Okuma, Air Turbine Tools Collaborate on High-Speed Spindles

The effort boosts productivity and cycle time performance for CNC machines and lathes.

Air Turbine

Air Turbine Technology Inc. (Boca Raton, FL) has announced its strategic partnership with Okuma America Corporation. The collaboration integrates Air Turbine Tools’ governed 25,000 to 90,000 RPM spindles and live tooling into Okuma’s advanced CNC machines and lathes, enabling users to significantly reduce cycle times while enhancing tool performance and increasing production output.

This partnership is a direct response to growing demand among manufacturers and distributors for governed, constant high-RPM solutions. These tools maintain constant speed and torque even under load thanks to Air Turbine Technology Inc.’s patented direct-drive turbine and built-in governor system, which automatically increase airflow to maintain constant RPM and torque under load with up to 1.4 Hp.

Air Turbine Spindles, Air Turbine Live Tools and Air Turbine Motors will now be available as seamless additions to Okuma CNC machines and lathes. Air Turbine Spindles integration process is simple operate using a standard 90 PSI air supply and can be installed three ways: via direct air-through-spindle capability, a patented Tool Changer Mounting Assembly (TMA), or manual airline connection. Live Tools and Motors are also easy to install without added wiring or control boxes, supporting Swiss and lathe applications.

This partnership benefits high-precision industries such as medical device manufacturing, aerospace, and defense, where micro-tool performance and accuracy are critical.
