Mägerle spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Mägerle spindles and motor spindles — the Swiss manufacturer founded in 1929, a world benchmark in surface and profile grinding for aerospace and the turbine industry, part of the United Grinding group.
Mägerle, more than 90 years of Swiss surface and profile grinding
TLDR: Mägerle AG Maschinenfabrik (founded in 1929 by Karl and Max Mägerle) moved into grinding technology in 1932, introducing in 1980 the fully encapsulated hydrostatic guideway that still characterises its technology today, before pioneering CNC surface grinders in the MFP series in 1985.
Founded in 1929 by the brothers Karl and Max Mägerle as a metal goods trading business, the company moved into grinding technology in 1932 by acquiring the grinding operations of Fritz Wunderli AG. In 1980, Mägerle took a decisive step by fitting its surface and profile grinders, for the first time, with a fully encapsulated hydrostatic guideway system, with a hydrostatically mounted grinding spindle and a dressing unit installed above the process, delivering exceptional performance.
A range of high-power spindles with continuous cooling for multi-process grinding
TLDR: Mägerle grinding centres, such as the MFP 100, use a spindle rated up to 50 kW with continuous cooling for chip evacuation, together with upper dressing systems that allow grinding wheels and form rolls to be changed simultaneously.
On the MFP 100 grinding centre, developed specifically for multi-face machining of heavy, complex parts in a single clamping, a 50 kW spindle rating and a generously designed working area make it ideally suited to machining turbine guide vanes, rotor blades and heat shields used in aviation and the energy industry. The upper tool and dressing roll change system allows a twin gripper to change grinding wheels and form rolls simultaneously.
