Not just ballscrews!
Ballscrew Services were recently tasked with repairing two linear actuators by a UK food producer. The products were part of an automated food production line which after several years of continuous operation had ceased to work effectively thereby reducing production.
The actuators were now obsolete and an expensive and time consuming reengineered retrofit was considered by the customer. As an alternative the products were sent to Ballscrew Services to see if they could be refurbished cost effectively and in quick time. As spare parts were no longer available Ballscrew Services had to re-manufacture custom component parts in their machine shop before re-assembling with new ballscrews and bearings prior to testing the completed unit.
The finished product was in “as new” condition and the food production line was up and running at full production within a matter of days.
