Precision Machine Tool Rebuilding & Retrofitting
We rebuild and retrofit machine tools for tool rooms and production floors, both mechanical and CNC. On-site service, hydraulic repair, way grinding, and full remanufacturing.
Serving tool rooms and production floors throughout the Northeast. CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI and VT.
Mechanical Retrofitting
Complete mechanical retrofitting of machine tools including spindle rebuilds, gear train restoration, and precision realignment to factory specifications.
Scraping
Hand scraping for fine work in small areas and round bearings. Power scrapers for fast, true way alignments on larger areas. Straight edge masters from three inches to twelve feet, with lasers, precision electronic indicators, and electronic levels combined with metrology software.
On-Site Repairs
We diagnose machine tool problems from the machining problem level, not just the slide-way table repair level. We take a machine tool repair from diagnosis through correction of the root cause.
On-Site Way Grinding
A proprietary process for grinding ways in place, on your floor. Way surfaces restored to factory flatness and geometry without the rigging, trucking and months of downtime that sending the machine out costs. About two weeks on site.
How long does it take? The answer →Way Liner Installation
Moglice, Rulon, and Turcite way liner installation to restore slide and way surfaces. An economical alternative to full regrinding where geometry allows, with excellent wear characteristics and low stick-slip.
CNC Retrofitting
Retrofitting machinery with CNC controls from GE Fanuc and Siemens. Machine upgrades of controllers and machinery mechanical assemblies for modern production requirements.
Diagnostics
Comprehensive machine tool diagnostics using precision measurement equipment to identify the root cause of machining problems and chart the path to correction.
Metrology
Two types of lasers, precision electronic indicators, two types of electronic levels, and specific metrology software for plotting way surfaces, grafting work, and checking alignments.
Rebuilding & Remanufacturing
Full machine tool rebuilding and remanufacturing to restore your equipment to like-new condition. We handle everything from disassembly and inspection through final testing and certification.
