NF Trading S.r.l. offers a carefully selected range of high-precision spindles, both new and refurbished, including Westwind spindles and other premium brands upon request, ensuring reliability, high performance, and long service life for PCB drilling operations.

Spindles are a strategic component within the production process, as their stability and precision directly impact hole quality and tool life, contributing to scrap reduction and improved production efficiency.

Spindle Maintenance: Key to Maximizing Performance

Westwind air bearing spindles are renowned for their reliability and long operational life. However, to ensure optimal performance, it is essential that spindles are correctly installed, managed, and maintained throughout their service life.

NF Trading supports customers with dedicated training and technical assistance to ensure proper spindle maintenance, providing operational guidelines on:
✅ Air supply and cooling system management
✅ Maintenance of spindles with integrated collets
✅ Maintenance of spindles with removable collets
✅ Diaphragm checks and service components
✅ Air bearing spindle installation procedures
✅ Run-out measurement procedures

These activities are essential to preserve spindle performance, reduce downtime, and extend operational life, even during continuous multi-shift production.

Warranty and After-Sales Service

Refurbished spindles supplied by NF Trading are covered by a warranty against repair defects for up to 1,000 operating hours or 6 months from delivery (whichever comes first).

During this period, should any malfunction occur due to repair-related defects (and not resulting from wear or misuse), NF Trading will manage the spindle repair through its service centers, covering repair and transport costs if non-conformity is confirmed.

The warranty does not cover:
– Defects due to normal wear and tear
– Improper use or excessive loading
– Unauthorized modifications to the product

Customers are required to allow NF Trading to inspect the spindle and must notify any visible defects within 2 weeks of delivery, in accordance with applicable regulations.

Unlike other suppliers, NF Trading guarantees transparency and technical support throughout the entire spindle lifecycle, with the goal of maintaining customers’ production lines in operation and ensuring production continuity.
