CNC repair in Fond du Lac
Engines, castings and machining
Fond du Lac’s best-known industry builds marine engines, and the city’s machine shops, foundries and fabricators have grown up around precision machining of castings and components. Food production and equipment manufacturing add to the mix.
Precision machining of castings means machining centers running hard, with tight tolerances and lots of tool changes. Spindles, tool changers and axis accuracy are frequent calls here, along with the automation that loads and unloads parts.
Fond du Lac sits on I-41 and US 151, covered by our Green Bay team with Madison close by.

Everything on the floor in Fond du Lac
CNC mill and machining center repair in Fond du Lac
Mills are the busiest machines in most Fond du Lac 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.
For Fond du Lac’s component machining, that’s machining centers and horizontals. The usual calls: spindles, tool changers and accuracy. See CNC mill repair.
Robot cell and PLC repair for Fond du Lac plants
Our Green Bay team works on the automation around the machines too: Fanuc, Motoman and ABB robots, Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs, HMIs, light curtains and safety relays. Most Fond du Lac line stops come down to a sensor, a cable or a safety input, and we find it fast.
In Fond du Lac, we see this most at food plants: lines, drives and PLCs, with calls for stops and trips. See robot and automation repair and PLC repair.
Plant line repair in Fond du Lac: conveyors, motors and drives
Fond du Lac plants run conveyors, packaging and wrapping lines, gearmotors and VFDs that can’t stop for long. Our Green Bay team repairs drive trips, motor failures, washdown sensor problems, jams and line faults, and the PLCs that tie them together.
Shops in Brandon and Ripon call us for the same work. See conveyor and packaging repair and motor and VFD repair.
Fanuc, Siemens and Haas control repair in Fond du Lac
Control trouble in Fond du Lac usually starts small: a battery warning, an intermittent servo alarm, a screen that flickers. Our Green Bay 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.
Our Green Bay team handles it anywhere around Fond du Lac, including Rosendale and Waupun. See CNC control repair.
Turning center and Swiss-type repair in Fond du Lac
Turning centers, Swiss-types and VTLs all come through our Fond du Lac 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.
Shops off I-41 know the routine: call, tell us the machine and the alarm, and a tech heads over. See CNC lathe repair.
Press brake and fiber laser repair for Fond du Lac fabricators
Our Green Bay team handles the fab side of Fond du Lac 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.
That goes for the big plants in Fond du Lac and the two-machine shops in Ripon alike. See press brake and shear repair and laser and plasma repair.
Spindle, servo and hydraulic rebuilds in Fond du Lac
Some failures in Fond du Lac are a fix on the spot. Others mean the part is worn out: spindle bearings, servo motors, hydraulic pumps. Our Green Bay team diagnoses it on your machine, then quotes repair, rebuild and replace side by side before anything comes apart.
We cover this work across Fond du Lac County, from shops along I-41 to Waupun and Rosendale. See spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.
CNC maintenance plans in Fond du Lac
A maintenance plan gives Fond du Lac 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 Fond du Lac facility for multiple weeks while you hire, and help you find the right people.
Plans cover shops across Fond du Lac County, including Campbellsport and North Fond du Lac. See maintenance packages.

- Fix. Replaced the gripper parts and reset the arm’s positions.
- Prove. Ran hundreds of tool changes without a miss.
The result. No more dropped tools.
