Restoring CNC Precision Through Advanced Machine Restoration

 A relatively new CNC machine, only four years in operation, experienced significant loss of geometry due to improper lubrication. As a result, machining accuracy deteriorated and overall machine performance declined sharply. The OEM inspected the machine and recommended a complete reconditioning. However, the proposed cost was extremely high, and a review of the machine’s mechanical condition revealed that several critical components were already in poor shape. 

 Vector Machine Tools India Pvt. Ltd. was approached to evaluate alternative, cost effective options. After a detailed assessment, our team took up the machine for a full rebuild and precision restoration. The machine was completely stripped, inspected, repaired, and reassembled with the necessary mechanical, lubrication, and geometric corrections. 

 Through our comprehensive reconditioning process, the CNC machine was restored to a near new performance level at a substantially lower cost compared to the OEM’s reconditioning proposal. The client not only saved significantly on capital expenditure but also regained reliable, high accuracy machining capability without the need to purchase a new machine. 

•  Machine geometry fully restored
• Performance and accuracy brought close to OEM standards
• Significant cost savings compared to OEM reconditioning
• Extended machine life and improved reliability 

 Vector Machine Tools India Pvt. Ltd. continues to support customers with high quality, economical reconditioning solutions that give machines a second life without compromising precision. 

 A Tool and Cutter Grinding machine had remained non-operational for more than two years. Severe inaccuracies had accumulated over time, making the machine unusable for precision work. Despite multiple attempts by various service providers, the client was unable to restore the machine to acceptable performance levels.

After exhausting all possible repair options and losing confidence in the machine’s future, the customer began the process of procuring a new machine. As a final attempt before scrapping the unit, they approached our team to evaluate whether the machine could be revived or should be permanently retired.

 Vector Machine Tools India Pvt. Ltd. conducted a detailed diagnostic study of the machine. Given its condition, we recommended a complete rebuild.

Our team carried out a total overhaul, including:

• Full dismantling and inspection
• Restoration of worn mechanical assemblies
• Precision regrinding and realignment
• Upgrading critical elements to restore accuracy
• Rebuilding and calibrating the machine to exacting standards

Throughout the process, the goal was to achieve performance comparable to a factory-fresh machine.

 The rebuild exceeded client expectations. The machine was successfully brought back to life, achieving performance levels equivalent to a new Tool and Cutter Grinder straight from the factory floor. The customer not only avoided the high cost of new machine procurement but also regained a high-precision, reliable asset that was previously considered unsalvageable. 

• Machine restored after two years of non-operation
• Full rebuild completed with factory-grade accuracy
• Eliminated need for new machine investment
• Client recovered productivity and precision capability 

Vector Machine Tools India Pvt. Ltd. continues to help customers restore critical equipment through expert engineering, technical depth, and commitment to quality.
