CNC repair in Baraboo
Sauk County shops
Sauk County is known for tourism, but Baraboo, Reedsburg and the river towns have steady manufacturing: machine shops, metal fabricators, food producers and equipment makers. Many are small or mid-size and rely on a few key machines.
For those shops, a long drive for service used to be a fact of life. Our Madison team is close enough to make Sauk County a regular stop, and we can set up maintenance plans so visits happen before breakdowns.
Highway 12 runs straight up from Madison to Baraboo, with I-90/94 nearby.

Everything on the floor in Baraboo
Press brake, shear and laser repair in Baraboo
When the press brake won’t hold angle or the laser’s cut quality falls off, a Baraboo 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.
Fabricators in Baraboo run press brakes and saws, and the calls we get there are angles and cuts. See press brake and shear repair and laser and plasma repair.
CNC control and drive repair in Baraboo
Our Madison team repairs CNC controls, servo amplifiers, spindle drives and I/O on the machines Baraboo shops run, old and new. If a board or drive has to go out for repair, we tell you the fastest way to get the machine cutting again.
For Baraboo’s machine shops, that’s mills and lathes. The usual calls: alarms, spindles and turrets. See CNC control repair.
Plant line repair in Baraboo: conveyors, motors and drives
Motors, VFDs, conveyors and packaging equipment wear fast in Baraboo’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.
In Baraboo, we see this most at food producers: lines and drives, with calls for stops and trips. See conveyor and packaging repair and motor and VFD repair.
CNC mill and machining center repair in Baraboo
Baraboo shops run verticals, horizontals and 5-axis machines from Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Doosan, DMG Mori, Hurco and Makino. Our Madison team fixes axis and servo alarms, tool changer and pallet changer faults, way lube problems and machines that won’t hold size. We check the mechanics first, so you don’t pay for a drive or motor you didn’t need.
That goes for the big plants in Baraboo and the two-machine shops in Lake Delton alike. See CNC mill repair.
Turning center and Swiss-type repair in Baraboo
Lathes in Baraboo run long production jobs, and when a turret won’t index or the chuck pressure drops, the whole job stops. Our Madison team fixes turrets, chucks, tailstocks, live tooling, sub-spindles and bar feeders on site.
We cover this work across Sauk County, from shops along Highway 12 to Wisconsin Dells and Prairie du Sac. See CNC lathe repair.
Automation and line repair in Baraboo
Automation is everywhere on Baraboo 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.
Shops in Reedsburg and Portage call us for the same work. See robot and automation repair and PLC repair.
Spindle, servo and hydraulic rebuilds in Baraboo
Baraboo shops get spindle repair and rebuilds, servo motor repair and rebuilds, and hydraulic pump, valve and leak repair from the same team that fixes the rest of the floor.
Our Madison team handles it anywhere around Baraboo, including Sauk City and Lake Delton. See spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.
CNC maintenance plans in Baraboo

Example call in Baraboo
Small shop's only CNC lathe down
The call
A small machine shop near Baraboo had its only CNC lathe stop with a spindle drive alarm.
What we did
- Diagnose. The spindle encoder cable had chafed through where it passed a sheet metal edge.
- Fix. Replaced the cable and added a grommet and clamp.
- Prove. Spindle ran through the speed range and the shop finished its job.
The result. Back up the same day.
