Reishauer spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Reishauer spindles and motor spindles — the Swiss manufacturer from Wallisellen, a world benchmark in continuous generating gear grinding with threaded wheels.
Reishauer, the Swiss benchmark in generating gear grinding
TLDR: Reishauer AG (Wallisellen, Switzerland) is a builder that does not stop at making gear grinders: it also produces its own threaded grinding wheels at its plant in central Switzerland, a unique "circle of competence" pairing machine and tool to guarantee the accuracy of the grinding process.
Reishauer AG designs and builds continuous generating gear grinders using threaded wheels, with a range covering the RZ150 (workpiece diameter 10 to 150 mm) up to the RZ1000 (grinding diameter up to 1,000 mm, modules from 0.5 to 10 mm), by way of the RZ260, RZ400, RZ410 and RZ550. In line with its portfolio of competences, the manufacturer does not merely supply the grinding kinematics through the machine: it also manufactures its own threaded wheels, made up of abrasive grains, bond and pores, to cut hardened steel.
A range of grinding spindles and twin-spindle concepts for high precision
TLDR: Reishauer grinders use a grinding spindle reaching grinding speeds of up to 80 m/s, combined on certain models (RZ260) with a twin workpiece spindle concept for higher output in high-precision gear grinding.
Reishauer grinders such as the RZ150 use a grinding spindle capable of a maximum grinding speed of 80 m/s, with wheels of 275 mm outside diameter and 125 mm width. On the RZ260, a twin workpiece spindle concept allows high-precision gear grinding with special noise-optimisation solutions, as well as the production of complex forms (helix crowning, K profile). The manufacturer's older machines, such as the RZR, use a honing spindle running from 100 to 1,200 rpm.
