Awea spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Awea spindles and motor spindles — one of Taiwan's largest CNC machine manufacturers, a specialist in gantry milling machines, listed on the Taiwan stock exchange.
Awea Mechantronic, a Taiwanese giant in gantry machining centres
TLDR: Awea Mechantronic (founded in 1986, Taiwan) is one of Taiwan's largest CNC machine manufacturers, listed on the Taiwan stock exchange, with more than 60 machining centre models including around thirty gantry configurations, covering vertical centres, 5-axis machines and 3- to 5-axis gantries.
Founded in 1986, Awea Mechantronic has established itself as one of Taiwan's largest CNC machine manufacturers, with production sites in China and the United States, supplying international manufacturers across a wide range of sectors. Over two decades of sustained operation, the manufacturer has put in place an integrated management system covering research, design, manufacturing, assembly, testing, inspection, sales and service. Certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and CE, Awea offers a very broad range of more than 60 machining centre models, including around thirty gantry configurations (including bridge and double-column), enabling every sector to find the machine suited to its needs.
A range of gearbox spindles and high-speed motor spindles
TLDR: Awea gantry machining centres feature BT50 taper spindles with a two-speed (High-Low) mechanical gearbox design for high output torque, while the compact vertical centres reach speeds of up to 15,000 rpm.
On the VP series gantry machining centres, the spindle comes in BT50 taper, with rotation speeds typically around 6,000 rpm for heavy machining of large-size parts. On some models, such as the BM series, the spindle features a two-speed (High-Low) mechanical gearbox design to deliver high output torque as an option, with a high-hardness nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy gear mechanism combined with an automatic lubrication and cooling system guaranteeing performance and service life. High-speed spindles can be fitted with different types of spindle motors to meet a variety of requirements. On the AF series compact vertical centres, dedicated to manufacturing high-precision parts and moulds, the spindle can reach 15,000 rpm at 11 kW.
