Sub-Micron Accuracy
Starts Here.

The precision of your finished components is only as good as the hardware driving them. We provide specialist inspection, refurbishment, and replacement services for spindles and ballscrews, ensuring your machinery delivers the sub-micron accuracy your clients demand.

Identifying Wear Before Failure

Advanced Diagnostic Tools for Critical Drive Components

Our inspection process goes beyond a visual check. We use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the internal health of your critical drive components before wear becomes failure.

Vibration Analysis: On-site frequency testing to identify bearing wear or imbalance before it results in a catastrophic spindle seizure.

Run-Out Testing: Precision measurement of spindle tapers and shafts to ensure rotational accuracy remains within OEM specifications.

Backlash & Pitch Error Audit: Laser-based measurement of ballscrew wear to identify lost motion that compromises axis positioning.

Extending the Life of High-Value Components

A Cost-Effective Alternative to Total Replacement

When a component fails or drifts out of tolerance, refurbishment is often the most cost-effective pathway — restoring full performance without the lead times and cost of a new unit.

Spindle Reconditioning: Full strip-down, ultrasonic cleaning, and replacement of super-precision bearings in a controlled environment.

Taper Grinding: On-site or workshop-based regrinding of spindle tapers to restore perfect tool-holder contact and eliminate chatter.

Ballscrew Overhaul: Re-balling and precision regrinding of screw threads to eliminate backlash and restore smooth, linear motion.

Global Sourcing for
Rapid Turnaround

Minimising Lead Times for Critical Parts

OEM & Verified Equivalents — Supply, Install & Commission

If a component is beyond economical repair, we leverage our international network to source high-specification replacements quickly — with full installation and commissioning included.

OEM & Equivalent Sourcing

Access to genuine parts from major manufacturers including Unisign, Fanuc, and Siemens — or engineer-verified high-quality alternatives.

Strategic Stocking

We help clients identify critical spares for their specific fleet to ensure immediate availability during a breakdown — eliminating costly wait times.

Turnkey Installation

We don't just supply the part. Our engineers oversee the full installation, integration, and testing of every new component to ensure it performs to specification.

Balancing & Alignment

Optimising Performance for High-Speed Machining

Eliminating Vibration, Chatter & Thermal Drift

A new spindle is only as good as its installation. We provide the final calibration required to ensure your machine is perfectly balanced and capable of delivering mirror-like surface finishes at speed.

Dynamic Spindle Balancing: On-site balancing to eliminate harmonic vibrations, protecting your bearings and improving surface finish quality at high RPMs.

Laser Axis Alignment: Using state-of-the-art laser interferometers to ensure ballscrews are perfectly aligned with the machine's guideways.

Thermal Compensation: Fine-tuning the CNC control to account for thermal expansion, ensuring accuracy from the first part of the shift to the last.
