Spindle Repair

An integral part of various industrial machinery, spindles experience long operation periods, leading to general wear. Defective spindles can cause a host of challenges in production machinery, like higher operating costs and reduced production, or if left unrepaired, it can cause total machine failure. IBAG North America offers precision spindle repair services to provide spindle system solutions and keep your operation running smoothly.

CNC Spindle Repair Services Advantages

Receiving spindle repair services from knowledgeable and experienced technicians at IBAG North America provides your machinery and operation with a range of benefits. Aside from the initial repair, high-quality precision spindle repair offers production success and minimizes critical downtime. Spindles are a vital component in production machinery, and when components stop working as intended, it can cause the machine to slow down, require costly and timely repairs, or, in the worst case, become inoperable.

When done with an expert hand, a high speed spindle rebuild or spindle repair  can also offer long-term benefits, such as lower operating costs and high-quality repairs that provide machine longevity. A spindle needing repair may not be immediately evident, but damaged spindles will disrupt the machining process and cause inefficient operation with higher costs. With our premium precision spindle repair services, we replace defective spindle parts using our informed proprietary methodology. Our experienced technicians provide high-quality spindle repair services with extensive testing and procedures that ensure all rebuilt IBAG spindles perform with exceptional reliability following a repair.

IBAG Spindle Repair Process

For all IBAG high-speed spindles, we offer repair, installation, and rebuilding services. Spindle repair services, including bearing replacements, balancing, and run-in and vibration testing, are completed at our state-of-the-art facility in North Haven, Connecticut. The premium CNC spindle repair process from IBAG North America is as follows:

1. The spindle undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine the spindle condition and the suspected cause of failure. Photos are taken, and observations are recorded in a repair report. We will provide a detailed cost proposal, including all parts and labor required for spindle repair services.
2. Once approved, the spindle is disassembled, and internal parts are assessed for wear. Then, internal spindle components are cleaned in a hot, ultrasonic cleaner and dried.
3. If necessary, the spindle rotor shaft is checked and rebalanced to less than a G1 level with a precision balancer.
4.  The spindle is reassembled with new parts and bearings following exclusive procedures set forth and required by the factory. Following assembly, the spindle enters a test field area for run-in, balancing, and final testing.

During testing, the spindle is connected to a high-frequency drive, bearing lubrication system, and chiller, if required. For run-in testing, spindle RPM is gradually increased until it reaches the maximum speed; this process can take many hours. At regular intervals, critical spindle operating parameters, including housing temperature, vibration, current, and taper run-out, are checked, recorded, and saved per ISO9001 standards in a database by spindle serial number. After testing, a trim balance may be conducted to optimize spindle balance, or the spindle may receive a taper re-grind to achieve the necessary run-out accuracy, completing our comprehensive spindle repair services.
