General Motors - Colonial has been the pioneer in the industry when offering the "Free Replacement Spindle" to those qualified customers who have engaged Colonial to lower their Life Cycle Costs. GM put Colonial to the task of developing a modular spindle series "GMB" that could be used in virtually every transfer line applications, in any configuration imaginable. This yeilded the commonization of potentially 50 different styles of spindle into 6 modular spindle units where attitude, tooling, speed, preload and drive could be accomodated. The net result was more than $2.0m of savings to GM in spare part puchases, and an estimated $600k per year of labors savings.

MAG - Colonial has been Cross Hueller's parts and service representative on their Sphect machine spindles in North America for the past 10 years. Colonial with MAG and Ford developed a customized "Loop Spindle Process" to increase Mean Time Between Failures MTBF of the spindles, reduce the Mean Time To Repair MTTR and elimininate the costs of spare parts. The net result to MAG and Ford has been lower life cycle costs or the Lowest Cost Per Peice. Please contact Colonial to have a qualified sales person discuss the opportunity to your company.
