BE DEPENDED UPON TO PUT DYNABRADE POWER TOOLS IN
A POSITIVE LIGHT.
WHAT WE REALLY LIKE IS THE FANTASTIC TRADE SHOW
EXPOSURE THEY PROVIDE. EITHER THEY ARE EXHIBITING

NEW TECHThere are new products each month that can change the way you work. Products to cut time, save you money, or revolutionize the industry. New Tech will feature the latest offerings from key suppliers and manufacturers.
Whether it is heat treating, finishing, or the latest in additive manufacturing, many of our readers are looking for the most up-to-date processes for their business. Process will break down new and innovative techniques to improve day to day operations.
PROCESS
Everyone knows you get the best information from the shop floor. Each month, an industry expert will “talk shop” and supply their knowledge in a Question and Answer format.
TALKING SHOPWith a detailed look into the industry itself, Industry Insight will give readers a deeper understanding on specific topics each month. This includes cutting systems, robotics and automation, controls, air filtration and more.
INDUSTRY INSIGHT
Maintaining your business will always be a top priority. Business 4.0 delivers the topics that can improve and enhance your day to day business functions. Whether the latest in digital technology systems, setting up 401ks, quality control, or shop management, this feature can deliver topics allowing your business to run more efficiently.
BUSINESS 4.0
There are few issues more critical than safety. Learning of new safety equipment and procedures to keep you and your workforce safe should be paramount. Furthermore, whether it is preventative or predictive, proper maintenance or learning of new tools to help maintain your machinery could mean the difference of down time for an hour or critical failure.
SAFETY & MAINTENANCEAs we enter Industry 4.0, a crucial element is the development of the next generation of workers. Colleges, technical schools, and other outlets are creating the programs to train and educate new and veteran laborers. Workforce Development will put special emphasis on areas that advance our workforce.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Each month, IMD will give in depth coverage on one or more of the many upcoming national, regional, or international trade shows. This includes details on the event, as well as the exhibitor highlights. On Exhibit gives even those who cannot attend the event the knowledge of what can be found on the showroom floor.

These new air tools allow for efficient work
within long pipes, castings, and other plac-
es where an extended reach is needed.
The .4 hp straight-line air tools are
available in either a front or rear exhaust
air motor and run at 25,000 RPM. The
new tools are available in two different
shaft lengths: 3” Extension models or 6”
Extension models. Both lengths allow the
operator to extend into work pieces and
reach previously inaccessible areas.
The die grinders are ideal for rapid
material removal, deburring, deflashing,
surface preparation, cleaning, finishing and
polishing. Models accept optional carbide
burrs, abrasive stones, mounted wheels
and molded abrasives. Each .4 hp Exten-
sion Die Grinder features a safety-lock
lever to prevent accidental start up of the
tool. Also, the tools run as low as 72 dB(A)
to further reduce sound in the workplace.
The .4 hp Extension Die Grinder powers
optional carbide burrs and mounted points
for deburring, grinding, etching, cleaning
and more.
FIRST AND ONLY ON THE MARKETDynabrade’s New Dynapoint II is a unique,
lightweight, air-powered abrasive belt ma-
chine for deburring, blending and cleaning
in normally inaccessible areas. Running at
20,000 RPM, the Dynapoint II is the only
tool on the market to run 7”-long cartridge
rolls.
DYNABRADE, known for their extensive line of abrasive power tools and
accessories, meets the needs of manufacturers while continuing to expand on
their already prominent product lines. With the release of the .4 hp Extension Die
Grinders, the new Dynapoint II, Pipe Belt Finisher, and the Raptor Vac® line of
versatile of portable vacuum systems and accessories, Dynabrade continues to
design high quality products that help produce superior finishes.
ABRASIVE SOLUTIONS from DYNABRADE
DynaBradInsert.indd 2 6/3/16 11:05 AM
The ability to run 7”-long abrasive rolls
means less downtime changing out abra-
sives, saving both time and money. The
extended DynaRoll abrasive allows the tool
to deburr in hard-to-reach areas, providing
a maximum reach of 3-1/2”. The Dynapoint
II is perfect for many industries including
stainless steel, wheel and rim production,
small machine parts and much more.
