Remanufactured Spindles Reduce Repair Costs

Fala Technologies Inc. and Sparetech Inc. are offering a high-performance remanufactured spindle for use in the Lam Research/SEZ Da Vinci DV34 and DV38 wet etch tools.

Laura Peters, Editor-in-Chief -- Semiconductor International, 10/2/2009

Fala Technologies Inc. (Kingston, N.Y.), an independent thin-section bearing manufacturer, and Sparetech Inc. (New Milford, Conn.), a distributor of specialty parts, are offering a high-performance remanufactured spindle for use in the Lam Research/SEZ Da Vinci DV34 and DV38 wet etch tools.

The rebuilt spindles improve performance over original OEM parts, while costing less and having a longer, more predictable service life. "Companies that utilize multiple Da Vinci tools can expect to save more than $100,000 per year on spindles," said Fred Bouchard, sales manager of Sparetech.

A high-performance remanufactured spindle, for use in Lam Research's Da Vinci DV34 and DV38 wet etch tools, helps extend tool life.


The spindles use high-precision shielded ceramic hybrid bearings containing a high-performance non-fluorinated lubricant, and are rated to 16,000 rpm. Used or broken spindles are disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt with new bearings to Fala specifications, which are better than original OEM specs, Bouchard said. Refurbished parts are returned in two weeks. The remanufactured spindles are warranted for two years.
