Achieved 0% Component Rejections in High-Speed Spindle Operations
About the company
A precision machining company operating high-speed machining equipment for the production of critical components. Consistent spindle performance and reliable lubrication are essential to maintain component quality and avoid production losses.
The Challenge
The company was facing challenges with the lubrication of high-speed spindle bearings. Because these bearings operate at high speeds, any inconsistency in grease performance could lead to abnormal heat, vibration, tool wear, surface defects, and ultimately rejected components.
The existing lubrication system required close monitoring to maintain consistent spindle performance.
The Solution
Lubeco recommended Azure 2 HSG, a speciality grease formulated for precision and high-speed applications.
The Results
- Smooth spindle operation throughout the trial duration
- Stable lubrication behaviour at high speeds
- No abnormal noise, vibration, or overheating observed
- 0% rejection of machined components during the trial period
- Improved process reliability
- Reduced risk of spindle-related defects
- Higher confidence in continuous high-speed machining
- Elimination of lubrication-related quality losses during the trial period
Testimonial
Azure 2 HSG gave us stable spindle performance throughout the trial. The consistent lubrication helped us maintain component quality and run the machining process without lubrication-related disruptions
