Production lathe and turning center repair in Danville
Auto parts plants run production lathes and turning centers hard. We fix chucks that lose grip, turret faults, spindle drives and accuracy problems. More on lathe repair.
Forging press and hydraulic repair in Vermilion County
Forging and heavy press work depends on hydraulics, clutches and brakes. We repair pumps, valves, cylinders and press controls. See hydraulic repair and press repair.
Grinder repair for Danville parts makers
Grinders finish the parts that matter most. We repair wheelheads, tables, dressers and coolant systems. More on grinder repair.

Food plants run conveyors, packaging and PLCs. We fix the line and follow your rules. More on conveyor repair.
Retrofits for older Danville machines
Older machines can keep running with the right repairs, and a retrofit when control parts are gone. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth it. More on control repair.
Maintenance plans for Danville plants
Plants that never stop wear machines out faster. A plan keeps up with hydraulics, spindles and chucks. See maintenance plans.
Keeping around-the-clock Danville plants running
A lot of Danville plants run three shifts, and that changes how a repair has to go. There’s no good time to shut a line down, so we work fast, tell your supervisor exactly how long the machine will be out, and get it back as soon as it’s safe to run. When a part has to be ordered, we help you find a way to keep running in the meantime if one exists.
We also look past the alarm to the cause. A chuck that’s losing grip, a press that’s running hot or a turret that’s slow to index usually has a reason, and fixing that reason keeps the same call from coming back next month.
Hoopeston, Westville and the rest of Vermilion County
Hoopeston’s food plants and metal shops, Westville’s and Georgetown’s small manufacturers, and the shops scattered across the county all count on us the same way Danville does. Small towns have machine shops too, and they get the same tech and the same written summary after every visit.

Rebuilds
Spindle and servo rebuilds for Danville shops
We rebuild Fanuc, Siemens, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi and other servo motors: bearings, seals, encoders, brakes and a full electrical test. Then we put the motor back on the machine and tune the axis, so the repair actually holds.
In Danville, 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.
Read more about spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds, or call 773-692-0269 and tell us which spindle or servo is acting up.

Example service call
Production lathe chuck losing grip
The call
A parts plant in Danville had a turning center whose chuck started letting parts slip during heavy cuts.
What we did
- Phone. Parts slipping in the chuck usually comes from low hydraulic pressure, a worn cylinder or dirty jaws, so we asked what the pressure gauge showed.
- On site. The chuck cylinder was leaking internally, so it couldn’t hold full grip pressure.
- Fix. Rebuilt the cylinder, cleaned and greased the chuck and set the pressure.
- Check. Ran heavy cuts and checked parts for slip marks.
The result. Full grip and no more slipping parts.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
