Can't Wait.. Changing My Own Spindle

[Nighthawk]

Always the hyper guy in the shop that crashes all the time

[erichuntsinger]

Im glad you have all the resources to chang out your own spindle. I prefer never having to do so

[Militarycollector]

I just can’t believe how machines have evolved these things are so high-tech it’s absolutely unbelievable.. The Percision involved in making these things are mine boggling..

[QurttoRco]

Lets be real, anyshop that runs enough hellers to justify keeping spare spindle around is gonna have their own in maintenance staff

[CurtiWorzel]

Not tricking no one with the combover 😂

[dieselphiend]

An air-tight "clunk" might be the best sound.

When my father in laws Mori mill spindle got obliterated, believe me there wasn’t silence in the shop. At least until dude went home. 👍🤙❤️.

ABEC 7, bearing sets, aren't cheap. They recommend a break in cycle. Absolutely, no binding. We tap and tap, with a rubber dead blow, keep it clean, watch the temperature, and listen for noises. Smoke, glowing, squealing sounds, and locking up, are things to avoid. Remember, they often use a white room.

Meanwhile my company has over 60 makinos and never had a spindle failure on the more modern machines (post pro 3 control era). Id rather never replace a spindle than have it be easy.

Se debe tener bancos en dónde tienes que pociocionarlo y colocarlo adentro, por qué si se falla por un milímetro puede haber una rebaba que lo pueda rayar, tiene que usar un instrumento de medición en micrómetros o macro metros para colocarlo o usar una lainas para ver si está dentro de las especificaciones del fabricante ya que hay normas que mencionan ciertas especificaciones de tolerancia de separación... Se ve que usted trabaja muy bien, ha de ser un gran maestro...

I’m glad he’s passionate about his job! We need more of this attitude!

How many hours did the spindle have or how was it damaged. ?

[hukebein]

20 min 😢, this is impossible if you know the sector, is not about changing spindle you need to run in the new spindle check the geometry, test the high pressure coolant and then run it for couple of hours machining parts and see if the temperature and current absorption are within the parameters, this is just show unfortunately

[dontbleedthadalo]

Damn that's cool! Now I have to Google what a spindle is.

[ikcalB]

Did you check your geometry afterwards?

[austink]

We have a maintenance staff.... it still took over a week to drop in a new spindle to a haas multigrind

[waynep]

How much damage does harmonics do to the spindle bearings.

[Oncelost]

Is that the actual spindle, or the liner? I was under the impression the actual mechanical part in the back was *technically* the spindle.

On Swiss lathes, liner’s were a weekly thing holding .0005” on medical parts. This COULD be a fancy machine, but it looks exactly how a liner looks.

Still awesome to see in giant machines. Our’s you could hold in your hand and you’d have to reach all the way around and unscrew a ton of stuff in sequence. Makes a world of difference for sure! 👍

Edit- I did not see the Gearing! It IS a spindle, I’ll be darned! That’s actually incredible!

[BobbyFlay]

Nothing better than colliding a brand new spindle with a tool 😂

Crashing a spindle enough time can get expensive. Proper training to prevent crashes is key.