For the Dynapoint II, the abrasives are
hand-tightened for quick and simple tool
adjustments. Replaceable DynaRoll abra-
sives are available in grits from 50 to 120.
1/2” diameter and 3/4” diameter DynaRoll
abrasives are offered. The offset housing
allows for improved maneuverability over a
standard die grinder. The tool also features
a Safety-Lock Lever to prevent accidental
start up.
PIPE BELT FINISHERThis tool is ideal for blending and finishing
applications on metal, stainless steel and
a variety of other materials. The Pipe Belt
Finisher can be used on pharmaceutical
equipment, food machinery, railing and
other metal fabrication applications.
Using abrasive belts 1/2” – 1-1/2” wide
x 30” long, the tool is excellent for blend-
ing cylinders, sanding castings, cleaning
welds and fabricating metal. The Pipe Belt
Finisher is also excellent for blending and
polishing tubing and round stock, finishing
structural steel and various blending appli-
cations. The design of the tool allows for
180° of work piece abrasive capture at any
time on stock up to 2-3/8” in diameter.
The slack of the abrasive belt allows for
use on various sizes of pipe. Taking ad-
vantage of both coated and non-woven
belts, the tool features a tension arm which
allows for quick belt change. Both the belt
housing and side handle are adjustable for
operator comfort. Utilizing a .7 hp air mo-
tor, the tool runs at 3,400 RPM. Dynabrade
also offers no-obligation demonstrations.

SPECIAL FOCUS
SAVING TIME AND MONEYSometimes, replacing a spindle will be unavoidable. But in the majority of cases, repairs or rebuilds can make a more timely and cost-effective fix.
“In fact, on average, the lead time for delivery of a new replacement spindle can run as long as six months,” notes Ed Zitney, who is manager of the SKF Solution Factory-Cleveland and has more than 33 years of experience. “By comparison, repairs to a spindle usually can be made in less than two weeks and, in some instances, in just a few days.”
Timing is not the only benefit. According to Zitney, the price tag for a new spindle can average as much as triple the cost of a rebuilt unit, in part because a repair or rebuild will only involve the defective components. Even better news: Spindles can be rebuilt many times over without compromising performance in service.
SKF’s extensive history of partnering with customers for spindle repair and rebuilds has led to countless success stories.
“One of our customers had repeatedly experienced high failure rates for its machine tool spindles,” Zitney
recalls. “Their response was simply to replace the spindle bearings every time, because the bearings were noticeably compromised from an ingress of coolant.” But this approach didn’t do the long-term job: Spindle problems continued to persist and units would go down every four to six weeks in a vicious cycle.
“When we were consulted,” Zitney explains, “our focus first turned to the coolant issue. The ingress of coolant through a spindle’s seals, labyrinth, or covers must always be avoided, because the coolant can wash out the grease or oil from the bearings and ultimately attack the spindle’s shaft, motor, and electronics.” The lesson for the customer: Simply replacing the bearings and taking no other actions would never resolve the root cause of the spindle failures.
“As part of our repair and rebuild process, “ Zitney reports, “we took a careful look at the spindle’s sealing system and then initiated proactive measures for a long-term solution to the coolant problem.” Inadequate seals were removed, an air purge was added, new and properly specified seals were installed front and rear, the rear cap was replaced with one that included a
TURNING TO SPINDLE REPAIRS
AND REBUILDS
Machine tool spindles in all their designs and sizes serve as highly advanced technology solutions essential to critical operations on the shop floor. They are routinely used to rotate cutting tools, grinding wheels, or parts to be machined in applications ranging from milling, drilling, and boring to grinding, cutting, and sawing. Spindles perform as complex systems integrating dozens of components critical to machine tool performance. As with any asset, however, defects can arise resulting in spindle breakdowns over time–but it is no longer commonplace to automatically purchase a new spindle when one fails. Instead, spindle repairs and rebuilds have become highly practical options over outright replace-ment wherever possible. SKF USA Inc. has been a pioneer in developing the necessary know-how and technical support to enable damaged spindles to return to full service and productivity. The company has centralized this expertise at its SKF Solution Factory in Cleveland, OH, a dedicated resource for use by operations anywhere in the country.

seal diameter, and both the shaft and front cap were reworked to accept the new seals.
