Quick answerLocalSpindle of Wisconsin repairs CNC machines on site in Menomonee Falls, including the industrial areas along Highway 41/45, Pilgrim Road and Main Street. We work on machining centers, lathes, grinders, controls, spindles and servo motors, press brakes, punches, robots and PLCs.

CNC repair in Menomonee Falls

Manufacturing along 41/45

Menomonee Falls grew into a manufacturing center along the Highway 41/45 corridor, with plants making industrial equipment, components and consumer products, plus the machine shops and fabricators that supply them. Automation is common here: robot cells, PLC-controlled lines and machine tending.

That means many of our calls in the Falls involve more than one machine: a robot waiting on a lathe, a line waiting on a PLC input, a press waiting on a feed. We look at the whole cell, find the signal that’s missing, and fix the device behind it.

Our Milwaukee team reaches the Falls quickly from the north side and Waukesha County, and covers Butler, Lannon and Sussex nearby.

Everything on the floor in Menomonee Falls

Press brake, shear and laser repair in Menomonee Falls

When the press brake won’t hold angle or the laser’s cut quality falls off, a Menomonee Falls fab shop’s whole schedule backs up. Our Milwaukee team repairs hydraulics, synchronization, crowning and back gauges on press brakes, and motion, height control, heads and chillers on lasers and plasma tables.

In Menomonee Falls, we see this most at stamping and fabrication: stamping presses and press brakes, with calls for clutch and brake, stopping time and angles. See press brake and shear repair and laser and plasma repair.

Robot cell and PLC repair for Menomonee Falls plants

Automation is everywhere on Menomonee Falls 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.

Assembly and automation in Menomonee Falls run robots, PLCs and conveyors, and the calls we get there are handshake faults, sensors and safety circuits. See robot and automation repair and PLC repair.

Vertical, horizontal and 5-axis repair in Menomonee Falls

From a single Haas VF in a two-man shop to a line of Makino and Okuma horizontals, our Milwaukee team works on the mills Menomonee Falls actually runs. Tool changer misfires, axis drift, way cover damage and lube alarms are the everyday calls, and most get fixed in one visit.

For Menomonee Falls’s precision machining, that’s machining centers, lathes and grinders. The usual calls: spindles, axis alarms and finish problems. See CNC mill repair.

CNC lathe and turning center repair in Menomonee Falls

For Menomonee Falls’s turning work, we repair turret index and clamp alarms, chuck and hydraulic pressure problems, tailstock faults, bar feeder interface issues and spindle drive alarms on Okuma, Mazak, Doosan Puma, Haas ST, Hardinge, Citizen and Star machines.

Shops off Highway 41/45 know the routine: call, tell us the machine and the alarm, and a tech heads over. See CNC lathe repair.

CNC control and drive repair in Menomonee Falls

Control trouble in Menomonee Falls usually starts small: a battery warning, an intermittent servo alarm, a screen that flickers. Our Milwaukee 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.

That goes for the big plants in Menomonee Falls and the two-machine shops in Lannon alike. See CNC control repair.

Plant line repair in Menomonee Falls: conveyors, motors and drives

Food, paper and packaging plants in Menomonee Falls need one team that can fix the line and the toolroom. Our Milwaukee team handles conveyors, drives, motors, hydraulics and pneumatics, along with the CNC machines that make the change parts.

We cover this work across Waukesha County, from shops along Highway 41/45 to Sussex and Brookfield. See conveyor and packaging repair and motor and VFD repair.

Spindle, servo and hydraulic rebuilds in Menomonee Falls

Menomonee Falls 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.

Shops in Lisbon and Butler call us for the same work. See spindle rebuilds and servo motor rebuilds.

Example call in Menomonee Falls

Robot cell stops waiting on a press

The call

A manufacturer in Menomonee Falls had a robot loading a stamping press that stopped every hour or so with a ‘press not at top’ message.

What we did

  1. Diagnose. The press’s top-stop position switch was worn and the press was stopping slightly past top.
  2. Fix. Replaced the switch, adjusted the cam and checked brake stopping time.
  3. Prove. The cell ran a full shift without a stop.

The result. Cell back to normal.
