may be checked by means of:
- an oscilloscope
- a quick PLC input;
- an electronic power unit which can control the number of pulses going out from the sensor and transform
them into one single checking signal.
In this last case make sure that the exit signal is firm with the number of intervention turns at the max. speed.
If sensor don't switch correctly as speed increase, it's needed to turn slightly the eccentric in order to get close
the included sensor toward electrospindle nose.
