Mori Seiki Spindle Repair Job I-8637

This Mori Seiki MH-63 spindle needed major repair after a hard crash. We found the shaft run-out to be 10µm on the taper face. The drive dogs were badly damaged. However, even if the spindle wasn’t crashed, the bearings were not going to last much longer.  Our inspection discovered that this MH-63 had a badly contaminated roller bearing. It was certainly on its last legs.

The crashed Mori MH-63 has smashed drive dogs and the front roller was badly contaminated.

We restored the damaged taper with our GPG process. The gouged out drive dog area was repaired with micro welding and re-machining. New hardened drive dogs were fabricated. All of the minute oil passages and metering orifices were thoroughly cleaned and checked.  Each lubrication jet was meticulously cleaned.

The spindle performance was great when completed; assembled run-out less than 2µm determined by our certified 300MM test bar, vibration readings 0.03397 in/sec and pull force of 3500 lbs.

Mori Seiki Spindle Repair  Job I-9039

We received this Mori MH-63 with damaged drive dogs. The taper had over 4µm of run-out and was in pretty rough condition. These are all indications of a crash. The customer asked us to modify the shaft for removable drive dogs.

Our inspection found moderate contamination in the roller bearing. As always, all bearings were replaced with top name brand ABEC 7 Super Precision spindle bearings. And even though no Belleville springs were broken, it is our policy to always replace them.

Just before shipping this Mori MH 63 had great numbers. Measured run-out was less than 2µm. The vibration reading was 0.03570 in/sec and pull force of 3570 lbs.

HST Job # I-9636

Besides a complete rebuild the customer wanted us to give special attention to the drawbar pull force. They also requested us to modify the shaft for removable drive dogs.

Preliminary check indicated that the bearings were very close to complete failure. However, the drawbar pull force was at 3310 Lbs; a little low, but still within serviceable limits.

Like every spindle repair we replaced worn bearings and repair damaged tapers. We can even repair a spindle shaft with major damage. We replaced all of the drawbar springs and got the pull force up to 3660 lbs.
