The spindle shaft is the central component of a CNC lathe headstock. We produce it repeatedly for the same customer, in small batches and in several dimensional variants. We have manufactured the variant shown in the photos eight times over the past two years.
Production process
Every order goes through the same steps:
- rough machining from raw material,
- annealing,
- multi-stage milling and complete drilling,
- nitriding to a surface hardness of approx. 56 HRC.
We hold dimensional tolerances within hundredths of a millimetre.
What happens to the part at the customer
The customer grinds the finished shaft to geometric tolerances within thousandths of a millimetre. It is then installed in high-precision CNC lathes.
Why repeatability matters
With repeat parts, every order must meet the same standard as the previous one, even when they are months apart.
