In turning centers where space is at a premium, broaching demands a drive that is compact and consistently reliable. Sankyo Automation’s Broach Drive in a Turning Center uses the continuous rotation of the RollerDrive to propel the broaching tool, delivering steady motion in a package designed to fit where others cannot.
How It Works
At the heart of the setup is the RollerDrive, providing continuous rotation to the broach for smooth, repeatable cutting. A right angle input and output shaft layout creates a low profile unit with a small footprint. This enables clean cable routing and simplified mechanical integration without crowding the work zone.
Why It Matters
Thin profile preserves valuable space around the spindle and tooling.
Powerful continuous rotation keeps the broach moving with consistent torque for reliable operation.
Low profile, small footprint design simplifies integration in tight machine envelopes and retrofit scenarios.
