Kenturn was founded in 1983. From the semi-automatic machine tool spindle to the CNC automatic machine tools, Kenturn has a series of spindles required by various machine tools, including turning, milling, grinding spindle, and providing spindle solutions planning for customers.
Kenturn’s President, Yeh Chan Shuo, said the increased use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) automated machinery in the 1980s had upped the requirement for the manufacturing industry as clients began demanding higher quality goods. Therefore, the company imported Swiss-made equipment for nano-grade processing to satisfy such demands.
In the late 90s, Kenturn made a significant breakthrough in the research and development of spindle technology, overcame various technical challenges, Kenturn launched the made-in-Taiwan 10,000 rpm BT50 built-in motor spindle, and obtained many patents, including the hydraulic tool change mechanism. Another significant breakthrough is the HSK-A63/ 30,000rpm spindle, which combines the mechanism for position preload and float preload, ensuring the spindle maintains high rigidity at slower operating rpm and, at the same time, achieves high-speed cutting requirements. It improves the spindle's performance to meet the needs of precision machining and high-efficiency cutting.

The R&D team strives for excellence and stable growth and is committed to providing the best solutions. Kenturn has the customization capability for precision machining and assembly needs. Whether it is a lathe, milling, or grinding application, Kenturn provides cost-effective spindle solutions with 40 years of spindle R&D experience.
Kenturn produces around 3,000 spindles per month, with over 4,000 specifications, of which more than 80% are customized products. To design, manufacture, and assembly, Kenturn controls the whole process to meet the needs and ideas of customers. Kenturn has been a significant contributor to the global precision manufacturing industry and provides a more refined experience for customers worldwide.
With the EU beginning the trials for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) this year, global machine tool manufacturers are paying more attention to ESG and net-zero carbon emissions. Observing this trend, Kenturn digitally upgraded its production lines last year to visualize and monitor the carbon emission data. By providing more information to the customers about carbon reduction, demonstrating its commitment to environmental protection.
In addition, to ensure the quality of the products, the spindles are set for a certain period for running tests. Kenturn also changed its running test system, saving half of the time and energy compared to the previous testing system. Which significantly improves the effect of energy saving and carbon reduction.
Kenturn optimized the internal design of spindles, which enables customers to reduce the air pressure volume by more than 40% during use and improves the energy-saving effect.
Also, Kenturn applied an anti-rust coating on the spindle's internal flowing path to improve the cooling efficiency of the cutting fluid, saving the need for an additional cooling system.
Kenturn continues to innovate and upgrade, focusing on automation and energy-efficient technologies, demonstrating its leading position in the industry. The company adheres to the principle of excellence and stable growth, provides customers with the best solutions, and is committed to sustainable development and social responsibility.
President Yeh said the machine tools used in the factory all use self-made spindles, and the spindles can maintain stability without an additional cooling system, saving 4% of the energy consumption per year.
Kenturn’s spindles are 100% MIT (Made in Taiwan). The company spares no expense to build an exclusive measurement laboratory and acquire the latest inspection equipment yearly, such as coordinate measuring machines, roundness measuring instruments, and length measuring machines for precise control inspection of the spindle production process with the highest standards.

To ensure the accuracy of the spindle, Kenturn has acquired more than 30 sets of dynamic balancing machines and cooperated with scientific research institutions to set up a variety of dynamic balancing detection systems to ensure the accuracy and standards of the products in the manufacturing process, and also help to adjust customers' equipment to make the spindle and equipment reach the best state. Kenturn continues to study innovative technologies, actively strengthens the strength of the spindle design and manufacturing team, and provides solutions from the customer's perspective.
Kenturn spindles received high praise from the international market. One of the Swiss watch manufacturers stated that the accuracy and quality of the spindles are as precise as the European brands. Other clients from Japan and the US expressed similar opinions and trust in the company’s timely delivery, reliable products, and solutions.
Kenturn recognizes that a company is only as great as its employees and regularly holds technical training events and workshops for its employees to continue to foster and grow their professional aptitude. It also encourages its employees to attend innovative and ameliorative events to help the company grow in innovativeness.
Kenturn will continue to uphold the spirit of excellence and steady growth and is committed to becoming an industry leader to create better value for customers and society.
