Mazak opens expanded spindle rebuild department

The spindle rebuild department supports every Mazak machine tool spindle in North America, including more than 2,000 different models covering a range of horsepower ratings and speeds.

As part of its most recent US$15 million investment in its manufacturing campus, Mazak Corp., Florence, Ky., has completed its newly expanded spindle rebuild department located in the company’s south building.

The expansion efforts that also extend to its manufacturing plant encompass the installation of a new manufacturing cell with fully automated storage and retrieval system, six of the company’s most advanced machine tools, and several of its Smooth Technology digital process monitoring systems.

The spindle rebuild department supports every Mazak machine tool spindle in North America, including more than 2,000 different models covering a range of horsepower ratings and speeds. The expanded department will keep upwards of 1,000 rebuilt spindles in stock and ready for exchange, especially those found in Mazak’s most popular machine models.

“We understand our customers don’t have time to wait, and Mazak is truly committed to doing whatever we can to support these customers. And 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,” said Matt Whissel, spindle repair manager.
