Manufacturing Equipment Repair Services

Manufacturing Equipment Overview

What is manufacturing equipment, exactly? It’s essentially any engineered device which helps you to manufacture your specific items more effectively. There are machining tools, cutting tools, CNC machines, heavy lifting tools, and a wide range of robotics tools currently in use today. But no matter the specific application, many of these tools are driven by similar technologies internally. And when it comes to the essential components which make manufacturing equipment go, the AES team are experts when it comes to repairs and refurbishment.

What Are Some Common Issues with Manufacturing Devices & Equipment?

Just as any other type of electronic or mechanical equipment can eventually break down, the same holds true for manufacturing equipment as well. And whenever that happens, your entire production assembly system could come to a grinding halt until the necessary issues are addressed. Here are some of the more common issues we see in our restoration of manufacturing equipment at AES:

Improper maintenance

Inadequate maintenance, or a simple lack of maintenance, can result in a variety of machine issues and equipment breakdowns. Without a regular schedule of maintenance in place – including inspection, testing, cleaning, lubrication, and component adjustment & replacement, many types of manufacturing equipment will experience premature failures.

Operator accidents

In many cases, the fault doesn’t lie with the equipment itself; it actually lies with equipment being handled or operated in an incorrect manner. And in the case of a handheld device, all it takes is an inadvertent drop for sensitive electronics to suffer dislocation or internal damage.

Corrosion issues

Water contamination is a persistent threat, especially in industrial or other high-humidity environments. If rust is able to gain a foothold in your equipment, that can serve to speed the oxidation of oils and other lubricants as well. If this is the case with your manufacturing equipment, then professional service and refurbishment can be your best solution.

Bearing failures

Most manufacturing equipment involves the moving and processing of items from point A to point B. If a bearing or bearings should fail, then so too can the equipment which relies upon those bearings. Premature bearing failure is often caused by the loss of bearing lubricant, or by the intrusion of contaminants. Mechanical defects like misaligned bearings can also lead to premature failures.

Metal fatigue

Another leading reason for industrial machinery failure is metal fatigue. Metal fatigue can occur after several cycles of stress. Metal is typically malleable and resilient, but after sufficient stress produced by temperature extremes or physical load demands, the metal in your equipment can become brittle and start to fracture or break. The best preventative measure is to keep your machinery and internal parts well-lubricated and well-maintained, but even if you do so your equipment may eventually require some refurbishing in any case.

Manufacturing Equipment Repair at AES

Has something gone wrong with your manufacturing equipment? If so, there’s no need to wait – you don’t want to risk having it completely fail whenever you’re in the middle of a production cycle! AES can provide greater peace of mind by taking care of your equipment needs more proactively:

Receipt, Evaluation, & Quote Generation

Once you send your manufacturing equipment to AES, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation of your items, and will then generate a quote describing what repair & refurbishment work your equipment needs. We’ll make a complete diagnosis of any underlying internal issues, and then we’ll communicate exactly what will be needed to restore your equipment to a like-new condition. It’s always our goal to get you a repair quote within 48 hours of item receipt.

Testing, Repairs, & Retesting

After you officially approve the repair order, we’ll get it right on our technician team’s schedule, and then we’ll get down to business! We’ll troubleshoot your manufacturing equipment – along with all internal components – including providing testing under full-load conditions. We’ll then be able to provide whatever repairs or refurbishment are needed. But that’s not all. We’ll then retest your equipment under realistic manufacturing conditions to make sure that everything is really ready-to-go!

Cleaning & Final Preparations

You might thing we’re finished at that point, but we’re not. At AES we recognize that sensitive manufacturing equipment will work better – and also last longer – whenever it’s properly cleaned and maintained. We’ll remove all oil, dust, contaminants, & residual moisture, and also make sure everything is properly lubricated.

Quality Assurance Measures & Return Shipping

Before we put our seal of approval on your manufacturing equipment, we’ll conduct a final round of quality assurance measures. Once those are completed to our standards, we’ll carefully prepare your equipment for return shipping, including using proper packaging to keep your items in good shape during their journey back to you.

AES provides a quick standard turnaround time of 8-10 business days for most repairs, but we can also put a RUSH of 1-3 business days on your order, should your desired turnaround time be particularly sensitive. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll work hard to make it happen for you!

QUALITY is Really One of Our Best Qualities

At AES, we understand that some others may see our approach to be “old-fashioned,” but that’s alright with us. Essentially, we’re not willing to cut corners whenever it comes to doing the job right for you. Nobody beats our quality of service, and we maintain the same high standards of quality for every repair, for every client, every single time.

A Team of True Professionals

We know we can take care of you the right way. How do we know? It’s because we’ve been doing this for nearly three decades at AES!

At the same time, we’re also intentional about providing regular training opportunities for our technician team, so that we can make sure to be in the best position to provide exactly what you need to take full advantage of your equipment.

An Effective AND Cost-Effective Solution

Why pay to replace an expensive piece of manufacturing equipment, when all that really may be required is some timely repair, service, and maintenance? AES can get your manufacturing equipment back up & running, plus we’ll restore it to like-new (or even better-than-new) condition! Whenever you choose to make AES your equipment repair partner, you’ll be saving money, you’ll get your equipment back faster, and you’ll also be kept from having to experience many unpleasant and unnecessary headaches.

The Best Repair Warranty Around!

And here’s one more thing to keep in mind about AES. Many other commercial repair providers will settle for offering you a 90-day workmanship warranty. In other words, they’re only willing to guarantee their work for a measly 3 months! At AES, we believe in going the extra mile for you. We stand behind the quality of our repair workmanship, and actually back it with a full 24-Month Limited Warranty. If a problem arises during the stated warranty period, which ends up being a workmanship issue, we’ll be happy to provide a follow-up service for you at NO additional cost! We’re serious about earning your trust.
