When you’re working with heavy, high-value products like wheels, tires, or rotating components, secure handling from the inner diameter (ID) isn’t a preference—it’s a necessity.
At KUNDEL, we’ve engineered a semi-automated spindle tool for manufacturers who demand fast changeovers, precise ID grip, and operator-first safety—without overengineering the process.
Engineered for the Demands of Wheel & Tire Manufacturing
In fast-paced environments, flexibility is everything. This tool is built for production agility, enabling you to run multiple SKUs without delay.
- Multi-ID Settings – Switch between product dimensions on the fly
- Float Mode – Manipulate material mid-air for precise placement of heavy, delicate parts
- Rubber Expandable Bladder System – Inflates to grip firmly from the inner diameter without damaging surfaces
Whether you’re standardizing across lines or adapting to new production runs, this spindle tool keeps your operations lean and agile.
Safety & Speed—Without Compromise
Manual clamps and awkward lifts slow you down and increase injury risk. Our rubber, pneumatic bladder grips securely while reducing strain on your crew.
- Push-Button Load/Unload – Eliminates repetitive motion injuries
- Less Operator Fatigue – Safer ergonomics lead to greater productivity
🡆 Replacing an employee costs 6–9 months of their salary - Fewer Injury Risks –
🡆 Soft tissue injuries cost employers an average of $117,000 per incident - Faster Cycle Times –
🡆 U.S. manufacturers lose over $50 billion annually to downtime
One push of a button locks or releases the part—so your team can focus on quality, not lifting or repositioning.
Ready for Real Production Environments
This isn’t a test-bench prototype—it’s a production-ready tool designed for high-volume shops.
- No extensive automation investment
- No complicated software to integrate
- Just a smart, ergonomic solution that fits into your existing workflow
If you’re looking to reduce downtime, increase throughput, and protect your team, this tool delivers.
