Roland DG (DGSHAPE) spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Roland DG (DGSHAPE Corporation) spindles and motor spindles — the Japanese manufacturer from Hamamatsu, a reference in CAD/CAM dental milling machines for over 38 years, with the user-replaceable spindle of the DWX range.
Roland DG (DGSHAPE), Japanese reference in dental milling for over 38 years
TLDR: Roland DG Group, through its subsidiary DGSHAPE Corporation (Hamamatsu, Japan, created in 2017), has been the reference in manufacturing advanced dental machines for over 38 years, with the DWX milling machine range covering dry and wet machining, in 4 or 5 axes, for dental laboratories and clinics.
Roland DG Group has been the reference in manufacturing advanced dental machines for over 38 years, a legacy now carried on and improved by DGSHAPE Corporation, a wholly owned Roland DG subsidiary created in 2017 to develop dental restoration technologies. The DWX milling machine range covers compact 4-axis configurations (DWX-4, DWX-42W for wet machining) up to more advanced 5-axis models (DWX-52D, DWX-53D, DWX-53DC), allowing the machining of zirconia, PMMA, wax, composite resin, glass ceramic and titanium, for producing crowns, bridges, abutments and dental models. The DWX-53DC model includes a webcam allowing the mill to be monitored around the clock from any device, while DGSHAPE CLOUD IoT technology provides a remote monitoring and support experience.
A range of redesigned spindles, user-replaceable without a technician
TLDR: DWX milling machines use a redesigned spindle offering three times the tool gripping power, designed to be replaced directly by the user in a few minutes without requiring a technician or a special tool.
On the DWX-53DC model, the redesigned, more robust spindle is directly user-replaceable and offers three times the tool gripping power for more efficient and predictable milling across all applications. This spindle can be replaced in a few minutes without calling in a technician, and without testing, training or special tools. On the DWX-42W model dedicated to wet milling, an exclusive DGSHAPE spindle for high-speed production requires up to 65% less pressure, with air flow reduced by 50% compared with the previous generation, without reducing overall performance — a feature that allows the mill to run without a large-capacity compressor. On the DWX-52D Plus, the new, more robust spindle reduces the friction generated during milling, an asset for the accuracy of 5-axis technology.

Frequently asked questions
Why have my spindle repaired by Brochexpress if it is described as user-replaceable?
Standard replacement suits normal wear; in the event of a deeper failure (damaged bearings, electrical fault), professional repair remains necessary to restore original performance.
Do you work on the low-pressure wet spindles of the DWX-42W series?
Yes, we diagnose and repair these spindles, taking account of their reduced compressed air requirements.
How long does a full overhaul take?
Allow around 20 working days in the workshop, depending on the condition of the spindle and the availability of parts specific to these precision technologies.
Do you work on the 5-axis spindles of the DWX-52D and DWX-53D models?
Yes, we diagnose and repair these spindles, whatever the machining mode (dry or wet).
Do you offer a preventive maintenance contract for a fleet of Roland DG milling machines?
Yes, we set up preventive maintenance programmes tailored to the activity of your dental laboratory or practice.
