CNC repair in Sun Prairie
Growing east of Madison
Sun Prairie has grown fast, and its business parks have filled with manufacturers, machine shops, fabricators and food companies. Many are newer operations with modern machines, alongside established shops that moved out from Madison for space.
Growing shops add machines quickly, and that’s when maintenance gets behind. We help set up preventive maintenance so new machines start out right and older machines don’t get forgotten.
Sun Prairie is minutes from Madison on Highway 151, well inside our Madison team’s area.

Everything on the floor in Sun Prairie
Press brake, shear and laser repair in Sun Prairie
Our Madison team handles the fab side of Sun Prairie shops too: press brake hydraulics and back gauges, shear blades, fiber laser and plasma cut problems, punch press clutches and brakes, ironworkers, saws and plate rolls.
Fabricators in Sun Prairie run fiber lasers and press brakes, and the calls we get there are chillers, cut quality and angles. See press brake and shear repair and laser and plasma repair.
Packaging line and VFD repair for Sun Prairie plants
Sun Prairie plants run conveyors, packaging and wrapping lines, gearmotors and VFDs that can’t stop for long. Our Madison team repairs drive trips, motor failures, washdown sensor problems, jams and line faults, and the PLCs that tie them together.
For Sun Prairie’s food companies, that’s conveyors and packaging. The usual calls: line stops and drives. See conveyor and packaging repair and motor and VFD repair.
Control alarm repair for Sun Prairie machines
Control trouble in Sun Prairie usually starts small: a battery warning, an intermittent servo alarm, a screen that flickers. Our Madison team traces it to the cause, whether that’s a cable, a power supply, a drive or a board, and backs up programs and parameters first.
In Sun Prairie, we see this most at machine shops: machining centers and lathes, with calls for alarms, spindles and tool changers. See CNC control repair.
CNC mill and machining center repair in Sun Prairie
Mills are the busiest machines in most Sun Prairie shops, so they fail first. We repair tool changers and carousels, ball screws and axis drives, pallet changers, rotary tables, probing and coolant-through systems, and we leave a written note on what we found.
Shops off Highway 151 know the routine: call, tell us the machine and the alarm, and a tech heads over. See CNC mill repair.
Turning center and Swiss-type repair in Sun Prairie
A lathe that throws a turret alarm at 2 a.m. costs a Sun Prairie shop a whole shift. Our Madison team repairs turret indexing, chuck cylinders, hydraulic units, bar feeders and live tool drives, and checks alignment before we leave.
That goes for the big plants in Sun Prairie and the two-machine shops in Deerfield alike. See CNC lathe repair.
Automation and line repair in Sun Prairie
Sun Prairie 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.
We cover this work across Dane County, from shops along Highway 151 to Cottage Grove and Windsor. See robot and automation repair and PLC repair.
Spindle, servo and hydraulic rebuilds in Sun Prairie
Heavy cutting and long shifts wear out spindles, servo motors and hydraulic units. We test them on the machine, repair what can be repaired in place, and rebuild spindles and servo motors with new bearings and seals when they’re done.
Shops in DeForest and Waunakee call us for the same work. See spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.
CNC maintenance plans in Sun Prairie
Our Madison team runs maintenance plans for mills, lathes, press brakes, lasers, robots and plant equipment in Sun Prairie. Each visit covers lube, filters, hydraulics, batteries and backups, accuracy checks and a written report. Our maintenance packages go further too: multi-week on-site tech deployment while you hire, and help finding the right maintenance people.
Plans cover shops across Dane County, including Marshall and Deerfield. See maintenance packages.

Example call in Sun Prairie
New fiber laser alarms in the first summer
The call
A fabricator in Sun Prairie installed a fiber laser in spring. By July, it was throwing chiller alarms in the afternoon.
What we did
- Diagnose. The chiller sat in a corner with little airflow and its condenser was already dusty.
- Fix. Cleaned the condenser, moved the chiller for airflow and set a cleaning schedule.
- Prove. Ran through a hot afternoon without an alarm.
The result. Laser ran clean all summer.
