CNC-STEP spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of CNC-STEP spindles and motor spindles — the German manufacturer of gantry milling machines, engraving machines and waterjet cutting systems, with sites in Geldern and Klipphausen.
CNC-STEP, German manufacturer of gantry milling and cutting machines
TLDR: CNC-STEP GmbH & Co. KG (Geldern and Klipphausen, Germany) manufactures milling machines, CNC machines, gantry machines, engraving machines and waterjet cutting systems, with a range spanning compact machines for training and small-batch production up to the industrial T-Rex series gantry mills.
CNC-STEP GmbH & Co. KG, based in Geldern with a second site in Klipphausen, has built recognised expertise in manufacturing milling machines, CNC machines, gantry machines, engraving machines and waterjet cutting systems. The range covers widely varied configurations: the LabCenter, a compact and mobile machining unit ideal for CNC training as well as small part production, offering all the functions of a production machine in a reduced format; the VF series vertical spindle machining centres, with a wide variety of customisation options; and the T-Rex series CNC milling machines, fitted with high-quality ground helical racks together with linear guides and carriages from recognised brands (HIWIN, THK, PMI). The manufacturer also offers high-pressure piston pump waterjet cutting solutions, able to cut up to 150 mm of steel or stone.
A range of taper 50 spindles with gearbox, for production machining
TLDR: CNC-STEP VF series vertical spindle machining centres use a taper 50 spindle with a two-stage gearbox, while the T-Rex series gantry mills and the compact machines cover a wider range of spindles suited to wood, plastics, aluminium and composite materials.
On the VF series vertical spindle machining centres, the taper 50 spindle is paired with a two-stage gearbox, offering flexibility between high torque at low speed and high speed for finishing, a classic configuration for production machining centres. On the T-Rex series gantry mills, aimed at machining larger parts, the spindle is paired with high-quality ground helical racks and precision linear guides, for rigidity suited to machining a variety of materials. Compact machines such as the LabCenter and the Charly models use spindles sized for machining wood, aluminium, brass and plastics, with a good balance between accuracy and an accessible budget.
