Local know-how
Ag equipment country
Moline is home to one of the world’s biggest farm equipment makers, and a deep supplier base has grown around it: machine shops, fabricators, gear and transmission makers, foundries and welding shops all over the Illinois side of the Quad Cities.

Heavy work
Big machines for big parts
Quad Cities shops cut big parts: frames, housings, axles and castings. That means large horizontal machining centers, boring mills, vertical turning lathes and heavy fabrication equipment, and repairs that need a tech who’s comfortable with big iron.
We repair spindles, rotary tables, way systems and hydraulics on large machines, and we know how to work around a part that’s too big to move. When a large machine goes down, we plan the repair with you so the fix gets done right the first time.
Call 773-692-0269 with the machine and what it’s doing.
Our services
Equipment we repair in Moline and the Quad Cities
Picked for Moline and the Quad Cities’s heavy fabrication and steel service and processing. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
When a spindle or servo motor is worn out in Moline and the Quad Cities
In Moline and the Quad Cities, a spindle that’s starting to fail shows up as chatter, heat, a bad finish or tools pulling out. We find out whether it’s bearings or something simpler. If it’s bearings, we take care of the whole spindle rebuild, from removal to reinstall and alignment.
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.
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
Weld robot drifting off the seam
The call
A supplier in East Moline had a robotic weld cell whose welds started wandering off the joint on one side of the fixture.
What we did
- Phone. Welds drifting on one side point to the fixture, the positioner or the robot’s calibration, so we asked whether it was one robot or both.
- On site. A positioner had taken a hit, and its zero had shifted slightly.
- Fix. Recalibrated the positioner, checked the robot’s tool center point and touched up the program points.
- Check. Ran production parts and checked the welds against the drawing.
The result. Welds back on the seam, and the shop learned how to check positioner zero after a crash.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
