To the inexperienced, the teardown and inspection process may seem rather simple. After all, it would seem that anyone can take a machine apart. However, this is one of the most important steps in the rebuild process. To prevent serious problems during reassembly and operation, our technicians carefully remove all electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and lubrication systems, along with all major components and break them down to their individual pieces. All machine ways are machined, ground and/or hand scraped for precision alignment.  Each and every piece is then cleaned prior to inspection to determine the amount of wear or damage.

Naturally, all worn components are either repaired or replaced. In the process of rebuilding a machine, we also evaluate the spindle condition; replace all bearings; inspect and grind bearing journals as required; grind, scrape and fit all parts to the point that they’re as good as new, and rebuild or replace all hydraulic and electric motors. Only then do we begin the process of mounting and aligning the machine’s components. In the final steps, the machine is started and components are tested for placement and performance.
