AV70S 7HP Smart Spindle / VFD System

The AV Series Smart Spindles represent one of the most exciting advancements in Avid CNC's history.

These spindles optimize manual tool changes, improve safety, and simplify the setup/upgrade process while offering full ATC capability when paired with our upcoming retractable tool rack. The AV70S provides 7HP of cutting power and is available as a spindle-only upgrade for your existing 8.7HP spindle controller, or as a complete system to upgrade from cutting tools other than the Hiteco 8.7 HP spindle.

Safely and quickly make manual tool changes with the AV Smart Series spindles, while also being fully ATC compatible.
Integrated Microcontroller and Pneumatics
The built-in microcontroller and solenoid valves manage pneumatic control for tool changes and case pressure.
Smart Tool Change Button
A large, easy-to-press button illuminates when manual tool changes are safe and locks out during spindle operation.
EX Controls Integration
In combination with our tool height setter, tool changes become quick and reliable.
Backwards Compatibility
The AV70S is fully compatible with existing Avid CNC 8.7HP spindle controllers, saving you time and up to $2000.

Powerful Performance
A wide operating range from 1,000 to 24,000 RPM and 7HP, ensuring optimal performance for a variety of materials and applications.
Optimized for Production
Designed for continuous use in demanding production environments. The spindle's electric cooling fan ensures reliable operation at lower RPMs.
ISO30 Tool Holders
ISO30 Tool Holders for either ER32 or ER20 collets accommodate tool shaft size up to 3/4".
Adaptable Power Requirements
Compatible with 3-phase 208VAC[1] or single-phase 240VAC. The system fits to the power configurations of your shop.

Comprehensive User Guides
Access to elegantly detailed user guides and step-by-step instructions for simple assembly and setup.

The Next Evolution: ATC (Coming late this year)


Crash Proof Exchanges
Tool presence sensing and air blast taper cleaning to ensure seamless tool changes and prevent crashes.
Space Saving
The pneumatically driven tool rack will preserve work area and machine footprint.
High Capacity
Hold up to 10 vertical exchangers on a 4ft wide rack & 12 on a 5ft rack.
Auto Tool Setting
Mount your tool height setter on the rack to get quick automated tool heights verification after every tool exchange.
Custom Cradle Locating
Simple software routines to set extra vertical or fork-style exchanger locations anywhere on your machine.
Modular Box
Start with ATC-only, then add laser control (or vice versa) via the same auxiliary box.
Expandable I/O
The aux box includes heaps of additional electronic and pneumatic I/O for accessories (e.g., coolant mist, lights) and future upgrades.

Product Notes

  1. Three-phase 200-240VAC power must be a three-wire or four-wire Wye system. Three-phase 380-480VAC power must be stepped down to three-phase 200-240VAC (typically 208VAC). Additional information can be found in our Spindle / VFD System Power Requirements.
  2. Compatible with our current EX Controller and Legacy CRP800 Plug and Play CNC Control Systems (NEMA 23 and NEMA 34). For older control system revisions (CRP500 or CRP300) contact our customer support team and they can get you sorted with a customized option.
