Maintenance plans in Centralia
A plan with a local tech catches problems early. See maintenance plans.
Oil field iron and rail-town shops
Centralia sits on the edge of the Illinois Basin oil patch, and a lot of local shops grew up machining and repairing oil field equipment: pump jack parts, valves, couplings and heavy shafts. That work means big lathes, horizontal boring, saws and hydraulic presses, much of it on older machines that are worth keeping.
We keep those machines running. On an older lathe that means spindle bearings, clutches, gearbox shifting and hydraulic chucks. On a newer CNC it means drives, encoders and controls. Either way, you get a tech who explains what failed and what it costs before anything is ordered.
Salem, Carlyle and the US-50 corridor

Sandoval, Odin and Central City round out the area. We plan routes along US-50 so a tech can reach any of them without a second trip.

Rebuilds
Centralia spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds
Spindle rebuilds are a big part of what we do for metal fabrication in Centralia: 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.
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
Mill tool changer stalling
The call
A machine shop in Centralia had a vertical mill whose tool changer stalled halfway through a change.
What we did
- Phone. A stall mid-change usually means a sensor, air pressure or the changer motor, so we asked for the alarm number.
- On site. A carousel position sensor had failed and the air pressure was low.
- Fix. Replaced the sensor, fixed the air leak and checked the changer timing.
- Check. Ran hundreds of tool changes.
The result. Reliable tool changes and the shop back to running jobs.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
