Spindle Rebuilders
Spindle rebuilders are businesses concerned with fixing and rebuilding the spindles used in industrial machinery. When productivity falters as a result of the spindle's operation, it is time to rebuild. Economically, spindle rebuilding is an intelligent decision, as a manufacturer can usually have two or more spindles rebuilt for the price of one new spindle. Rebuilding also often has a shorter lead time than buying a new spindle.
Spindles require a high level of precision and accuracy and can fail if tolerances are even slightly off. Rebuilding extends spindle life and productivity and protects the investment that the manufacturer has in its equipment. An experienced and meticulous spindle rebuilder can save a manufacturer precious time and money.
Spindle rebuilding starts with a complete inspection of the tool. The spindle is then disassembled, cleaned, and checked over for damaged bearings and components. The most common cause of spindle failure is contamination to the bearings, although other components may be the cause of a faulty spindle.
