This photo shows an EPPINGER 317604-T5 spindle head. The maker’s nameplate is attached to the housing.

**Detailed visual description**

The unit is a compact square housing with a threaded tool bore on the front. A locking collar sits around the threaded bore and is held with socket screws. A polished cylindrical shaft extends from the side and appears serviceable. The housing has surface scratches and light handling marks but no obvious cracked castings. The EPPINGER nameplate is legible on the top of the housing.

**What the visible parts tell us**

The threaded bore and collar suggest a tool mounting interface. The long shaft indicates this part transmits torque to another assembly. Fasteners and mounting bosses show it is built for machine integration. The nameplate includes model markings that help match service records and replacement parts.
