    Robotic machining systems require specialized spindles that can hold tight tolerances while addressing the unique challenges of highly advanced automation. Placement at the end of a robot arm means these spindles are subject to greater stiffness, vibration, and loading conditions than conventional CNC machine spindles.  

    Setco has decades of experience in robotic spindle technology, developing purpose-built solutions that solve these challenges. Engineered specifically for high-rigidity robotic applications, these units deliver the precision and reliability that automated manufacturing demands.

    High-Performance Spindles for End-of-Robot Applications

    Setco develops and builds custom spindles specifically for robotic applications — not adapted versions of traditional machine tool spindles. These purpose-built units integrate directly onto robot arms and deliver the precision needed for automated operations, including machining, grinding, and drilling. 

    We design each spindle with the constraints of robotic operation in mind, accounting for the dynamic forces and variable positioning that the robot arms and joints create during operation. Our solutions perform consistently across various automated manufacturing environments, from aerospace component machining to high-volume production applications.

     

    Robotic Spindle Features

    Several features that make Setco robotic spindles stand out from the competition include:

    • Advanced technology: As the industry’s most effective solution, our AirShield3 bearing seals prevent contamination from the leading causes of spindle failure, including dust, coolant, and chips. With over 25 years of field use and zero failures when properly installed, AirShield3 is backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty against bearing contamination.
    • High-rigidity construction: Purpose-built frames and bearing configurations counteract robot arm flex and vibration, maintaining cutting accuracy even under demanding machining conditions. The compact design allows for more nimble movements and greater versatility when accessing workpieces from various angles.
    • Predictive maintenance integration: Sensors and monitoring capabilities reduce unexpected downtime while increasing service life through data-driven maintenance scheduling.
    • Customized mounting options: Tailored designs can accommodate various robot OEM specifications and manufacturing applications without sacrificing performance, reliability, or production accuracy.
