Tool holder - HSK interface for maximum precision

GMN milling spindles are equipped with standardized interfaces and designed for automatic tool changes. The HSK tool holder, in particular, offers clear advantages including:

  • Maximum concentricity for perfect surface quality
  • Shorter tool change times for higher productivity
  • Stable cutting force transmission for even the most demanding machining operations

Advantage over competing models:

Many competitors rely on conventional SK holders, which are less stable in high-speed applications, while GMN favors the use of HSK interfaces, enabling higher bending strength and better torque transmission.

More efficiency through precise tool technology

Milling spindles – Tool spindles for automatic tool change

GMN milling spindles are tool spindles for automatic tool change and the first choice for milling machines as well as machining centers. Whether used in machining in automobile manufacturing, tool and die construction as well as in aerospace technology or in milling lathe centers, GMN milling spindles provide the highest possible productivity in all areas.

Innovative shaft locking - milling and turning with just one spindle

Shaft lock

Conventional tool spindles are either used for rotational or milling applications. Thanks to the innovative shaft locking system, one can use one spindle for both applications without any problems. The following video shows how to operate the shaft lock developed by GMN. No machining forces act on the spindle during lathe operations when locked.

Advantages of shaft locking

  • Maximum flexibility: A single spindle for milling and turning operations, eliminating the need to purchase additional spindles.
  • Increased process reliability: The mechanical locking of the shaft ensures maximum stability during turning and prevents unnecessary stress on the bearings.
  • Higher productivity: Fewer tool changes and shorter retooling times lead to noticeably reduced machine downtimes.
  • Cost savings: The combined use for multiple machining steps significantly reduces both investment and operating costs.
  • Improved surface quality: The precise and stable bearings ensure a vibration-free operation, resulting in high-quality workpiece surfaces.

Areas of application for shaft locking

Our technology is particularly beneficial for industries with complex manufacturing requirements, including

  • Aerospace: High material strength and complex geometries demand seamless integration of milling and turning operations.
  • Automotive industry: Continuous processes for rotationally symmetrical and milled components such as gearbox housings and chassis components.
  • Tool and mold making: Combined machining steps for maximum fit accuracy and dimensional precision.

With its innovative shaft locking system, GMN is setting new standards in the flexibility and efficiency of machining technology, offering companies a forward-looking solution for growing production demands.
