Call 773-692-0269 with the machine and what it’s doing.
Precision and 5-axis repair for research and prototype shops
Prototype and research shops near campus run high-end mills and lathes, often on one-off work. We repair accuracy, thermal and control problems carefully and verify the machine before you cut another part. See mill repair and spindle repair.
Food plant and packaging line repair in Champaign
Food plants run packaging lines, conveyors and PLCs around sanitation cycles. We fix the line and follow your rules. More on packaging line repair.
Injection molding repair in Rantoul and Champaign
Molders run hydraulic and electric machines. We fix clamp, injection, heater and hydraulic problems. More on molding machine repair.
PLC, motor and VFD repair in Champaign County
Line stops often trace back to a PLC, drive or motor. We troubleshoot them on site. See PLC repair and motor and VFD repair.
Fabrication equipment repair in Urbana and Tuscola
Fabricators run press brakes and lasers. We fix angles, backgauges and cut quality. See press brake repair and laser repair.
Maintenance plans for Champaign-Urbana
Precision machines need to stay precise, and food lines need to run between sanitation cycles. A maintenance plan does both. See maintenance plans.
Rantoul's industrial park and Tuscola's plants
Rantoul turned its old air base into an industrial park, and it’s now home to manufacturers running molding machines, fabrication equipment and automated lines. Tuscola, south on I-57, has its own plants and shops. Both are part of our Champaign-Urbana route, so the nearest tech can reach them quickly.
Mahomet, Savoy, St. Joseph, Paxton and Monticello have small machine shops and fabricators of their own, and we serve them the same way.
Careful repairs for one-off and research work
When a part is the only one of its kind, or a test rig is part of a funded project, a scrapped part costs more than money. We treat those machines carefully: we back up the control, record the settings, fix the cause and verify the machine with test cuts or measurements before handing it back.

Local know-how
Food, research and manufacturing
Champaign has large food plants, and they bring packaging lines, conveyors, PLCs and drives. The university’s research park and engineering programs support prototype and precision shops, and Rantoul’s former air base is now an industrial park.
South on I-57, Tuscola has its own industry. Our calls here are as varied as the area: a 5-axis machine in a prototype shop one day, a packaging line the next.

Rebuilds
Rebuilding spindles and servo motors for Champaign-Urbana manufacturers
A worn servo motor doesn’t have to mean a long wait for a new one from the builder. We rebuild it with new bearings and seals, a replaced and aligned encoder, brake service and a winding test, then reinstall it and retune the axis so it runs smooth.
Spindle rebuilds are a big part of what we do for food, beverage and packaging plants in Champaign-Urbana: 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.
One call covers the diagnosis, the rebuild and the reinstall: 773-692-0269. See spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.

Example service call
Prototype shop mill losing accuracy
The call
A prototype shop near the research park had a 5-axis mill whose parts were coming out of tolerance after the machine warmed up.
What we did
- Phone. Accuracy that changes after warm-up points to heat, so we asked about the spindle chiller and the shop’s temperature.
- On site. The spindle chiller was low on coolant and its fan was failing.
- Fix. Repaired the chiller, refilled it and checked the thermal compensation settings.
- Check. Ran a warm-up cycle and cut a test part.
The result. Parts held tolerance from first piece to last.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.

Planning a visit
Protecting precision work
Research and prototype parts are often one-offs, and a scrapped part costs time you don’t have. A maintenance plan keeps precision machines precise.
For food plants, a plan keeps lines running between sanitation cycles.
