    Jones & Shipman TRS2 Spindle Repair

    1800 rpm

    This dressing wheel spindle started making noise and the rpm’s dropped suddenly. We disassembled the spindle and found the front bearings in very rough shape. The taper had 5 microns of run out. All critical components were checked and passed inspection. The spindle shaft was routed to our grinding department where they ground the taper with the Kellenberger grinder. The shaft was then inspected and ready for assembly. Our experienced technician assembled the spindle with new bearings and seals. The spindle was balanced and passed all quality control checks. The spindle shipped with less than 2 microns of run out. The vibration and velocity readings all show a very smooth running spindle.

    Dresser spindle repair is very important to look at from a precision rebuild standpoint. Too often they are not repaired to spindle rebuild specifications and this results in poor quality dressing of the wheel. This increases wheel use and effects the part quality. Northland Tool & Electronics repairs a large variety of dressing spindles to our high tolerance standards.
