Expanded Spindle Rebuild Center in Kentucky



Mazak offers OEM factory certified spindle rebuild services in its expanded and newly updated Spindle Rebuild Department, which is now located in the South Building on Mazak's Kentucky manufacturing campus.

The Spindle Rebuild Department supports every Mazak machine tool spindle in North America-over 2,000 different models covering a wide range of horsepower ratings and speeds. "As a cost-effective option for our customers, the expanded department will keep upwards of 1,000 rebuilt spindles in stock and ready for exchange, particularly those found in Mazak's most popular machine models," said a company spokesperson.

To help ensure that all original spindle specifications are met or exceeded, factory-trained technicians use only Mazak replacement parts to rebuild Mazak spindles. Technicians perform every stage of the repair and rebuild process, provide complete trackable spindle documentation and conduct stringent testing of every spindle, all within a short turnaround time. The expansion not only makes room for additional technicians, but also allows the department to boost its rebuild output to 100 spindles per month.

"Mazak's Spindle Rebuild Department leverages over 30 years of spindle build expertise to offer the industry's best spindle warranty," said Matt Whissel, Spindle Repair Manager for the Mazak Spindle Rebuild Department. "We understand our customers do not have time to wait, and Mazak is truly committed to doing whatever we can to support these customers. With our new facility, we have the capacity to return repaired spindles in three to five days and ship remanufactured spindles in less than 24 hours."

To reach that level of efficiency, Mazak expanded the new spindle department's work area. The clean, ergonomic workspace, along with its closer proximity to the Mazak Parts Department in the South Building, streamlines rebuild operational flow. Mazak also incorporated new advanced technologies, including spindle balancing units and other process systems intended for accommodating larger spindles.
