Maintenance plans for Kankakee plants
On a production line, one weak part can stop everything. A plan checks lines and machines on a schedule and replaces wear parts before they fail. See maintenance plans.
Clean-room and food-grade rules, followed
Kankakee County’s food and pharmaceutical plants have strict rules for anyone working on the floor: gowning, sanitation, lockout, tool control and paperwork. Our techs follow them. We document what we touched, what we replaced and how we verified it, so your quality team has what it needs.
That care carries over to the metal shops and molders that supply those plants, where we fix CNC machines, molding machines and robots the same way.

Local know-how
Food, pharma and parts along I-57
Kankakee County sits an hour south of Chicago on I-57, and its industrial base has grown around food processing, pharmaceuticals, plastics and metalworking. Big plants anchor the area, with machine shops, fabricators and molders supplying them.
That means a lot of our calls here are about production lines: PLCs, conveyors, packaging machines and the drives and sensors that stop them. We also fix the CNC machines and fab equipment in the shops that support those plants.

An hour from Chicago
Close enough for fast service
Kankakee is close enough to Chicago that many shops assume they’ll get Chicago-speed service, and then find out the builder’s tech is booked for days. We treat Kankakee County as part of our regular route.
Our techs come with stocked vans and work across the whole plant: CNC machines, molding machines, robots, PLCs and conveyors. One call covers it.
Call 773-692-0269 with the machine and the problem.
Our services
Equipment we repair in Kankakee
Picked for Kankakee’s food, beverage and packaging plants and distribution and fulfillment. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Spindle rebuild and servo rebuild service in Kankakee
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.
Spindle rebuilds are a big part of what we do for food, beverage and packaging plants in Kankakee: 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.
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
Robot pick faults on a molding cell
The call
A molder in Bradley had a robot that kept faulting during part removal, stopping the cell several times a shift.
What we did
- Phone. Intermittent pick faults usually come from vacuum, a sensor or timing, so we asked what the fault messages said.
- On site. A vacuum generator was weak and a part-present sensor cable was chafed at the arm joint.
- Fix. Replaced the vacuum generator, rerouted and replaced the cable, and checked the handshake timing with the molding machine.
- Check. Ran the cell through a full shift change.
The result. The cell ran clean, and the shop added cable checks to its PM list.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.

Planning a visit
Line maintenance that pays off
On an automated line, one weak sensor or worn belt can stop everything. A maintenance plan checks the line on a schedule and replaces wear parts before they fail.
We back up PLC and robot programs every visit, so a failure never costs you your logic.
