Preventive Maintenance

When deciding to implement a Preventative Maintenance program, it is important to know that almost any Preventative Maintenance program can take on many different forms and functions. That is why we work with you to define the scope of your Preventative Maintenance program and tailoring it to your specific needs.

A Preventative Maintenance program plays an important role in assisting your manufacturing personnel with minimizing unexpected machine downtime. This allows your production managers to make informed decisions associated with production schedules as a result of planned maintenance service and ultimately expected machine uptime.

We strive to insure that our customer’s fully understand the value they receive when contracting our Preventative Maintenance services. After the initial Preventative Maintenance service has been performed we review the results with your personnel to see what, if any changes are necessary to keep your machine tool running in an acceptable capacity. At the time of service, we document your machine details for future reference, as well as create a detailed Preventative Maintenance procedure for your specific machine. This data is provided to you in hard copy and electronic format as well as our records for any future verification needs.

Most companies do not see a need to have a Preventative Maintenance program implemented on older equipment with the reasoning that the damage is already done. In some ways this is true, but a large portion of our service calls on older machines without a Preventative Maintenance program, are directly related to lubrication, drive belt or electrical (loose connection) failures. All of which would have been be addressed on even the most basic of Preventative Maintenance programs.
