Machine Tool Rebuilds
When purchasing new isn't the answer, KRC Machine Tool Solutions provides comprehensive machine tool rebuilding services that restore your equipment to its original mechanical specifications—at a fraction of the cost of new. The best candidates for machine tool rebuilding are production units less than 12 years old with a reliable CNC control still in service.
What is a Machine Tool Rebuild?
Machine tool rebuilding is the complete mechanical overhaul of a machine to its original OEM specifications—without the need for a new CNC control. All mechanical components are cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt using new or re-machined parts.
- CNC control issues only? A CNC Retrofit may be the right fit.
- Need mechanical and CNC work? Remanufacture is the solution.
- Machine deteriorating mechanically? A machine tool rebuild is likely your most cost-effective option.
KRC Machine Tool Solutions specializes in rebuilds for boring mills, gantry mills, and bridge mill machines.
Is Your Machine a Candidate for a Rebuild?
The most common signs your machine tool needs rebuilding include:
- Increased uplanned downtime and rising maintenance costs
- Declining part accuracy or surface finish quality
- Worn ways, bearings, or ball screws
- Deteriorating mechanical components with a CNC control still in good condition
If your CNC controls are performing well but your machine's mechanical integrity is declining, it is likely a strong candidate for a machine tool rebuild.
The Machine Tool Rebuilding Process
- Rebuilding all mechanical components including replacement of all bearings and seals
- Grinding of the hardened ways, hand scraping of wear surfaces, or replacement of linear guides
- Ball screw repair or replacement
- Hydraulic and lube system rebuild, including new valves and hoses
- Repair or replacement of way wipers and way covers
- Painting and surface finishing
- Return of machine geometric alignments, as well as positioning accuracy, to OEM specs
Our experienced field service engineers manage removal, installation, and any additional CNC machine tool services required.
