Single and two-speed stop and drop pick-off drives for multi-spindle screw machines contain faster back finishing and pick-off spindle stopping capabilities that enable users to achieve better micro finishes on back finished parts and perform simple back drilling and back counterboring operations that would normally be run on secondary machinery.
The standard braking feature stops the pick-off spindle before the pick-off collet opens, decreasing the chance of ejected parts missing the chute. This feature also minimizes nicks and marks caused by inconsistent part ejection, preventing quality problems that are common with air pick-offs.
