Balancing Machine Rebuilds & Retools

Rebuild and rewire worn balancing machines to deliver performance comparable to new, typically at a 40% cost saving versus buying new equipment. We also retool machines for new components, on balancing machines of any make, ours and competitors'.

What's included

What a Rebuild Covers

New life, same machine.

A rebuild is a cost-effective way to expand capability and extend machine lifetime.

Rebuild

  • Rebuild and rewire machines to deliver performance comparable to new
  • Strip-down, realignment and test of worn mechanisms
  • Replace controls and drives when parts are no longer made
  • Retrofit safety systems to meet current CE/UL standards

Retool

  • Retrofit workholding, tooling and fixtures to handle new components
  • Option to add modern correction systems for faster cycle times
  • Add new functionality such as automated drilling or advanced software
  • Upgrade the measuring system to UltraX

Which route

Rebuild, Upgrade or Replace?

The right fix for the machine.

SituationUsual answer
Machine is worn, or needs to run a different partRebuild and retool
Mechanics are sound; electronics or PC are obsoleteUpgrade the measuring electronics and controls
Machine no longer meets current safety requirementsRetrofit safety systems to CE/UL
Cycle time is the problem, not accuracyAdd a modern correction system or automation
Capacity or part size is beyond the frameA new machine. See the range.

Why rebuild

Why Rebuild Instead of Buying New

Keep the frame, renew the rest.

The frame, bed and spindle usually outlast the electronics by decades. A rebuild keeps the parts that are still good and renews the parts that are not, typically at a 40% cost saving versus buying new equipment.

When parts for a machine's controls are no longer made, one failure can stop the line. A rebuild replaces them before that happens.

We rebuild every balancing and test machine, ours and competitors'. If only the measuring electronics are out of date, an upgrade may be all the machine needs. For breakdowns, see repair.

FAQ

Balancing Machine Rebuild FAQs

How much does a rebuild save compared with a new machine?

Typically 40%.

Will a rebuilt machine perform like a new one?

We rebuild and rewire machines to deliver performance comparable to new, then calibrate and certify them.

Can you rebuild a machine made by another manufacturer?

Yes. We support every balancing and test machine, ours and competitors'.

Can you adapt our machine for a new part?

Yes. We retrofit workholding, tooling and fixtures to handle new components.

What is the difference between a rebuild and an upgrade?

An upgrade renews the measuring electronics and controls on a machine whose mechanics are sound. A rebuild also renews the worn mechanical parts, or retools the machine for a different part.
