CNC repair in Janesville
Rock County manufacturing
Janesville was a General Motors town for most of a century, and the skills that came with it stayed when the plant closed. Today the city’s industrial parks along I-39/90 hold a diverse mix: machine shops, fabricators, food and beverage producers, plastics and packaging plants.
Rock County shops often run a lot of hydraulics: press brakes, presses, molding machines and lathes. We see a lot of hydraulic calls here and handle them by measuring, not guessing.
Janesville is down I-39/90 from Madison, covered by our Madison team along with Beloit and the rest of Rock County.

Everything on the floor in Janesville
Press brake, shear and laser repair in Janesville
When the press brake won’t hold angle or the laser’s cut quality falls off, a Janesville fab shop’s whole schedule backs up. Our Madison team repairs hydraulics, synchronization, crowning and back gauges on press brakes, and motion, height control, heads and chillers on lasers and plasma tables.
In Janesville, we see this most at fabricators: press brakes, lasers and saws, with calls for hydraulics, chillers and guides. See press brake and shear repair and laser and plasma repair.
Robot cell and PLC repair for Janesville plants
Automation is everywhere on Janesville floors now: robots tending lathes and mills, welding cells, palletizers and PLC lines. We repair robots, teach pendants, grippers, PLCs, HMIs and safety systems, and leave notes your maintenance people can use.
Plastics and packaging in Janesville run molding machines and robots, and the calls we get there are heats, hydraulics and cells. See robot and automation repair and PLC repair.
Plant line repair in Janesville: conveyors, motors and drives
Motors, VFDs, conveyors and packaging equipment wear fast in Janesville’s washdown and dusty plant environments. We repair them on site, and we tell you which parts to keep on the shelf so the next stop is short.
For Janesville’s food and beverage, that’s lines, PLCs and drives. The usual calls: stops, sensors and trips. See conveyor and packaging repair and motor and VFD repair.
Injection molding, conveyor and packaging repair in Janesville
Beyond machine tools, Janesville plants run injection molding machines, conveyors, packaging lines, motors and VFDs. We repair molding machine hydraulics, heats and controls on Engel, Arburg, Milacron and Sumitomo Demag presses, and the conveyors, drives and motors that keep product moving.
We cover this work across Rock County, from shops along I-39/90 to Milton and Orfordville. See injection molding machine repair and hydraulic and pneumatic repair.
CNC control and drive repair in Janesville
Control trouble in Janesville 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.
Shops in Edgerton and Footville call us for the same work. See CNC control repair.
Vertical, horizontal and 5-axis repair in Janesville
Mills are the busiest machines in most Janesville 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.
Our Madison team handles it anywhere around Janesville, including Evansville and Clinton. See CNC mill repair.
CNC lathe and turning center repair in Janesville
A lathe that throws a turret alarm at 2 a.m. costs a Janesville 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.
Shops off I-39/90 know the routine: call, tell us the machine and the alarm, and a tech heads over. See CNC lathe repair.
Repair or rebuild in Janesville? Straight answers
Some failures in Janesville are a fix on the spot. Others mean the part is worn out: spindle bearings, servo motors, hydraulic pumps. Our Madison team diagnoses it on your machine, then quotes repair, rebuild and replace side by side before anything comes apart.
That goes for the big plants in Janesville and the two-machine shops in Footville alike. See spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.
Scheduled maintenance for Janesville shops
A maintenance plan gives Janesville shops the same checks on every visit, the numbers written down, and a heads-up on wear while it’s still cheap to fix. We plan visits around your production so machines are down as little as possible. Short on maintenance staff? We can deploy a tech to your Janesville facility for multiple weeks while you hire, and help you find the right people.
Plans cover shops across Rock County, including Clinton and Evansville. See maintenance packages.
New machines for Janesville shops, serviced locally
Janesville shops adding capacity can buy press brakes, shears, lasers, lathes and mills from us as an authorized HACO dealer. The team that sells it installs it and services it, and a repair package can come with it.
We deliver and install anywhere around Janesville, from Milton to Orfordville. See machine sales.

Example call in Janesville
Press brake ram drifting down
The call
A fabricator in Janesville noticed a press brake’s ram slowly drifting down when stopped at the top.
What we did
- Diagnose. A cylinder’s internal seals were bypassing and a holding valve was weak.
- Fix. Resealed the cylinder and replaced the holding valve, then changed oil and filter.
- Prove. Ram held position and bends were consistent.
The result. Safe and accurate again.
