Rebuilding & Retrofitting
Resurfacing: There are no shortcuts to a proper "way" restoration. At Bikle Mfg we use the old fashioned approach that gives recognition to older machines for their rigidity and longevity. We plane for straightness, hand scrape for fit, and flake for oil retention. Hardened ways are precision ground. Original heights can be restored by using several accepted methods.
Rebuilding: After disassembly and cleaning are performed, parts are inspected for wear and defects. You, the customer, are invited to witness any problems discovered and discuss repair options. Often the parts needing replacement, whether OEM or when unavailable, can be made in house for a substantial cost savings and a quicker turn around. Hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication, and coolant systems can be restored or replaced.
PLC/CNC Controls: Providing and installing most brand-name PLC and CNC controls is not foreign ground to us. Our technicians have countless years of expertise in this area and are constantly striving to stay in step with the latest technology. In the CNC world we are all well aware: if the control is down, so is your production.
Rewiring & New Electronics: Plastics used in wire and electrical controls have a limited life when exposed to oils, heat, and coolants. We prefer to replace all wiring, terminal strips, relays, and operators switches. The latest specifications and codes are always followed. Electrical devices can be supplied to meet your standards.
