TOKYO, Japan – Westwind Air Bearings will exhibit the D1787 Storm 200,000 rpm PCB drilling spindle at the JPCA Show 2007, held from May 30 to June 1, 2007, at Tokyo Big Sight.
 
With a full speed range operation of 20,000 – 200,000-rpm true shaft speed, the Storm reportedly offers greater performance through improved small hole drilling and low airflow and low current. It is said to have the lowest power requirements on the market and is equipped for the industry standard 1/8” collet for high collet torque.
 
Itsuro Ishii, general manager of Sales and Marketing, GSI Group Japan Corp., Westwind Air Bearings Division, said, “We are excited to be exhibiting our latest spindle technologies at the JPCA Show. We continue to offer unrivalled service to our Japanese end users and machine OEMs and look forward to talking to anyone about how Westwind spindles can increase their productivity.”
