Development of spindles that can be mounted on robots in pursuit of downsizing and weight reduction
Automation using robots (manpower saving) reduces labour costs and enables 24-hour operation
.
Our sister company, SIGA Machine Tool Co. Ltd. has introduced the S-CUBE, an ultra-compant spindle for robotic or automated operations. The S-CUBE combines advanced technology in a compact body measuring just 60 mm square, realising an ultra-compact spindle with a maximum speed of 20,000 min-1 and a radial runout accuracy of 2 µm. This compact design contributes significantly to the space limitations of equipment and robot load limits, while at the same time allowing the spindle unit to accommodate machining feeds that robots have difficulty with, enabling stable cutting/deburring/polishing operations.
The fundamental concept of the S-CUBE series is to automate tasks traditionally done by humans such as deburring, polishing, drilling, and light cutting operations.
While automation is highly sought after in many manufacturing sectors, its implementation costs are not always low.
Particularly, automating fine tasks like deburring and R-processing is often considered more suitable for manual labor considering cost-effectiveness.
However, with the introduction of S-CUBE, such automation becomes a practical choice.
S-CUBE offers automation solutions tailored to your budget, reducing the payback period for equipment investments.
The S-CUBE packs advanced technology into a compact body about 60mm square, achieving a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM and a radial runout precision of 2μm.
Its dedicated motor supports diverse power supplies, providing maximum speeds of 3000 RPM at 24V and 6000 RPM at 48V, with rated torques of 0.4N・m and 0.35N・m respectively.
S-CUBE’s compact design significantly reduces facility space requirements and improves energy efficiency.
The miniaturization and lightweight design of the S-CUBE substantially reduce the size and required rigidity of facilities.
Achieving weight reductions not possible with traditional spindles contributes to overall cost reductions in facilities.
With years of research and development, our innovative spindle control unit optimizes your capital investments and enhances productivity.
S-CUBE models are ready to use right out of the box.
Equipped with a power unit and a controller unit, these models can be immediately utilized in your production line.
You can enhance productivity without additional setup time.
Short-term rentals are also available, allowing you to test the products before purchasing.
If you have technical questions or need customization, our technical consultation service is available. This product is perfect for those looking to immediately improve production efficiency.

SCU (S Cube Unit or Small Compact Unit) is a spindle unit characterized by its high precision and compact design. The reduction in weight and size of the spindle enables machining operations not only on traditional specialized machine tools and large robots but also on smaller robots.
SCH (S Cube Hand — small, single, spindle) is a high-precision small spindle unit, developed for multi-jointed robots. It enhances accuracy and efficiency in deburring and drilling processes. SCH is expected to improve productivity in manufacturing settings and has potential applications across various industries, thanks to its seamless integration with robots.
Both spindle units were developed with our extensive experience and advanced technology and boasts high quality and reliability.
