Nagel spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Nagel spindles and motor spindles — the German manufacturer and world benchmark in honing and superfinishing technologies, from prototype to high-volume production (Nagel Technologies GmbH).
Nagel Technologies, world specialist in modular honing
TLDR: Nagel Technologies GmbH (Germany) is a world specialist in honing and superfinishing technologies, able to machine bores from 1 mm to 2,500 mm in diameter and up to 20,000 mm long, with a VARIOHONE modular machine concept suited to high and low volume production alike.
Nagel Technologies GmbH covers the whole spectrum of industrial honing: its machines process bores from 1 mm to 2,500 mm in diameter, for lengths reaching 20,000 mm, with accuracy, efficiency and an individual configuration matched to each application. The VARIOHONE modular machine concept allows a wide variety of bores to be machined — from standard geometries through to very high precision cylinder liners — with a single solution that can evolve with the future needs of the customer. The high-end MS-U control system allows every honing process to be run flexibly, guaranteeing stable processes and maximum quality. Nagel builds both conventional reciprocating honing machines and very high output single-pass "precidor" honing systems, the choice of technology being determined by the part to be produced.
A range of honing spindles and tools mounted on machining centre spindles
TLDR: Nagel machines use honing tool spindles matched to each configuration (conventional reciprocating or single pass), together with a range of honing tools developed specifically to be mounted directly on the spindle of a CNC machining centre, with no dedicated honing machine.
On conventional Nagel honing machines, the tool spindle combines rotation and axial reciprocation to press the abrasive stones against the bore wall, while on single-pass "precidor" systems the spindle is optimised for very high output in volume production. Nagel also offers honing tools developed specifically for use directly on the spindle of a conventional CNC machining centre, bringing honing technology straight to the production source — a solution particularly suited to small and medium batches as well as prototype production, without investing in a dedicated honing machine.
