Call 773-692-0269 with what stopped.
Motor, VFD and conveyor repair in Decatur processing plants
In a processing plant, one motor or drive can stop a line. We troubleshoot VFDs, motors, gearboxes and conveyors on site and help you decide whether to repair or replace. See motor and VFD repair and conveyor repair.
PLC and controls repair in Decatur
We troubleshoot Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, HMIs and networks, and back up programs before changing anything. More on PLC repair.
Large machine repair for heavy equipment suppliers
Suppliers to the heavy equipment plants run large machining centers, boring mills and lathes. We repair spindles, ways, rotary tables and hydraulics. See machining center repair and hydraulic repair.
Fabrication equipment repair in Macon County
Fabricators run press brakes, plasma tables and plate rolls. We fix angles, cut quality and hydraulics. See press brake repair and plate roll repair.
Maintenance plans for Decatur plants and shops
A plan checks motors, drives, gearboxes and PLCs in plants, and spindles and hydraulics in machine shops, on a schedule. See maintenance plans.
Working alongside Decatur's plant maintenance teams
Decatur’s processing plants have skilled maintenance crews, and we don’t try to replace them. We step in when a problem needs specialized time or tools: a VFD that keeps faulting with no clear cause, a PLC network that drops nodes, a servo system nobody on site has worked on, or a hydraulic system that’s running hot. We work with your people, show them what we found, and leave a written report.
For smaller shops and fabricators without maintenance staff, we take the whole job, from diagnosis to repair to a final test run.
Heavy machining around Decatur's equipment plants
The suppliers that machine and fabricate parts for mining and construction equipment run big horizontals, boring mills and vertical lathes, plus press brakes and plate rolls for heavy plate. Big machines need careful repairs: we plan spindle and rotary table work with you, check alignment and backlash after the fix, and set up maintenance so the next problem shows up as a measurement instead of a breakdown.

Local know-how
Ag processing and heavy equipment
Decatur calls itself the Soybean Capital of the World, and huge grain-processing plants anchor the city. It also builds heavy mining and construction equipment, and both industries rely on machine shops, fabricators and maintenance contractors.
That makes for two kinds of calls: big machining and fabrication equipment in supplier shops, and the motors, drives, conveyors and PLCs that keep processing plants running.

Heavy industry
Big plants, small shops
Decatur has both: huge plants with their own maintenance teams, and small shops with no maintenance team at all. We work with both.
For the big plants, we take on the specialized work: motors and drives, PLCs and controls, hydraulics. For small shops, we handle the whole repair and explain what we found.

Picked for Decatur’s heavy fabrication and structural steel and automation. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
When a spindle or servo motor is worn out in Decatur
For servo motors, a rebuild is often faster and cheaper than a new motor. We replace bearings and seals, replace and align the encoder, check the brake and megger the windings. If the windings are gone, we’ll tell you straight whether a rewind or an exchange motor makes more sense.
Not every noisy spindle needs a rebuild, and we’ll tell you when it doesn’t. When it does, we remove it, handle the rebuild with new bearings, seals and drawbar parts, and reinstall it in Decatur with runout, taper and drawbar force verified.
Ask about a rebuild when you call 773-692-0269. More on spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.

Example service call
Conveyor drive tripping on overcurrent
The call
A processing plant in Decatur had a conveyor drive that kept tripping on overcurrent during peak loading.
What we did
- Phone. Overcurrent under load points to the motor, the gearbox, the drive settings or the conveyor itself, so we asked when the trips happened.
- On site. A gearbox bearing was failing and dragging, and the drive’s acceleration was set too aggressively.
- Fix. Replaced the gearbox, adjusted drive acceleration and checked the motor’s insulation.
- Check. Ran the conveyor at full load through a shift.
The result. No more trips, and a plan to check the other gearboxes on the line.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
