Amada Machine Tools spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Amada Machine Tools spindles and motor spindles — a division of the Japanese Amada group, the world largest manufacturer of optical profile grinding machines.
Amada Machine Tools, world leader in optical profile grinding
TLDR: Amada Machine Tools Europe GmbH brings together under a single brand the know-how of several traditional manufacturers (Wasino, Profiltec, Doebeli, PeTeWe), more than 70 years of combined experience, forming the world largest manufacturer of profile grinding machines, with contour accuracies reaching 1 µm.
Founded in 1946 in Japan by Isamu Amada, the Amada group first devoted itself to repairing industrial machinery before designing its first vertical band saw, then diversifying into laser cutting, bending, punching and precision grinding. Amada Machine Tools Europe GmbH was formed from the association of several manufacturers, including Wasino, under the single Amada brand, gathering under one roof the know-how accumulated over more than 70 years by Wasino, PeTeWe, Doebeli and Profiltec. This merger brought a new dimension to grinding by combining leading Japanese and European technologies, with technical centres in Germany, Italy and France, as well as a state-of-the-art production plant in Japan. Amada has established itself as the world largest manufacturer of optical profile grinding machines and of high-precision surface and profile grinding machines.
A range of high-speed oscillating spindles for precision mirror finishing
TLDR: Amada optical profile grinders in the GLS series use high oscillation speed spindles for mirror finishing, with simultaneous optical inspection on a projector delivering contour accuracies of the order of 1 µm and manual, conversational, CNC or interpolated operation on up to 5 axes.
On the optical profile grinders of the GLS series, the grinding area is magnified up to 1,000 times by a projector and a digital magnifier, making one micron of accuracy visible to the naked eye. The high oscillation speed of the spindle delivers a mirror finish on ultra-precision parts, with simultaneous optical inspection on the projector — the technology behind the success of the GLS-5T model, capable of interpolation on up to 5 axes. On the new GLS series for contour grinding, the stable machine construction and the ease of use of the Fanuc-AMADA CNC offer great versatility for mould making and precision tooling professionals.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair the high oscillation speed spindles of GLS optical profile grinders?
Yes, we work on these spindles, taking their mirror finish requirement into account.
Do you work on spindles inherited from the Wasino, Profiltec, Doebeli and PeTeWe brands?
Yes, we diagnose and repair these spindles, whatever the original brand now part of Amada Machine Tools.
What is the average lead time for a full overhaul?
Allow around 20 working days in the workshop, depending on the condition of the spindle and the availability of the parts specific to these precision technologies.
Do you work on the spindles associated with simultaneous optical inspection on a projector?
Yes, we diagnose and repair these spindles, which are essential to the contour accuracy being sought.
Do you offer a preventive maintenance contract for a fleet of Amada Machine Tools machines?
Yes, we set up preventive maintenance programmes matched to how critical these precision machines are to your production.
