What’s Happening in This Picture?

In this photo, a technician at Centerline, Inc. is performing a spindle balancing procedure using advanced measurement and correction equipment. Balancing ensures that rotating parts — like spindles and assemblies — run smoothly, without vibration or chatter that can damage tools, reduce accuracy, and shorten machine life.


Why Spindle Balancing Matters

When a spindle is out of balance, even by a fraction, it can cause:

  • Excess vibration during machining

  • Poor surface finishes and out-of-tolerance parts

  • Increased tool and bearing wear

  • Unexpected downtime and costly repairs

Balancing isn’t just about smoother rotation — it directly impacts productivity, accuracy, and overall machine health.
