What type of collet maintenance does Westwind recommend on my PCB spindle and how often?
This should be carried out at intervals recommended by the machine manufacturer. You are strongly advised to refer to the appropriate Westwind collet maintenance booklet (available free on request), and to use the Westwind collet maintenance kit available through your machine supplier. However, as a general rule we would recommend a maximum of 5,000 hours between removal/cleaning/re-setting, although some end users maintain their collets every 100 hours.
