Local know-how
A river town that builds things
Dixon is the Lee County seat, best known as Ronald Reagan’s boyhood home, but it’s also a working manufacturing town. Machine shops, fabricators and food and packaging plants sit along the river and out by I-88, and smaller shops are spread through Amboy, Ashton and Franklin Grove.
Shops here are often a long way from a builder’s service office. We close that gap with techs who come to your floor, ready to work on the mills, lathes and plant equipment you actually run.

Sauk Valley coverage
Part of our Sauk Valley route
Dixon is the hub of our Sauk Valley coverage, between Sterling and Rock Falls to the west and Oregon and Byron to the north. That means a tech working in the valley can often get to you the same day.
Shops here tell us the hardest part of a breakdown is finding someone who will come out at all. We do, and we bring the meters, tools and common parts to fix most problems on the first visit.
Call 773-692-0269 with the machine, the control and the alarm.
Our services
Equipment we repair in Dixon
Picked for Dixon’s precision machining and automation. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Spindle rebuild and servo rebuild service in Dixon
Servo motors get the same treatment. When a motor has a failing bearing, a wet or damaged encoder, a brake that won’t hold or worn seals, we rebuild it instead of making you wait on a new one, then reinstall it and tune the axis.
Spindle rebuilds are a big part of what we do for precision machining in Dixon: new bearings, seals and drawbar parts, an assembly that’s balanced and checked, then reinstalled and aligned in your machine with the numbers written down.
Details are on our spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds pages, and a tech is one call away at 773-692-0269.

Example service call
Injection molding machine losing clamp tonnage
The call
A molder in Dixon had a hydraulic molding machine that started flashing parts because it wasn’t building full clamp pressure.
What we did
- Phone. Low clamp tonnage usually points to a leaking valve, a worn pump or a sensor, so we asked what the pressure readings showed.
- On site. A clamp valve was bypassing internally, and the oil was running hot.
- Fix. Replaced the valve, checked the pump output and cleaned the oil cooler.
- Check. Ran production shots and watched clamp pressure and oil temperature.
The result. Full tonnage and clean parts, with oil temperature back in range.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
