Most of our modern PCB Drilling & Routing spindles are fitted with a bonded collet, which cannot be removed by the customer. In this case, the spindle should be sent to Celera Motion’s Westwind authorized repair center to have a new collet fitted. However, some products are still fitted with a removable collet, and in this case, the customer should contact the closest Air Bearing Spindles Center of Excellence found in the Contact section of our website, to discuss which part to order.

Supply pressure for the cooling water of a PCB Drilling & Routing Series spindle should be 3 to 4 bar (43.5 – 58 psi). Specifications for the PCB Drilling & Routing Series can be found here.
