The most serious consequence of these events is their impact on product quality, your company's operating costs and, consequently, a loss of competitiveness.
- Loss of machining tolerances
- Machine stoppages (Downtime)
- Poor quality of machined components (ovality, off-location machining, rough finishes, etc.)
- High tool consumption
- High vibration
- Excessive noise
- Heating
- Increase in operating costs
Possible Causes of Spindle Failure
- Contamination during operation.
- Misalignment.
- Overload.
- Blows.
- Lack or excess of lubrication.
- Errors in the installation process.
- Wrong application.
- Deficient machinery grounding system.
- Repair errors (contamination, improperly installed bearings, knocks, etc.).
- Fatigue (end of useful life).
Spindle Maintenance
The rebuilding process starts with a visual inspection of the external condition of the spindle and continues with the following steps:
- Disassembly
- Cleaning of each component
- Detailed inspection of the same
- Measurement of components
- Reworking of components that require it
- Replacement of damaged components
- Assembly
- Final measurements
- Tests
- Certification
