The machines we see most in Springfield
Springfield’s shops tend to run a little of everything: a couple of vertical machining centers, a CNC lathe, a manual mill, a band saw, a press brake and a plasma table. That variety is why one repair team for the whole floor makes sense. Instead of calling the mill dealer, the brake dealer and an electrician, you call us once.
We see a lot of older Fanuc-controlled machines here, plus Haas machines and some Okuma and Mazak. Common calls include tool changers that stall, axis alarms after a crash, coolant pumps and way lube failures, press brake angle problems and plasma bevels.
Jacksonville and Lincoln are part of our Springfield route

Local know-how
Central Illinois shops
Springfield’s manufacturing is quieter than its politics, but it’s real: job shops, fabricators, food and printing plants, and shops that build and repair equipment for agriculture, rail and utilities.
West on I-72, Jacksonville has its own manufacturing base, and Lincoln, up I-55, has plants and shops too. We cover all of them.

Small shops, steady work
Repair for Springfield's steady shops
Many of Springfield’s machine shops and fabricators are small and steady, with long-time customers and long-time machines. They don’t break down often, but when they do, it matters.
We fix the machine, explain what failed, and tell you what to watch for next. If a part has to be ordered, you’ll know the price and lead time first.

Our services
Equipment we repair in Springfield
Picked for Springfield’s job shops and contract machining and automation. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Rebuilding spindles and servo motors for Springfield manufacturers
We rebuild Fanuc, Siemens, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi and other servo motors: bearings, seals, encoders, brakes and a full electrical test. Then we put the motor back on the machine and tune the axis, so the repair actually holds.
A rumbling, hot or loose spindle in a Springfield shop usually means bearings. We measure it first so you know it really is the bearings and not a belt, the drawbar or the chiller. Then we pull it, manage the rebuild, and put it back in with runout and drawbar force checked.
Read more about spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds, or call 773-692-0269 and tell us which spindle or servo is acting up.

Example service call
Plasma table cutting with a bevel
The call
A fabricator in Springfield had a plasma table that started cutting with a bevel on one side of every part.
What we did
- Phone. A bevel on one side usually comes from worn consumables, torch height or gantry squareness, so we asked when the consumables were last changed.
- On site. The torch height control was reading wrong, and the gantry was slightly out of square.
- Fix. Repaired the torch height sensing, squared the gantry and set the cut parameters.
- Check. Cut test parts in their most common thickness.
The result. Square edges again, and less grinding on every part.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
