Scale, Ballscrew & Spindle Service

If your machine isn't holding size, is throwing scale alarms, or is showing erratic repeatability, these are the components we check first.

MMS handles linear scale diagnostics, ballscrew service, and spindle repair across Kellenberger, Jones & Shipman, USACH, Hardinge, Hauser, Palmary, Supertec, Okamoto, and many other grinders.

How we diagnose

Our process starts with key components: scale testing, backlash measurement, spindle runout checks, and signal verification. From there we perform targeted repairs — ballscrew replacement with backlash compensation, linear scale installation and calibration, bearing and seal replacement, and reader head alignment.

Whether it's a random scale alarm or workhead spindle runout, we bring the diagnostic tools and field experience to get your machine back to spec.
