Route 66 town, I-55 suppliers
Pontiac is proud of its Route 66 history, and it’s just as much an I-55 manufacturing town. Plants here supply automotive, equipment and food customers up and down the interstate, and the machine shops and fabricators around them make parts, fixtures and tooling.
That supplier work means robot cells, presses and automated lines alongside CNC mills and lathes. We repair both sides of the floor, and we document every repair for customers who ask for records.
Dwight, Fairbury and Odell
Dwight sits right on I-55 with manufacturers and distribution, Fairbury has a long-running industrial base along US-24, and Odell, Chenoa, Flanagan and Cullom have small shops of their own. One tech on the I-55 corridor can reach all of them.

Equipment we repair in Pontiac
Picked for Pontiac’s job shops and contract machining and food, beverage and packaging plants. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Spindle and servo rebuilds for Pontiac shops
Spindle rebuilds are a big part of what we do for job shops and contract machining in Pontiac: 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.
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.
Ask about a rebuild when you call 773-692-0269. More on spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.

Example service call
Robot cell stopping on a safety fault
The call
A supplier in Pontiac had a robot cell that kept stopping on a safety fault with no one near it.
What we did
- Phone. Safety faults with nobody in the cell usually mean a door switch, a light curtain or a wiring problem, so we asked which input showed.
- On site. A door switch was out of alignment and its cable was worn where the door swung.
- Fix. Replaced and aligned the switch and rerouted the cable.
- Check. Tested every safety input and ran the cell.
The result. The cell ran without false stops, and the safety circuit was verified.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
