Setco Spindle Offerings

As a global CNC spindle manufacturer, Setco can supply a wide variety of spindles. We have the extensive experience and engineering capabilities to provide the exact spindle needed for various applications. We can manufacture spindles globally to deliver excellent value and lead times. Below are some of the more common spindles we produce.

Customization Options for CNC Spindles

In addition to our standard product line, our extensive knowledge and experience enable us to provide custom spindle solutions to deliver optimal manufacturing results. Examples of our capabilities include:

  • Power rating: We can adapt the power level to the typical stock used, helping machines make deep, fast cuts in more challenging workpieces.
  • Bearing type: The appropriate bearing choice ensures the machine runs accurately and at the appropriate speed. Our capabilities include hybrid, steel, and ceramic — the latter option is best for minimizing friction in high-speed applications.
  • Cooling process: Depending on the project and customer preferences, we can provide air-cooled spindles that are easy to maintain. Liquid-cooled spindles that perform well in long-term, continuous-use work environments are also available.
  • Low-speed and high-speed spindles: Meet the demands of heavy-duty applications with low-speed spindles, or get precision for detailed operations with a high-speed, low-torque option.

  • Aerospace: This industry uses machine tools for countless applications, like machining turbine blades, engine components, compressor discs, fan hubs, and more.
  • Automotive: Machining centers and robotics are vital for automotive components production.
  • Agriculture: CNC spindles allow machines to produce metal elements, plastic fittings, and other components in the manufacture of farming equipment.
  • Industrial equipment: Machine tools and robotics play an increasingly important role in industrial automation machinery by helping to maximize production speed, combine operations, and maintain quality.
  • Medical: The medical industry uses machining centers to perform high-speed cutting, micro-drilling, and various mold and die applications when manufacturing medical devices.
  • Optical: This industry uses machine tools with various spindle types to grind molds for contact lenses, machine optical components, and manufacture high-precision spheres.
  • Mining: Machine tools assist with manufacturing gear blanks, gearbox housings, and shafts.
  • Oil and gas: Oil and gas manufacturers use machining centers for various applications, such as drilling rig components, pipeline fittings, and compressor and pump components.
  • Rail transportation: The railroad industry needs machine tools to produce railway components with tight tolerances and manufacture railcar interiors.
  • Solar and wind: Renewable energy manufacturing entities use milling machines to produce generator machinery for wind turbines or solar panels.

Spindle Predictive Maintenance Programs

At Setco, we recognize the importance of regular service to keep spindles functioning correctly. Our predictive maintenance services provide a proactive approach by identifying when a spindle might lose precision. This knowledge enables immediate action to avoid a costly repair situation that could result in extensive machine downtime.

Our maintenance programs encompass several aspects:

  • Alarm-level checks to determine the most appropriate maintenance and service intervals
  • Spindle performance evaluations, which entail gathering and monitoring key data and comparing it to baselines to predict potential failures
  • On-site visits by well-trained technicians to conduct spot checks and adjust alarm levels if necessary

We repair over 350 OEM brands, restoring components to the appropriate specs and reverse engineering as needed when replacements are unavailable.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Setco is an ISO 9001:2015 certified spindle manufacturer that prioritizes quality. Our in-house quality management systems focus on continuous improvement and consistent business practices, enabling us to keep raising the bar.

All our spindles and other products undergo a comprehensive inspection process to verify they meet the highest quality standards. They also undergo rigorous testing to ensure that their performance will meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
