01 · Breakdown & Emergency Repair

When your machine stops, I'm on it.

A CNC machine breakdown doesn't respect working hours. I provide fast-response callout for emergency faults — electrical, mechanical or control system — with the goal of getting you back in production as quickly as possible.

What's included
Fast response times for breakdown calls — contact me to discuss availability
Full fault diagnosis before any work commences
No Fix, No Fee — you only pay when it's running
Common spare parts available for immediate repair
Full written service report provided after every visit
control system diagnostics

03 · Planned Preventative Maintenance

Stop breakdowns before they start.

Unplanned downtime is significantly more costly than a well-managed maintenance schedule. Fixed-price PPM contracts give you regular, documented servicing visits — keeping your machines in peak condition and catching issues before they become expensive failures.

Capabilities
Scheduled electrical condition checks (supply, contactors, drives)
Full lubrication service — ways, ballscrews, spindle bearings
Coolant system service and filter changes
Mechanical inspection — headstock, turret, axes, guards
Full written service report and recommendations after every visit

04 · Mechanical Repairs

Diagnosis, removal, logistics, and refit — on your site.

Mechanical faults — worn ballscrews, failed spindle bearings, seized axes — are some of the most damaging CNC issues if left unaddressed. I handle diagnosis, removal, and refitting of mechanical components, working with trusted third-party specialists for the actual repair or manufacturing work.

Capabilities
Spindle diagnosis, removal, and refitting — specialist repair and balancing arranged via third-party
Ballscrew removal and refitting — specialist repair arranged via third-party
Servo and spindle motor diagnosis, removal, and refitting — specialist repair arranged via third-party
Turret alignment and indexing fault diagnosis
Machine levelling and geometric alignment checks

05 · Electrical Fault Finding

Trace electrical faults to the source.

Expert electrical fault finding, tracing your electrical issues to the source of failure — whether in the cabinet, cabling, drives, or interfaces to the control. Clear explanation before any repair work proceeds.

Capabilities
Systematic tracing through machine tool electrical systems
Drive, contactor, relay and PSU investigation
Intermittent faults and earth / insulation issues
Coordination with mechanical and control symptoms
Documented findings and agreed next steps

06 · Spare Parts Supply

The right part, fast — so you don't have to wait.

I don't hold large spare part stock — the range is too vast. In most cases I order the parts you need on-site, keeping your machine downtime to a minimum. I have established supplier relationships for fast sourcing, and delivery is typically within 3–5 days for most components.

Capabilities
Servo amplifiers, drives and motors — Fanuc, Siemens, Mitsubishi
CNC control boards, operator panels and I/O units
Encoders, scales and feedback devices — Heidenhain, Renishaw
Contactors, relays, PSUs and control cabinet components
