Maximizing Precision and Flexibility with OMG TA Angle Heads

O.M.G. offers a wide range of Angle Heads. With more than 110 models and almost 4000 if we consider all the possible options, what O.M.G. has is the most wide range on the market today.

O.M.G.'s TA angle heads are designed to provide CNC operators with greater flexibility and precision, particularly in operations requiring machining at various angles.

The TA series angle heads are essential tools for increasing the capabilities of CNC machines, offering an great solution for complex milling, drilling, tapping, and other tasks that might otherwise require multiple setups or custom fixtures.

Key Features of
OMG TA Angle Heads

The TA series angle heads from OMG are meticulously crafted with precision bearings, Gleason bevel gears, and heat-treated kinematics, ensuring maximum rigidity and accuracy in demanding machining operations.

These heads incorporate cutting-edge innovations, such as the newly designed anti-rotating group, which eliminates angular backlash, ensuring precise and stable performance.  The "anti-rotating group" refers to a mechanical feature in the OMG TA angle heads that prevents unwanted rotational movement between components. This group of components is engineered to eliminate angular backlash, which is the small, undesired movement or play between parts when the direction of motion changes. In precision machining, angular backlash can lead to inaccuracies in positioning and alignment, so eliminating it is crucial for maintaining high precision.

By incorporating an anti-rotating mechanism, the angle head can maintain its set orientation during high-torque or high-speed operations, resulting in greater stability and accuracy. This is especially important in applications where maintaining precise angles and positioning is critical for producing consistent, high-quality machined parts.

It's important because this is what allows the TA angle heads to deliver speeds of up to 10,000 rpm—unmatched by competitive models in the same category.

The design of the TA angle heads benefits from over sixty years of OMG’s expertise, coupled with advanced computerized systems, which has driven innovation in construction materials, heat treatments, and mechanical processes. This combination of experience and technology guarantees precision, robustness, and superior finishing, making the TA series a top performer in any machining environment.

What sets the TA series apart is the range and versatility it offers. The series includes 90° single-spindle heads, 90° double-spindle heads, variable angle heads ranging from +90° to -90°, fixed angle heads, and heads with tool center coolant supply. For specialized applications where standard heads aren't suitable, OMG also offers custom-designed angular heads to meet specific machining needs.

These features make the TA angle heads a reliable choice for any machine tool, offering a unique blend of performance, durability, and precision for modern machining challenges.
