SKF spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of SKF spindles and motor spindles. We operate from our sites in Beaurepaire (France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) and Lussery-Villars (Switzerland) for precision machining manufacturers.
SKF spindles and motor spindles equip many high-requirement machining centres and production machines, particularly in the automotive, aerospace and precision subcontracting sectors. Drawing on our technical expertise, we support manufacturers — in France and across Europe — in the overhaul of their equipment and the optimisation of its availability. A properly maintained motor spindle is the guarantee of precise, repeatable and productive machining.
