Mold shops and tool rooms run mills, lathes, EDMs and grinders. We repair them, and we handle spindle and servo rebuilds when they wear out. See spindle rebuilds and EDM repair.

A plan checks hydraulic oil, heaters, robots, sensors and drives on a schedule, so the machines that run around the clock stay running. See maintenance plans.
Serving Woodstock and nearby towns
Local know-how
More industry than the square lets on
Woodstock is best known for its historic square and opera house, and for the movie that was filmed there. Head out toward US-14 and Lake Avenue, though, and you’ll find plastics molders, pharmaceutical and packaging plants, metal fabricators and machine shops.
West on US-20, Marengo and Union have manufacturers of their own. These are smaller towns at the edge of Chicagoland, and they deserve the same fast service the suburbs get.

Edge of Chicagoland
Fast service at the edge of the suburbs
Woodstock and Marengo are close enough to Chicago that shops expect suburban response times, and far enough out that they often don’t get them. We cover McHenry County as part of our regular route.
One tech can handle the molding machine, the robot on top of it, the chiller beside it and the CNC mill in the tool room. That’s one call instead of four.

Our services
Equipment we repair in Woodstock
Picked for Woodstock’s plastic injection molding and automation. Anything else on the floor, we fix that too.
Rebuilds
Spindle rebuild and servo rebuild service in Woodstock
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 Woodstock 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
Molding machine short shots after a heater zone failure
The call
A molder in Woodstock had a machine making short shots on one side of a multi-cavity tool.
What we did
- Phone. Short shots on one side of the tool usually point to a heater, a thermocouple or a hot runner zone, so we asked for the zone temperatures.
- On site. A barrel heater band had failed, and the zone was running cold while the display read normal through a loose thermocouple.
- Fix. Replaced the heater band and thermocouple and checked the other zones.
- Check. Ran production shots and weighed parts from each cavity.
The result. Full parts from every cavity again.
A typical example of how these calls go, written to show our process. It isn’t a specific customer.

Maintenance for molders
Molding machines run around the clock, and hydraulic oil, heaters and robots wear. A maintenance plan checks them on a schedule.
For packaging lines, a plan keeps sensors, belts and drives in shape between sanitation cycles.
