SCM spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specializing in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of SCM motor spindles — an Italian group that has led the market since 1952 in machines for woodworking and composite materials, with the Morbidelli, Routech and CMS brands.
SCM, Italian leader in woodworking and composite materials since 1952
TLDR: SCM Group (Rimini, Italy, since 1952) is the market leader in woodworking machines, bringing together the Morbidelli, Routech and CMS brands to cover furniture manufacturing, windows and doors, timber construction (CLT) and the machining of composite materials.
Since 1952, SCM has established itself as the leader in the woodworking machine market, offering one of the broadest technological ranges in the sector, combined with cutting-edge software (Maestro CNC) and recognised technical support. The group's machining centres are the fruit of continuous in-house research, reinforced by the integration of the Morbidelli and Routech brands, now market benchmarks. The range spans compact centres for joinery (Morbidelli M100/200) up to large-format centres for solid-timber construction and CLT (the AREA range, able to machine panels up to 16,000 x 3,600 mm), as well as centres dedicated to windows, doors and staircases (the Accord range). The CMS brand, also part of the group, extends this expertise to high-speed machining of aluminium, light alloys and composite materials for aerospace and motorsport.
A range of in-house-designed motor spindles, for wood as well as composite materials
TLDR: All SCM motor spindles are entirely designed and manufactured within the group, with power ratings ranging from 7.5 kW on entry-level configurations up to 63 kW in continuous operation on large-format centres, with an HSK-F63 interface on the majority of production configurations.
SCM claims the complete design and manufacture of its motor spindles, the fruit of several decades of experience and continuous innovation within the group. This command allows it to offer each customer the motor spindle with the optimal torque, power and rotation-speed characteristics for their application. On joinery centres (the Morbidelli range), the direct-drive 5-axis JQX (Just Quality eXtreme) motor spindle guarantees the absence of vibration even during heavy material removal at high speed, combined with RO.AX chuck drilling heads rotating at up to 8,000 rpm. On centres for windows and doors (the Accord range), the motor spindles reach 17 to 21 kW depending on the configuration. On large-format centres dedicated to CLT and timber construction (AREA XL), the motor spindle can develop up to 63 kW in continuous operation for machining thick panels.
