Ag equipment country on I-80
Bureau County is some of the richest farmland in the state, and the shops around Princeton build and repair the equipment that works it: grain handling, tillage parts, trailers and frames. Those shops run press brakes, plasma tables, saws, welding robots and CNC machines, often all in the same building.
When the busy season hits, a down press brake or plasma table can cost a shop its delivery dates. We keep that equipment cutting and bending, and we help shops plan maintenance in the slow months so the busy months go smoothly.
Walnut, Wyanet and Tiskilwa

Local know-how
Manufacturing in farm country
Princeton sits on I-80 in the middle of some of the best farmland in the state, and its industry follows: ag equipment, food and feed processing, metal fabrication and machine shops, plus distribution along the interstate.
Shops here are often an hour or more from the nearest builder’s service office. We close that gap with techs who come to your floor ready to work.

Rebuilds
Rebuilding spindles and servo motors for Princeton manufacturers
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.
Not every noisy spindle needs a rebuild, and we’ll tell you when it doesn’t. When it does, we remove it, handle the rebuild with new bearings, seals and drawbar parts, and reinstall it in Princeton with runout, taper and drawbar force verified.
Ask about a rebuild when you call 773-692-0269. More on spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.

Example service call
Plasma table losing arc mid-cut
The call
A fabricator in Princeton had a plasma table that kept losing the arc partway through cuts in thick plate.
What we did
- Phone. Arc loss usually comes from consumables, gas or the torch lead, so we asked about consumable life and gas pressure.
- On site. The torch lead had a damaged connection and the gas pressure was dropping under flow.
- Fix. Replaced the lead connection, repaired the regulator and replaced the consumables.
- Check. Cut full plates in their thickest material.
The result. Clean, uninterrupted cuts again.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
