High-speed line repair in Streator
Glass and container lines run conveyors, servo systems, drives and PLCs at speed. We find the sensor, drive or motor stopping the line, and we back up programs first. See automation repair and PLC repair.
Servo motor rebuilds for Streator production lines
Servo motors on high-speed lines wear bearings and encoders. We rebuild them, reinstall them and tune the axis. More on servo rebuilds.
Machine shop repair in Streator
Shops that make line parts run mills, lathes and grinders. We fix alarms, spindles and accuracy, and handle spindle rebuilds. See mill repair and grinder repair.
Hydraulic and motor repair near Dwight
We repair hydraulics, motors and VFDs on plant equipment and distribution conveyors. More on motor and VFD repair.
Maintenance for high-speed lines
A plan checks bearings, belts and servo motors before they stop the line. See maintenance plans.
A century of glass
Streator has made glass for well over a hundred years, and a glass container plant still runs on the north side. Container lines move fast and run hot, with forming machines, conveyors, inspection and packing, all driven by servos, drives and PLCs.
When a servo axis faults or a conveyor drive trips, we diagnose it on site, rebuild the worn motor if that’s the problem, and tune the axis back up. The machine shops in town that make parts for those lines get the same service on their mills, lathes and grinders.
Serving Streator and nearby towns
Local know-how
A glass town on the Vermilion
Streator built its name on glass bottles and clay products, and a glass container plant still runs here. Glassmaking means high-speed automated lines, conveyors, drives and PLCs, and the machine shops in town make and repair the parts those lines need.
We repair both: the automation and plant equipment in the big plants, and the CNC machines and fab equipment in the shops.

Small town, big lines
Big-plant service in a small town
Streator is a small city with plants that run lines as complex as any in Chicago. When one goes down, the plant needs a tech who knows drives, servos and PLCs, not just a general handyman.
That’s us. We come with stocked vans and work alongside your maintenance team, and we rebuild servo motors and spindles when they’re worn out.
Call 773-692-0269 from Streator or anywhere nearby.

Equipment we repair in Streator
Picked for Streator’s automated assembly and distribution and fulfillment. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Spindle rebuild and servo rebuild service in Streator
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.
In Streator, a spindle that’s starting to fail shows up as chatter, heat, a bad finish or tools pulling out. We find out whether it’s bearings or something simpler. If it’s bearings, we take care of the whole spindle rebuild, from removal to reinstall and alignment.
Ask about a rebuild when you call 773-692-0269. More on spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.

Example service call
Servo axis faulting on a transfer line
The call
A plant in Streator had a servo-driven transfer that kept faulting on following error at full speed.
What we did
- Phone. Following error at speed points to the mechanics, the tuning or a failing motor, so we asked whether anything had been changed.
- On site. The servo motor’s bearing was rough and the encoder had coolant in its connector.
- Fix. Rebuilt the motor with new bearings and a new encoder, reinstalled it and retuned the axis.
- Check. Ran the line at full speed through a shift.
The result. The transfer ran clean at full speed.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.
