Onsite, in-place spindle grinding

Long-term wear eventually creates a loss of as much as 50 percent or more of surface contact between the spindle and the taper. To restore this contact area, in-place grinding is a cost-effective alternative to spindle unit disassembly. Locher's experienced technicians and specialized equipment will restore taper contact to 90-100 percent of the surface area, which eliminates excessive taper runout and improves repeatability.

In-place grinding typically takes just one day per spindle, and the cost is affordable. Spindle bearings in good condition do not need to be removed. Machine alignments are not affected by in-place grinding, and tolerances are held within new spindle specifications.
