Maintenance packages
A full suite of maintenance packages
Pick the coverage that fits your shop, or combine them. Every package is built around your machines and your production schedule.
| Package | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Preventive maintenance plan | Scheduled PM visits, the same checks and measurements every time, control backups and a written report | Shops that want fewer surprise breakdowns |
| Critical machine coverage | More frequent visits and closer tracking on the machines that carry your work | Bottleneck machines and high-hour equipment |
| Whole-floor plant maintenance | Machine tools, press brakes, lasers, robots, PLCs, hydraulics, conveyors and plant equipment on one plan | Plants with a mixed floor and a small maintenance team |
| Multi-week on-site deployment | A LocalSpindle tech working at your facility for weeks at a time, keeping things running | Plants between maintenance hires or short-handed |
| Hiring help | We help you find and screen the right maintenance people | Shops building or rebuilding a maintenance team |
On-site techs and hiring help
Multi-week deployment at your facility
Lost your maintenance tech, or can’t find one? We can deploy a LocalSpindle tech to your facility for multiple weeks to help you keep things running while you attempt to hire. Your deployed tech works your floor every day: handles breakdowns, runs preventive maintenance, works through the backlog of small problems, and writes down what each machine needs so the person you hire starts with a clear picture.
Deployments are planned around your shifts and your machines, and you can extend them if the search takes longer than expected.
Need help hiring? We'll help you find the right people
Hiring a good maintenance tech in Wisconsin is hard. Contact us and we will help you find the right people. We know what a good CNC and industrial maintenance tech looks like because that’s who we are, so we can help you write the job, ask the right technical questions, and judge whether a candidate can really troubleshoot your machines.
How a preventive maintenance plan is set up
We walk your floor with you and list the machines, their hours, their history and how much it costs you when each one stops. From that we set a visit frequency per machine and a checklist that fits it: a horizontal machining center gets a different list than a band saw.
Visits are scheduled around your production. Some shops like a quiet Friday afternoon; others want Saturdays.
What a visit includes
Lubrication, filters and fluids; backlash and geometry checks where they matter; spindle runout and drawbar force; hydraulic pressures and oil condition; cabinet cooling; safety devices; and a control backup. Everything gets measured the same way each time and written into the report.
Seasonal checks for Wisconsin
Before winter we check heaters, oil grades and warm-up routines for cold buildings. Before summer we clean cabinet filters, check coolers and chillers, and look at coolant condition. Those two visits alone prevent a lot of calls.
Sample schedule
How visit frequency is usually set
| Machine | Typical frequency | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Main machining centers and lathes | Quarterly | They carry the work, and wear shows up fast at high hours |
| Press brakes, lasers and punches | Quarterly or twice a year | Hydraulics, chillers and safety devices need regular attention |
| Grinders, EDMs and saws | Twice a year | Wear parts and filtration on a steady schedule |
| Backup and low-hour machines | Once a year | Enough to keep them ready when you need them |
Coverage
Machines we put on plans
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled visits that measure the same things every time and catch wear before it turns into a breakdown.
CNC mill & machining center repair
Verticals, horizontals and 5-axis machines: axis alarms, tool changers, lube, ballscrews and crash checks.
CNC lathe & turning center repair
Turning centers and Swiss-types: turret index, chuck pressure, bar feeders, sub-spindles and live tools.
Press brake & shear repair
Hydraulic and electric brakes and shears: backgauges, crowning, synchronization, light curtains, blades.
Fiber laser & plasma cutter repair
Fiber and CO2 lasers and plasma tables: cut quality, motion, height control, chillers and gas.
Hydraulic & pneumatic repair
Pumps, valves, cylinders and air systems: leaks, pressure loss, heat and slow motion.
It depends on the number of machines and how often they’re visited. We’ll quote after a walk through your shop.
Yes. We can deploy a LocalSpindle tech to your facility for multiple weeks to keep things running while you hire, and extend it if the search takes longer.
Yes. Contact us and we will help you find the right people, from writing the job to checking a candidate’s troubleshooting skills.
Plan customers are already set up with us, and we know their machines, which makes their calls faster to handle. Ask us about priority for your plan.
Yes, and plant equipment like hydraulics and conveyors.
Yes, after every visit.
Repairs found during a visit are quoted separately so you stay in control of spending.
