Specialist on-site repair and service for XYZ XL and Oil Country lathes — heavy-duty large-capacity machines for the toughest work. XL 780 through to XL Oil Country covered. Headstock, gearbox, and bedway repairs, emergency breakdown response across the UK.
The XYZ XL and Oil Country lathes are built on solid ribbed cast beds with wide Vee ways for maximum stability and rigidity. The headstocks use the highest quality gears and bearings to drive powerful spindles capable of the heaviest cuts. The range runs from the XL 780 through XL 1100, XL 1200, XL 1500, to the massive XL Oil Country — designed for oilfield component machining with large through-bores and high torque.
Typical faults on these heavy machines include headstock gear wear from sustained heavy cutting, spindle bearing degradation, bedway scoring from inadequate lubrication, cross-slide nut wear causing positional drift, and inverter drive faults on the spindle motor. The sheer size of these machines means all repair work must be done on-site — moving a 12-tonne lathe for repair isn't practical.
I provide on-site repair and service for the full XL and Oil Country range. All diagnostics and mechanical work done at your facility. Headstock rebuilds, gearbox repairs, bedway inspection, spindle bearing replacement, and control system fault finding. Emergency breakdowns and scheduled PPM contracts available. No fix, no fee on applicable jobs.
