What needs to be considered during a repair?
Who usually carries out repairs to spindles?
Our spindle repairs are carried out exclusively by authorized specialist companies or directly by the manufacturers. These companies have the necessary expertise and experience to repair the defective spindle professionally and effectively.
It is important to note that a repair by a non-authorized specialist company or even by a layman can lead to considerable damage to the spindle. We therefore strongly recommend that you contact our team and therefore authorized specialist companies or the manufacturer when it comes to repairing your spindle.
Every repaired spindle comes with a warranty to give you the assurance that the repaired machine component is of the highest quality and will have a long service life.
What are the most common reasons for a spindle repair?
A spindle is an indispensable part of turning, milling and grinding machines used in metal and woodworking. However, spindles are susceptible to wear and other problems that may require repair. These are the following factors:
Abrasion: The daily use of a CNC machine and therefore the spindle inevitably leads to signs of wear. The spindle bearings and seals in particular are susceptible to wear, which can lead to unwanted vibrations, noise and inaccurate machining. A repair is often necessary to restore the function of the spindle.
Damage due to improper handling: Improper handling and operation of the machine can lead to damage to the spindle. For example, incorrect tool changes or incorrect use of lubricants can cause damage to the spindle.
Electronic problems: Modern spindles always contain electronic components that can be susceptible to failure. Defective sensors, faulty controls or other electronic problems can cause the spindle to stop working and require repair.
Contamination: A damaged machine cover can allow dirt and contaminants to enter the spindle and cause damage. For example contamination can lead to increased wear on bearings and seals and require repair.
Ageing: Like any other component, a spindle is susceptible to ageing. With an increasing number of machine hours and over time, cracks in seals and other damage may occur that require repair.
When does it make sense to overhaul a spindle?
A spindle overhaul can prevent major damage and enable wear parts to be replaced. The spindle is usually completely dismantled and all components are cleaned and checked. Wear parts such as bearings, seals and rotary unions are replaced. Defective components are repaired or replaced. The spindle is then reassembled and tested.
It is advisable to maintain the spindle at certain intervals and overhaul it if necessary. The maintenance intervals depend on the type of machine, the spindle load and other factors. As a rule, the bearings should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. An overhaul of the spindle is generally recommended every 2 to 5 years.
Regular maintenance and overhaul of the spindle can increase the life of the machine and minimize downtime. A defective spindle can not only lead to production downtime, but also to inaccurate machining and increased tool costs.
How long does a spindle repair usually take?
The duration of a spindle repair depends on various factors and can therefore vary greatly. Typically a simple repair will take approximately 1-2 weeks, while more complex repairs can take longer. Such a repair can also be carried out within 24 hours using an express service although this depends on the specific individual case.
The exact time frame depends on the type of damage, the availability of spare parts and the workload of our partners. If the damaged part is standard and all the necessary spare parts are in stock, the repair can be carried out quickly. For more complex damage or when special replacement parts are required, repairs may take longer as replacements parts may need to be ordered and delivered.
It makes sense to consider alternatives, e. g. B. buying a replacement spindle via the platform or temporarily using another device to minimize production downtime.
Where do I get my machine cover professionally repaired?
If your machine cover is broken, you should have it repaired as soon as possible to ensure the safety of your employees and the functionality of your machine. It is important to have a professional machine cover repair performed to ensure that the cover is properly repaired and put back into service.
SPAREPARTSNOW has a large network of machine and machine cover manufacturers that offer repair services. It is advisable to have the machine cover repaired only by an authorized specialist company to ensure that the repair is carried out according to the manufacturer's guidelines, as spare parts may need to be ordered and delivered.
Why is it important to regularly maintain and overhaul machine guards?
Machine guards are an important part of machinery and systems, as they help to protect employees and systems from injury or damage. Therefore, it is extremely important to regularly maintain and overhaul machine guards.
Regular maintenance of the guards ensures that the safety devices function properly at all times, minimizing potential risks. Inadequate maintenance can cause the protection part to no longer function properly, posing a risk to employees and equipment.
In addition, regular maintenance of the machine covers can also help minimize wear and tear, thereby extending the life of the machine. A poorly maintained machine can break down more quickly, resulting in higher repair costs.
An overhaul of the machine guard may also be necessary to ensure that the guard meets the latest safety standards. Over time, standards can change and it is important that machines are adjusted accordingly to minimize potential hazards.
In summary, regular maintenance and overhaul of machine guarding is crucial for the safety and service life of machines and systems. It is advisable to hire an experienced and authorized specialist company to ensure that maintenance and repairs are carried out professionally and that safety standards are met.
How much does a machine guard repair cost on average?
The cost of repairing a machine cover can vary greatly and depends on various factors. This include the severity of the damage, the type of machine guard and the cost of spare parts and labor required.
As a rule, it is difficult to give an average price, as each repair case is individual and can result in different costs. It is advisable to obtain offers from the SPAREPARTSNOW team and compare them to get an idea of the costs involved.
It should be noted that a professional repair of the machine cover is usually more cost-effective than replacing an entire machine or system. In addition, regular maintenance and overhaul of the machine guard can help to avoid expensive repairs and extend the service life of the machine.
What are the benefits of regular maintenance and overhaul of machine covers and spindles?
Extending service life: Regular maintenance and overhaul can help to extend the service life of machine guards and spindles by ensuring that they function properly and are less susceptible to damage and wear.
Reducing downtime: Regular maintenance and overhaul can identify potential issues early and fix them before they lead to major problems and downtime.
Cost savings: Regular maintenance and overhaul can also help to save costs in the long term by avoiding expensive repairs and downtime.
Safety: Regular maintenance and overhaul can also help to ensure the safety of employees by identifying and remedying potential sources of danger in a timely manner, such as defective or damaged machine guards or spindles.
Increasing product quality: Regular maintenance and overhauls can also help to improve the quality of the products manufractured by making the machines more precise and reliable.
