Way Cover Repair

[Dan Schnars]

I've got a set of y axis way covers off of one of our Doosan 6025's that apparently had a vise dropped thrown who knows onto them - operator has amnesia as to how they got dented that badly... at any rate, they bound up and came apart so I had to order a new set to keep the machine running.

 

Does anybody out there repair damaged way covers? I think these could be salvaged and kept for an emergency vs. just throwing them in the dumpster... We just don't have time to try to do it here...

 

Thanks!

We sent ours to:

A & A Mfg. Co.

2300 S Calhoun Rd.

New Berlin, WI

53151

262-786-1500

 

They repaired them for a fraction of new cost. We done the same as you....bought new ones, sent old ones out for repair, so when it happens AGAIN we can rotate guards.

Morning,

 

Sorry to the bad news. We had a cover go out on us when a part fell on it same thing here (i don't know it happen) we took it off and bended (hammered) it back in place but we did ordered a new one, but it did work until a new one came in now it's a back up now.

 

Just think everyone loves a hammer!

No help from me, but good to hear from you Dan. Hope all is well on your end. Are you still with JGR?

[Kevangel]

Might check online as I have read about companies that do this.

Murraymold - Thanks, I called them and got them all of the information they need... I'm still looking for a few other options just to shop around a littleif anybody else knows of anyone...

 

Rob K... Yes, I am still at JGR... I wish I had found this place 10 years ago it's an awesome place to work... And it's kind of fun trying to whip on the Fords too... How is everything with you?

Thank you, John... I just got off the phone with them as a matter of fact... They will come right here to assess / quote / repair... and they are only about 20 minutes away from us..

 

Thanks for all the help, guys...

We have some that need to be repaired also. I am going to try to find someone in PA that will come out and do it on site.

We just had the "Y" Axis covers replaced today on our Hardinge vertical mill. We bought them from Hardinge but had Action Machinery install them. Took about three hours. The machine was filthy under the old guards and the repairman did a thorough job at cleaning it out and doing a nice job.

Backed up worse then a bad sewer line, but it's better then not having any work.

I hear that, Rob... Good problem to have in this day and age... you going to be through this area heading to any races?

[robk]

We haven't been there since that last bad snow storm you guys had (maybe about 4-5 years ago). Off to bike week in a couple of months, but we're gonna skip Moorseville this year again.

Take them to your local Auto Body shop.

They have been mentioned already but A&A and Hennig are the ones we used to recommend when I was a service engineer at Mazak.

Action Machinery is fairly local to us Justin. I believe they are near Allentown.
