Waldrich Coburg spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Waldrich Coburg spindles — a German manufacturer of gantry milling machines and large-format slideway grinders, a reference in heavy-duty mechanical engineering.
Waldrich Coburg, a German manufacturer of large-format machines for heavy industry
TLDR: Waldrich Coburg (Germany) designs gantry milling machines and slideway grinders of very large dimensions, with travels exceeding 30 metres, designed for machining and grinding massive parts for heavy industry.
Waldrich Coburg has built a recognised expertise in designing very large gantry milling machines, with configurations reaching longitudinal travels of 14,000 to 36,000 mm and workpiece weights of up to 100 tonnes. The manufacturer also offers slideway grinders, used to restore the geometry of large machine tool beds, with travels of up to 7,500 x 2,200 x 1,600 mm and twin-head configurations (a flat head and a swivelling head). These machines equip heavy mechanical engineering workshops capable of handling parts weighing from several dozen to several hundred tonnes.
A range of very high-power spindles for heavy-duty machining and grinding
TLDR: Waldrich Coburg gantry milling machines feature ISO SK 50 or SK 60 taper spindles, with power outputs of up to 113 kW and torque up to 9,500 Nm, while the associated grinding heads can reach 5,000 rpm.
The largest Waldrich Coburg gantry milling machines feature ISO SK 50 taper spindles, with a spindle diameter of up to 200 mm, a power output of 113 kW and a torque of 9,500 Nm, for rotation speeds of 2 to 2,500 rpm. On older configurations or those with an ISO 60 taper, the main and side milling heads can deliver up to 100 hp respectively, with speeds of 12 to 450 rpm. On the grinding heads associated with the manufacturer's largest gantry milling machines, the grinding spindle can reach 5,000 rpm for a milling spindle power of 63 kW on the same machine, offering milling-grinding versatility for machining very large parts.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair very high-power milling spindles (up to 113 kW)?
Yes, we work on these spindles taking into account their specific high-torque requirements.
Do you work on slideway grinding heads (flat and swivelling)?
Yes, we diagnose and repair these heads, used to restore the geometry of machine tool beds.
What is the average lead time for a complete overhaul?
Allow around 20 working days in the workshop, depending on the condition of the spindle and the availability of parts (bearings, seals, specific components).
Do you work directly on site for very large-format spindles?
Yes, our team travels to diagnose and, where possible, intervene directly on site to avoid the full dismantling of large and heavy spindles.
Do you offer a preventive maintenance contract for a fleet of Waldrich Coburg machines?
Yes, we draw up preventive maintenance programmes tailored to your production cadence, particularly relevant for heavy mechanical engineering workshops.
