Spindle Repair

Receiving

Upon receipt all spindles are inspected prior to disassembly, run, if possible and undergo a detailed failure analysis. This data is used in our CAR* program.

*CAR Customer Action Required. This program is intended to provide feedback to the customer of any machine, process or facilities issues that may compromise spindle life.

Electrical checks

Electrical checks are performed prior to disassembly. These checks are performed again after assembly.

Disassembly

Spindles are completely disassembled. At this time, we assess the problem with your spindle and notify you of any potential issues pertaining to the machine, process or facilities (air supply and vacuum) that may have contributed to spindle failure.

Parts

All parts are carefully examined and measured to ensure compliance with spindle manufacturer specifications and standards. All our internal specifications meet the same. This ensures you of a quality product every time.

Cleaning

Cleaning is critical to the proper operation of a spindle. We use a combination of manual, mechanical, and chemical processes to ensure that the component parts are as clean as possible. All parts are then inspected again to insure cleanliness. Only at this point are spindles transferred into our clean room for assembly.

Replacement parts

All replacement parts meet the OEM specifications.

 

 

 

 

Armature balance

Balance is critical to operational accuracy/precision and longevity any spindle. All armatures are dynamically balanced on our state of the art Schenck balancing equipment to insure proper operation at all speeds.

Assembly

To avoid contamination assembly is performed in our clean room, equivalent to ISO-7 standard.  Our skilled technicians take every precaution to insure proper assembly during this stage.

Test

All spindles are put through a rigorous test protocol prior to acceptance by our QA department. This includes vibration, noise, run out, both static and dynamic, throughout the spindles operational range. We also put the spindle through an extended reliability test phase to insure it will operate properly when received by the customer.

Completion and shipping

All spindles are inspected by our QA department after test. Cosmetic inspection is also performed now. Spindles are carefully packaged in custom boxes to insure safe delivery to our customers.
