TaeguTec has expanded its Typhoon Jet high-speed spindle range with two new modular spindle lines, the P-JET and S-JET. The impressive new systems will fully replace the existing HPC and G-JET spindles as current stock is depleted.
Both new lines share a modular design that separates the holder, which serves as the machine-side mounting interface, from the cartridge, which houses the turbine drive unit. Because the two elements are independent, users can interchange holders to suit different machine adapters. This gives the end user added flexibility, with an interchangeable system that allows machine shops to replace a cartridge directly in minutes rather than sending a full spindle away for service. This cuts downtime and service and maintenance costs.
The P-JET is the power-oriented option, delivering high torque across a speed range from 20,000 to 45,000rpm. This model is suited to milling with small-diameter tools in both soft and hard materials. The S-JET variant is the higher-speed option, operating from 33,000 to 55,000rpm. The S-JET is the system of choice for manufacturers seeking impeccable surface finishes in finishing operations and for those aiming to optimise the productivity, tool life and performance of micro tools. Depending on the operation and material, both lines accept tools up to 6mm in diameter for drilling, slotting, profiling and shouldering.
A new high-pressure turbine with high-speed precision ball bearings sits at the heart of both lines, paired with an ultra-precision ER11 collet that maintains runout within 0.003mm. This level of accuracy is tight enough to enhance tool life and surface finish when working at the smallest diameters.
Mounting interfaces are standardised across the full range, so the same holder types fit directly to most common machine adapters. This includes BT, CAT, C5, C6, DIN69871, HSK, ER32 and ST20 options, plus a TR mount for direct cartridge fitting. A 90° angular head is also available on both lines, allowing the spindle to run perpendicular to the machine's spindle axis where the application demands it.
Each spindle carries an integrated Bluetooth sensor that enables pairing with TaeguTec's Jet Spindle Monitor app, launched earlier this year. This gives operators real-time spindle speed and performance data without the need for an external display monitor.
As coolant-driven spindles, P-JET and S-JET run from the machine's own internal coolant supply. This requires a coolant pressure of between 15 and 70 bar and a minimum flow rate of 10 litres per minute, so most CNC machines already equipped for high-pressure coolant can run the new range without modification.
P-JET and S-JET are available now from TaeguTec UK across the full range of holder types. For guidance on which configuration suits a specific machine and application, contact TaeguTec UK.
