Choosing between repairing or replacing a CNC spindle depends on factors like cost, downtime, and long-term performance. This analysis helps manufacturers decide the most efficient option to maximize uptime and return on investment.
Spindles are critical to the performance and uptime of CNC machines and other manufacturing equipment. Preventing spindle failure is essential to avoid costly downtime, missed production targets, and expensive repairs. This article outlines the top early warning signs of spindle wear, including decreased machining accuracy, unusual noises, excessive vibration, overheating, increased tool wear, and visible physical damage.
A machine integrator within the automotive industry approached Gilman Precision with a unique challenge; they needed to develop a spindle assembly for balancing tires that also required a way to deliver compressed air through the shaft without a typical rotary union. The Gilman team leveraged their expertise in spindle technology to create a solution that not only met specific criteria but exceeded expectations while ensuring reliable performance.
