3.3.9 Spindle Motor & Drive
The spindle motor is 10 HP and drives the spindle via a timing belt. The ratio between
the spindle and spindle motor is 1 to 1. The RPM range for this machine is 150 to 8000
RPM.
3.3.10 Automatic Draw Bar Assembly
The automatic drawbar is an assembly consisting of an air cylinder and an actuator that
unclamps the tool. Tooling is changed by means of the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC),
or can be done manually by pressing and holding the “Unclamp” button. Tools are
clamped when the button is released. A clamping force of approximately 1500 lbs is
generated to clamp the toolholder to the spindle. The Automatic Draw Bar Assembly uses
full system air and requires no adjustment. The air cylinder that does the clamping and
unclamping is lubricated with a small cup. Make sure to check the oil level in this cup on
a regular basis.
3.3.11 Retention Knobs
The LPM uses CAT40 retention knobs as shown below. Tightening to the proper torque
value is important for all retention knobs. Please see the retention knob manufacturer for
the proper torque.

Warning!
Retention knobs come in a wide variety of designs, however they often look
similar and appear to be interchangeable, but they are not. Use only the knob
that the LPM is designed to use. The use of the incorrect knob, or the incorrect
use of a knob, may result in injury and/or damage to the mechanism.
