A recent repair highlight perfectly demonstrates our capabilities in spindle repair service. Our team recently completed a full repair on a GMN HCS 270 – HSK-A100 spindle. This model is commonly found on DMG machines and is a workhorse in demanding applications, including the aerospace industry, where precision and uptime are non-negotiable.

The spindle arrived at our facility requiring a complete rebuild. Our process ensured every component was addressed with the utmost care and precision:

• Precision Inspection & Analysis: We started with a thorough, component-level inspection to accurately diagnose all issues and determine the root cause of the failure.

• Component-Level Refurbishment and Balancing: Our expert technicians meticulously restored or replaced damaged components. Crucially, all rotating parts were precision balanced to eliminate vibration, a key factor in extending spindle life and maintaining machining accuracy.

• Final Run-In Testing: The fully rebuilt spindle underwent rigorous run-in testing following the manufacturer’s specifications. This final step guarantees that the spindle meets or exceeds OEM quality and reliability standards before it ever leaves our facility.
