Saving Spindles: Peerless Saw Co.

From SETCO Precision Spindles
 

 

Manufacturing saw blades is a tough business. Tough on the machines that are doing the manufacturing, and tough on the employees running the machines.

Peerless Saw Co., a manufacturer of industrial saw blade bodies, knows all too well the demands of the business. And with nine rotary grinders-each specifically designed to grind circular saw bodies ranging from 4" to 40" in diameter-Peerless is jam-packed with machines that had better work properly to satisfy customers' demands.

The Groveport, Ohio-based manufacturer faced a major dilemma in 2002, when some of its machines were failing at an alarming rate. With machine down time as a result of newly rebuilt spindles failing because of bearing contamination and employees spending time trying to fix them, Peerless needed to find a solution quickly
