Anyone who works in manufacturing knows unexpected machine repairs can lead to production loss and downtime. They can even result in injuries. Better to prevent issues altogether. Read on to find out how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Downtime is Deadly. Machine Repairs are Key.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this competitive global economy, a reliable and efficient operation is key to reducing costs and staying on top. But if regular maintenance is ignored for too long, industrial machines will choose their own time to break down, often with catastrophic consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t have to be that way. Regular machine repairs keep industrial-grade machinery humming and keep production on schedule. Downtime decreases, safety issues decrease, and overall product quality goes up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some common machine failure points and the repairs that will keep your facility in tip-top shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motors <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Motors (like GE’s VersaMotion series<\/a>) are the heart of many machines. The devices take incoming electrical energy and turn it into linear or rotational motion. While these components last a long time by design, certain conditions reduce their lifespan. These include<\/p>\n\n\n\n
