CNC repair in West Bend
Washington County's manufacturing town
West Bend made its name on aluminum cookware and small appliances, and that manufacturing know-how still shows. Today the city’s industrial parks hold machine shops, plastics molders, metal fabricators and equipment builders, many of them family-owned and running a mix of older and newer machines.
Family shops tend to keep machines a long time and take care of them. We help with that: maintenance plans for key machines, rebuilds when spindles and servo motors wear out, and honest advice when a machine has reached the end.
West Bend is straight up Highway 45 from Germantown, well within our Milwaukee team’s area.

Everything on the floor in West Bend
Injection molding, conveyor and packaging repair in West Bend
Our Milwaukee team covers the plant equipment West Bend runs: injection molding presses, conveyors and sorters, packaging and wrapping lines, hydraulic units, pneumatics, motors and drives. One call covers the whole floor.
In West Bend, we see this most at plastics molders: injection molding machines, with calls for hydraulics, heats and clamps. See injection molding machine repair and hydraulic and pneumatic repair.
Fabrication equipment repair in West Bend
West Bend fabricators count on press brakes, shears, fiber lasers, plasma tables, punch presses, plate rolls and ironworkers. We fix bend angles that won’t hold, back gauge errors, hydraulic leaks, blade gap and cut quality problems and chiller faults on Amada, Trumpf, Cincinnati, Bystronic, Accurpress, Hypertherm and HACO equipment.
Fabricators in West Bend run press brakes, saws and lasers, and the calls we get there are angles, guides and chillers. See press brake and shear repair and laser and plasma repair.
Vertical, horizontal and 5-axis repair in West Bend
When a machining center in West Bend stops mid-cycle, it’s usually the tool changer, an axis alarm, a lube fault or a sensor, not the expensive part. Our Milwaukee team traces it on the machine, fixes it on site when it can, and quotes the rest before anything gets ordered.
For West Bend’s machine shops, that’s machining centers and lathes. The usual calls: spindles, turrets and axis alarms. See CNC mill repair.
CNC lathe and turning center repair in West Bend
Turning centers, Swiss-types and VTLs all come through our West Bend work orders. We check turret alignment, hydraulic pressure and spindle runout along with the alarm, so the lathe holds size when it goes back into production.
That goes for the big plants in West Bend and the two-machine shops in Jackson alike. See CNC lathe repair.
CNC control and drive repair in West Bend
An alarm you can’t clear stops a West Bend machine cold. We work on Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, Mitsubishi, Mazatrol, Okuma OSP and Haas controls, and we check cabinet cooling and filters while we’re there, because heat causes a lot of the next alarm.
We cover this work across Washington County, from shops along Highway 45 to Kewaskum and Newburg. See CNC control repair.
Automation and line repair in West Bend
West Bend plants run robots, PLC-controlled lines and machine-tending cells. We troubleshoot Fanuc, Yaskawa Motoman, ABB and Kuka robots, Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, safety circuits, and the sensors and drives that stop a line.
Shops in Slinger and Allenton call us for the same work. See robot and automation repair and PLC repair.
Conveyor, packaging and drive repair in West Bend
When a packaging line stops in West Bend, product backs up fast. We repair conveyors, case packers, wrappers, gearmotors, VFDs and hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and check the sensors and safety circuits that cause most line stops.
Our Milwaukee team handles it anywhere around West Bend, including Barton and Jackson. See conveyor and packaging repair and motor and VFD repair.

Example call in West Bend
Molding press running hot every afternoon
The call
A plastics molder in West Bend had a press whose hydraulic oil reached alarm temperature every afternoon.
What we did
- Diagnose. The oil cooler was fouled and the cooling water valve was sticking partly closed.
- Fix. Cleaned the cooler, replaced the water valve and changed the oil filter.
- Prove. Oil held normal temperature through a full shift.
The result. No more afternoon alarms.
