Innomotics spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Innomotics spindles and motor spindles — the entity spun off from the Siemens motors and large drives business in 2023, including the former Weiss Spindeltechnologie spindle technology division.
Innomotics, the Siemens motor and spindle heritage as an independent entity
TLDR: Innomotics GmbH, created on 1 July 2023 by Siemens to bring together its low and high voltage motors, geared motors, medium voltage converters and spindle products, notably includes the former Weiss Spindeltechnologie division, with more than 150 years of engineering expertise and 15,000 employees worldwide.
Siemens separated its motors and large drives business into a new company, Innomotics, which brings together Siemens' related activities in low to high voltage motors, geared motors, medium voltage converters and electric spindles. Created on 1 July 2023 as Innomotics GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG with operational headquarters in Nuremberg, the company employs around 15,000 people across 16 production sites and a sales and service organisation present in 49 countries. In 2023, the Siemens Large Drive Business division, the Sykatec division, the Weiss spindle technology division and the low voltage motors division were brought together within this new entity — a convergence of particular relevance to Brochexpress, since Weiss spindle technology (Weiss Spindeltechnologie), already known for its motor spindles equipping many machining centres, is now an integral part of the Innomotics portfolio.
A portfolio of motor spindles inherited from Weiss and Siemens expertise
TLDR: Innomotics motor spindles, inherited from Weiss spindle technology and Siemens expertise in drive systems, cover a variety of industrial applications with the reliability and continuity built on more than 150 years of the group's engineering ingenuity.
Innomotics motor spindles build on the technical heritage of Weiss spindle technology, integrated into the entity when it was created in 2023, combined with Siemens expertise in drive systems and industrial electrification. The Innomotics portfolio covers motors, generators, transducers, motor spindles, geared motors and powerful, efficient, modular and versatile drive systems, with a presence in sectors as varied as chemicals, oil and gas, utilities, automotive and marine. That technical continuity means the motor spindles historically known under the Weiss brand, present on many machining centres — notably at manufacturers such as Berthiez — remain components whose design and manufacturing know-how live on within Innomotics.
