Niigata spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Niigata spindles — a century-old Japanese manufacturer and global leader in horizontal machining centres, widely used in automotive and precision engineering.
Niigata, over 100 years of Japanese reference in horizontal machining centres
TLDR: Niigata Machine Techno Co., Ltd (Japan, more than 100 years of history) is recognised as a world leader in horizontal machining centres, with a reputation for quality, reliability and continuous innovation under the Niigata brand.
For more than 100 years, the Niigata brand has stood for quality, reliability and innovation in the machine tool industry, holding a leading position worldwide in horizontal machining centres (HMC). Models in the range, such as the HN800-V, stand out for their high volumetric accuracy combined with rapid traverse speeds of up to 50 m/min. The manufacturer fits hardened, hand-scraped V-way slide systems to achieve superior axis straightness, virtually eliminating yaw and drift, and guaranteeing lasting precision even under the most intensive automotive production rates.
A range of robust spindles for high-precision horizontal machining
TLDR: Niigata horizontal machining centres feature high-precision spindles combined with hand-scraped V-way slides, designed to maintain optimal movement straightness and high volumetric accuracy in intensive production.
Niigata horizontal machining centres rely on precise, hardened and hand-scraped slide systems, ensuring superior axis straightness by virtually eliminating yaw and drift. This rigorous mechanical design, combined with robust spindles, delivers some of the fastest traverse speeds on the market for this type of machine, with volumetric accuracy that sets the manufacturer apart from its competitors. These spindles are particularly well suited to the intensive machining of automotive parts and precision engineering components, in continuous multi-shift production.
