5. In case something abnormal occurs 
  If you find something wrong, stop the machine immediately. 
 Remove the spindle motor referring to the description in the section of “How to 
clean the spindle motor” above, and then send this spindle motor to our company.  
Please do not disassemble the motor and nor reassemble it by yourself. 
 

 

 

6. Advice to have a spare spindle motor 

If you use our prototyping machine too frequently, we encourage you to have a 
spare spindle motor 

 

7. Warranty for spindle motor

 

The spindle motor is covered by one year warranty under normal use with appropriate 
maintenance.  However even within one year, if the total operation hours of the spindle 
motor exceeds 2000 hours, your spindle motor has to be repaired at your own expense.    .   

 

 

One year warranty does not cover damage by improper use as described above. The repair 
cost is expected to be substantially high as the repair needs the replacement of precision 
parts and precise assembly 

 

8. Overhaul

 

Basically, we encourage you to overhaul your spindle motor with more than 2000 
operation hours. After the overhaul, you will obtain the spindle motor having the similar 
features as a new one. 

 
9.  Collets are expendables 

Collets are expendables and need periodical replacement. 
It is time to replace the collet when the surface of the collet become lusterless or the collet 
is no longer able to chuck the tool bits securely enough.