The outcome: The MTBF (Mean Time BetweenFailure) for the customer’s spindles dramatically increasedfrom a matter of only weeks (before the rebuild) to 18months – more than six times longer than before.
Another customer encountered a three-fold problem: A spindle’s existing tool interface was not fulfilling required accuracy and repeatability demands for the application, the design was inefficient for tool changes, and coolant contamination was leading to frequent spindle failure, because the spindle was positioned in a nose-up configuration allowing coolant to flood over the top of the spindle.
“Our solution,” Zitney says, “was to convert to anHSK toolholder, which provided a highly accurate, quick,and easy tool change to deliver the desired repeatability.We also redesigned the spindle’s front cap and replaced itwith a rotating slinger to dispense the coolant away fromthe spindle and keep it at bay.” The customer ultimatelyrealized much higher quality, greater efficiency, and a five-fold increase in MTBF for maximized uptime.
OPPORTUNITY TO UPGRADEWhen a spindle is turned over for repairs, an opportunity can open up to consider upgrading or otherwise customizing a unit to realize improved performance, gain greater versatility, and/or accommodate new or changing application requirements. Making an upgrade while a spindle is already down and due for repair inherently makes economical sense.
“Some upgrades for spindles can be relatively simple to implement, while others may become more involved,” Zitney observes, “but all can help improve upon spindle performance and operation.”
An SKF customer found this out firsthand. The operation logged ongoing incidents of motor coolantclogging and environmentally related problems with an oil mist lubrication system. As a result, spindles were failing repeatedly due to plugged coolant lines, and overheated motors.
“Our solution was to totally replace the spindle with an air-cooled grease-packed version,” Zitney says. “This particular air-cooled spindle resolved all the problems plaguing the motor coolant system and eliminated the costs for coolant tank, pump, and air oil supply. Contamination and clogging disappeared, motors no longer overheated due to clogged coolant lines, and spindle uptime increased.
“Even more dramatic from a ‘green’ perspective,”he adds, “the new 5½ HP spindles running at 18,000RPM compared with the old 15 HP spindles were ableto achieve documented power savings by matching thespindle to the required job and not overpowering thespindle.” The overall power savings translated to anannual reduction of 7000 kilowatts per spindle per 8-hourshift, which multiplies significantly with four spindlesrunning five days per week at three per shifts every day.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSSKF customers typically will pose basic questions to
assist them in the decision-making on how best to return a failed spindle to service or otherwise improve performance. Among them:
• Are you sure that you can successfully repair my “XYZ” spindle? The thinking behind this inquiry is that a customer effectively wants to know for certain that a particular spindle is a prime candidate for repair over replacement – especially since there are thousands of makes and models of spindles. This question can best be answered with as complete a spindle profile as possible. Helpful information includes the spindle’s manufacturer (not always the same as the machine), the model number, maximum RPM, HP (horse power), tool nose configuration, and drive type (belt, gear, coupled, or integral motor). In addition, does the spindle have manual or automatic tool change? Can the spindle’s bearings be identified from the OEM manual?
• How long will it take for a repair? Based on initial information from a customer, a best/worst case delivery timeline can generally be developed. When a customer offers accurate information about the spindle and the equipment appears in reasonably good shape, then a delivery date will likely be more on target. If a customer’s spindle is in bad shape or has unseen damage internally, an evaluation by a repair technician will be necessary in determining a true timeline for return to service.
• Can an exchange spindle beprovided? With thousands ofspindles in the field, it is usuallyonly by chance that an exactreplacement spindle will bein stock to match a particularunit. Sometimes, though, analternative model can make anexchange possible.
One of the questions most often asked – and withuniversal appeal – refers both to failed spindles and thosein service: How can I get more life from my spindle?
Understanding the way that each spindle is used in daily operation is essential to realizing extended spindle lifetime. More often than not, spindles must perform in harsh environments, often leading to potential internal contamination and subsequent failure. Whencontaminants are present, modifications to a spindle – especially to the sealing system – can be implemented to mitigate problems and extend service life. In some applications, too, a spindle may be run too hard or forced to operate where it was never intended according to its original design. In these cases, design changes can be made to reconfigure and tailor spindle setup consistent with the specific application.
