Sarix spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specialising in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Sarix spindles and motor spindles — the Swiss manufacturer founded in 1993, a world leader in micro-EDM for high-precision micro-drilling and micro-milling.
Sarix, the Swiss leader in micro-EDM since 1993
TLDR: Sarix SA (Switzerland, founded in 1993 by the engineers E. Salim and G. Rigamonti) was created to meet a need the major EDM equipment manufacturers could not satisfy: producing extremely small features and holes with consistent accuracy, today recognised in watchmaking, aerospace, automotive, medical and semiconductors.
Founded in 1993 by two engineers with extensive experience of the EDM process, Sarix SA grew from a simple observation: despite attempts by the leading EDM equipment manufacturers, nobody was able to meet the growing demand for a machine capable of producing very small features and very small holes. Producing entirely in Switzerland for 30 years, Sarix develops high-precision micro-drilling and micro-milling machines using EDM and laser, used in watchmaking, aerospace, automotive injection systems, aircraft and power generation turbines, medical instruments, micromechanics and semiconductors. The MACHline range, a family of Micro EDM machining centres, combines several machining processes in a single machine to handle complex 3D structures.
A range of rotary spindles with automatic electrode wear compensation
TLDR: Sarix machines use a rotary spindle with electrode feed and automatic wear compensation, available in a Twin Axis configuration with two independent spindles (roughing and finishing), with an electrode range from 0.035 to 3 mm in diameter.
On Sarix micro-EDM machines, a rotary spindle provides electrode feed and automatic wear compensation, a system essential to maintaining machining accuracy throughout the erosion process. The Twin Axis capability, available on the base module, allows two independent Z axes to be fitted with separate processing units — the customer can for example combine a roughing Micro EDM milling spindle and a finishing Micro EDM milling spindle on the same machine. Sarix also offers an automatic electrode feed spindle with C indexing, together with a cartridge electrode changer (up to eight electrodes) for automated production. The electrode range covers diameters from 0.035 to 3.0 mm, for lengths reaching 600 mm, with positioning accuracy down to ±0.002 mm.
