Lico spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specializing in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Lico spindles and motor spindles — a Taiwanese manufacturer of CNC lathes, multi-spindle automatic lathes and turn-mill centres, widely present in bar-turning and turned-part production workshops.
Lico, a Taiwanese manufacturer specializing in precision turning
TLDR: Lico Machinery (founded in 1978 in Taichung, Taiwan) is a manufacturer specializing in CNC lathes, multi-slide automatic lathes and turn-mill centres, with a range covering the bar-turning of small parts up to bar diameters of 100 mm.
Founded in 1978 in Taichung, Lico Machinery has built a reputation for manufacturing automatic lathes, initially cam-operated then CNC-controlled, intended for precision-demanding sectors: aerospace, automotive, IT, valves and fittings, and optical instruments. Over the decades, the manufacturer has developed several machine families, from CNC multi-slide automatic lathes (LNT series) to turn-mill centres with an independent counter-spindle (LNDD series), as well as multi-slide lathes for parts of medium complexity (LNTS series). These machines today equip many bar-turning and mechanical subcontracting workshops in France and Europe.
A range of spindles and counter-spindles suited to turned-part production
TLDR: Lico spindles cover a wide range of bar diameters, from 36 mm to 100 mm depending on the series, with main-spindle and independent counter-spindle configurations, as well as VDI-30 live-tool turrets.
Lico automatic lathes and turn-mill centres integrate main spindles designed for intensive production use, combined depending on the model with an independent counter-spindle allowing second-operation machining without handling the part. The LNTS series covers spindle diameters from 36 to 65 mm, with a turret-mounted pick-off spindle and up to three second-operation tools on the platen. The more complete LNDD series comes in four spindle sizes (42, 65, 80 and 100 mm), with two two-axis cross slides around the main spindle, a VDI-30 live-tool turret and a fully independent counter-spindle, capable of handling up to four tools simultaneously in a Y-axis configuration.
