Hartford spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Hartford spindles and motor spindles. We work from our sites in Beaurepaire (France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) and Lussery-Villars (Switzerland) alongside precision machining manufacturers.
Hartford spindles and motor spindles equip many high-demand vertical and horizontal production machining centres, notably in the precision subcontracting, automotive and general engineering sectors. Drawing on our technical know-how, we support manufacturers — in France and across Europe — in overhauling their equipment and optimising its availability. A properly maintained motor spindle is the guarantee of precise, repeatable and productive machining.
