Abstract

The increasing demand for micro-parts and -structures requires micro-tools, precision machines and components. For machining the microparts, tool-spindles with very high rotational speeds of the spindle rotor are needed. In this paper a new developed small high-frequency tool-spindle capable for use of multifunctional micro machining and measuring tools is introduced.
