At Setco, we offer comprehensive spindle repairs with a short turnaround time for critical or emergency situations. With this service, we expedite every repair step. Our team provides fast disassembly and inspection. Once we know what repairs will involve, we quote the quickest lead time available. Rapid spindle repair enables manufacturers to keep industrial machinery operating smoothly with minimal production downtime to protect business operations and revenue.
A typical spindle repair may take 10 to 20 business days. Our expedited services take as little as 2 to 5 business days after receiving the order. You can access these services for a slight upcharge compared to our regular repairs. For spindles requiring grind-plate-grind (GPG), QTA services may take an additional 3 to 4 days.
Whatever the repair requires, we will complete the work in the shortest time possible because we understand the critical impact of a downed CNC machine or other equipment. Our in-house engineering staff and technical resources allow us to streamline our process and repair spindles from over 350 OEMs, including obsolete and niche spindles.
Here’s an overview of our expedited process.
Once we receive the spindle, we’ll begin inspection. Our initial tasks include vibration analytics to check the function before disassembly. Then, we disassemble, clean, and evaluate the spindle to find the reason for performance issues. We will share our findings within 24 hours, providing a quote and estimated repair time.
After the quote is approved, we begin work immediately, moving the spindle to the front of the line and expediting all parts. Our repair process includes replacing or reconditioning worn components to OEM specifications or above. By performing every step in-house, we can shorten the timeline.
We reassemble the spindle and test to confirm performance under controlled conditions. We ensure that all spindles have passed testing and is ready for installation upon customer receipt. We’ll store the baseline vibration and testing data using the serial number for future reference.
After the work is completed, we securely and efficiently ship the spindle back. We include a complete inspection report and overviews of repairs. Setco also offers certifications and a written warranty for added quality assurance.
