Local know-how
The Pretzel City makes more than pretzels
Freeport is the Stephenson County seat, about 30 miles west of Rockford on US-20, and it’s been a manufacturing town since the railroad came through. Electronics and sensors, tires and wheels, animal feed and metal parts have all come out of Freeport plants, and the machine shops and fabricators that support them are spread around town.
Shops out here are used to waiting on service techs who are based in Rockford, Madison or Chicago. We’d rather not make you wait. A tech heads west on US-20 with a stocked van and the parts most repairs need.

Why Freeport shops call us
A lot of Freeport’s machine shops are family businesses that have been running for decades. They know their machines, and what they need is a tech who can step in when a problem is beyond their own maintenance.
We come with meters, tools and common parts, explain what we find, and give you the price and lead time before anything is ordered. If a spindle or servo motor is worn out, we handle the rebuild too.
Call 773-692-0269 from Freeport, Lena or anywhere in Stephenson County.

Equipment we repair in Freeport
Picked for Freeport’s precision machining and food, beverage and packaging plants. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Freeport spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds
A rumbling, hot or loose spindle in a Freeport shop usually means bearings. We measure it first so you know it really is the bearings and not a belt, the drawbar or the chiller. Then we pull it, manage the rebuild, and put it back in with runout and drawbar force checked.
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.
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
Assembly cell stopping on a pneumatic fault
The call
An assembly plant in Freeport had a press-fit station that kept faulting on a cylinder position alarm, stopping the cell several times an hour.
What we did
- Phone. A cylinder position fault usually means air pressure, a sticking valve or a sensor, so we asked if it happened at every cycle or only sometimes.
- On site. A flow control was clogged and the cylinder was reaching position just past the PLC timeout.
- Fix. Replaced the flow control and filter element, set the speed and checked the timeout.
- Check. Ran the cell through a full shift.
The result. The cell ran clean, and the plant added the filter to its PM list.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
