Machine tool spindle drives require one of the most demanding motion solutions. Ripple or velocity errors leave their mark, literally, on the work pieces being machined. Yaskawa Spindle Systems deliver the perfect answer to machine tool builders who require smooth running and rapid, accurate control. Yaskawa provides the high reliability and performance your machine tool applications demand with a complete line of drive and motor products to operate all machine tool spindles.

Choose the M5, a high performance spindle drive with 100% back-to-line regeneration or the economical MC5 with AVC® Adaptive Vector Control.

We offer three types of machine tool specific spindle motors. Single winding spindle motors generate rated power at 1,500 RPM. Dual winding motors generate rated power at 400~500 RPM. Built-in spindle motors offer the machine tool designer the opportunity to design high performance, compact machines by "motorizing" the spindle itself.

Drives are available with either the traditional analog interface or the Mechatrolink interface offered by Yaskawa.
