MAJOR FACILITY RENOVATION

USA, 4th February 2009 - After months of construction Fischer Precise USA (FPUSA), manufacturer of precision machine tool spindles, is excited to announce the recent completion of major facility renovations to handle expanded demand and services for machine tool spindle repair. This investment of well over $500,000 redesigned the shop floor layout to better accommodate a wider variety of spindle products while improving workflow through the facility for the complete repair process.

The building renovation creates a high standard for the industry in North America, and creates dedicated areas for each step of the spindle repair process. There are separate disassembly, cleaning, assembly, and test rooms to provide the best overall environment for quality work for what is most often the most critical component on a machine. This has resulted in:

  • The doubling of floor space in every repair area
  • Addition of 1,000 lb. cranes
  • 8,000 sq. ft. of re-assembly space
  • 4,000 sq. ft. of disassembly and analysis space
  • 1,000 sq. ft. of test and run-in space

FPUSA President Ryan Brath explains, "This renovation supports and expands our mission to be a Service Center of Excellence for our market and provide reliable, convenient service options for customers seeking a better value in the repair of their spindles. Everything that we have done here should provide assurances to machine tool users that they will have a good experience using FPUSA as their partner to maintain, and even improve, spindle life."

With a convenient central location just north of Chicago, production plants throughout the region and country can now be assured that multiple brands and types of spindles can be serviced by FPUSA. One benefit will be a shorter turnaround time for machine users who might otherwise consider shipping spindles overseas for repair. Other benefits supporting the renovation include full testing capabilities, on-site installation assistance following repair, and the widest range of equipment, tooling, and personnel in the industry to service the greatest variety of spindle products at one location. Belt drive, air turbine, and electric powered spindles can all be handled using the latest equipment and tightest tolerance standards to provide reliable repair service.

Beyond providing new spindles and spindle repair, Fischer Precise USA can also provide spindle service, training, and support solutions to optimize existing manufacturing applications. Fischer Precise USA is ready to assist and provide spindle users our full resources in their machining or grinding processes.
