    A Proven Spindle Repair Process 

    Our service centers can help restore nonconforming EDAC/Gros-Ite spindles. We repair or manufacture over 14,000 spindles yearly, making us fully equipped for this process. We can handle all types of spindles from this manufacturer, including: high-frequency motorized spindles, belt-driven spindles, and various specialty models. Our service includes:

    We begin with a visual evaluation of the spindle. Our knowledge of this manufacturer enables us to identify issues, even in proprietary components like roller bearings. 

    We then start with disassembly and root cause analysis using advanced diagnostic tools. Our familiarity with this manufacturer’s engineering enables us to better identify issues. Based on our inspection, we’ll provide a quote and wait for approval.

    After the quote has been approved, we replace nonconforming parts with those that meet or exceed OEM specs. Setco can source specialty parts and even fabricate some components as needed. 

    Once we’ve restored all the components, we reassemble and balance the spindle so it will provide smooth operation at the rated speeds. Our technicians perform balancing to meet the strictest industry requirements. 

    After balancing, we conduct tests like temperature monitoring and vibration analysis to verify performance. 

    Our technicians securely package and return the spindle with documents reflecting repairs, test results, and replaced components. We also offer a warranty on our work.
