Precitech offers a multitude of both workholding and grinding or milling solutions for our machining systems.

  • The SP and NT workholding and tooling spindle shafts are ground on a high precision CNC grinding machine which enables grinding of the radial and axial faces in one setup which ensures squareness and virtually eliminates once per revolution errors.
  • They also utilize a hardened stainless steel shaft and bronze journal which prevents damage to the spindle in the unlikely event of spindle rotation without air.
  • As and additional resource to our customers, we provide Professional Instruments ISO spindles which can be configured to our machining systems as well.
  • Our grinding options can be configured for grinding, spiral milling and raster milling and can be placed horizontally, vertically and at 45° orientations for customer specific applications.
