    Assembly & Delivery
  • Upon arrival, we log every spindle into our production tracking software system and any issues associated with transit are noted.
  • Our technicians then carefully break down the spindle into its component parts, note their general condition as well as specific damage, and perform a full dimensional inspection to identify excessive wear.
  • Our production manager performs a second evaluation, during which he/she will try to identify the cause of failure, consult with the head of our grinding and machining departments, and determine any recommendations for preventative measures.
  • Our purchasing department sources all replacement part costs, determines lead times and generates a quote.
  • Following customer approval, we schedule production and order the parts needed.
  • Our team gives the quote a final check and communicates it to the customer for approval.
