A down machine needs a diagnosis, not a guess
The visible alarm is not always the root cause. We troubleshoot the whole machine — mechanics, electrics, controls, drives, feedback, and geometry.
We fix it til' it's fixt.
Veteran-founded CNC machine tool repair, retrofit, and calibration. We identify the cause, complete the repair, and verify the machine is ready to return to production.

Is the machine down, or is it drifting?
Two problems, two plans. Pick the one that sounds like your machine and we’ll point you to the right next step.
It runs, but something is off
Schedule the repair before it schedules you
Planned repair fits machines that run but show wear, drift, noise, intermittent alarms, or declining accuracy. Scheduling early keeps downtime on your terms.
One team for the whole machine
A machine problem rarely stays in one discipline. A worn component can create an electrical fault, and a control alarm can point back to a mechanical cause. Keeping those disciplines together reduces handoffs and helps us follow the problem to its source.

How a service call works
Tell us what the machine is doing
Send the machine make, model, serial number, control type, alarm information, and a description of what happened before the problem appeared. Photos or short videos can help us prepare.
Assess and define the work
A scheduled estimating visit may be provided at no charge when agreed in advance. A dispatched diagnostic or service visit carries a four-hour labor minimum plus travel.
Approve the estimate
We provide an estimate for the recommended work and identify required parts when they can be determined in advance. Andy Moore remains involved in reviewing and scoping quoted repairs.
Repair, measure, and verify
Our technicians complete the approved work and verify the result with the measurement and diagnostic equipment appropriate to the machine.
HEIDENHAIN, from the control to the scale
A successful control project is not only an electrical installation. The machine's mechanical condition, feedback devices, motors, drives, safety systems, geometry, and production requirements all influence the result. We evaluate those systems together before recommending a scope.
