Spare Parts and Critical
Component Supply

Off the shelf or custom, for equipment we built or equipment we did not. We source the part, manage the supply chain, and keep the components
that stop your line where they belong, which is on a shelf before you need them.

What is critical component supply?

It is us owning the parts problem instead of your team owning it. We specialize in sourcing off the shelf and customized parts that are essential to your operation, and by managing the supply chain elements we help maintain your stock levels, hold down lead times, and streamline your procurement processes.

The reason it matters is that extended downtime is usually not a hard repair. It is a part nobody could get. A component with a fourteen week lead time stops a line just as effectively as a failed robot, and it is the failure mode that planning actually prevents.

Need a part identified? Send us a photograph!

How We Handle Parts

Four things, and they compound.

Off the Shelf or Custom

Standard components sourced through vendors we already buy from, and custom or machine specific parts produced to print with machining handled in house. Obsolete components that are no longer available anywhere are normal work rather than an exception.

Stock Programs That Reduce Lead Times

The parts most likely to stop your line held in stock instead of ordered after they fail, either held by us for you or placed at your facility on consignment. Which parts belong there comes out of your equipment, your run hours, and what actually fails on that platform. The lead time still exists. It just stops happening during your downtime.

Supply Chain Management

We manage the vendors, the part numbers, the substitutions, and the lead times. When a component goes obsolete or a supplier changes it, that is our problem to solve before it becomes yours mid failure.

Streamlined Procurement

One request covers identification, sourcing, and custom work together. Your team places one order instead of holding five quotes for one machine, and the part arrives without anyone on your side becoming an expert in a component they will buy twice in a decade.

What if we do not know the part number?

That is most requests. Send a photograph of the component or its nameplate, the robot or machine make and model, and a description of where it sits in the cell. Our engineers work with this equipment daily, so identification is usually a short conversation rather than a research project on your end.

On systems we integrated, the build documentation and component lists are on file, which makes it faster still. On systems we did not, we have identified enough parts across enough platforms that an unfamiliar cabinet is not a dead end.

  • Robot spares, wear items, and consumables
  • Drives, motors, sensors, and safety components
  • Pneumatics, grippers, and end of arm tooling
  • Vision system components
  • Machined and fabricated parts specific to your cell
  • Obsolete components produced to print

Why source parts through us

We build automated systems, so we know which components fail, which substitutions actually work, and which cheap equivalent will cost you a shift in six months. A distributor sells you the part you asked for. We tell you when it is the wrong part.

For more than 40 years, manufacturers have trusted us to design, build, and program automated systems in house, with machining handled in house rather than sent out to a vendor we do not control. From complexity to confidence, we stay with you across the full life of the equipment.

How It Starts

Every engagement starts the same way, because a plan built without seeing the equipment is a guess.

Assessment

We evaluate equipment condition, operating environment, usage patterns, and service history, on your floor.

Plan
Our field service engineers build a plan around your production schedule rather than a generic interval, so the work happens when it costs you least.
Execute Scheduled
visits, documented findings, and coordination with your team, with the record staying with the equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What parts can you supply for automated systems?

Off the shelf components and custom parts. Robot spares and wear items, drives, motors, sensors, safety components, pneumatics, grippers and end of arm tooling, vision components, and machined and fabricated parts specific to your cell. If it is part of an automated system, it is in scope.

Do you supply parts for equipment you did not build?

Yes. Much of what we source is for cells integrated by someone else. Send the part number, a photograph, or the machine and component details and we will identify it and tell you what the options are.

What is a stock program?

An agreement where the parts most likely to stop your line are held in stock rather than ordered when they fail. That can be stock we hold for you or consignment stock placed at your facility, depending on how critical the component is and how fast you need it in hand. Which parts belong in it comes out of looking at your equipment and history, not a catalog.

Can you supply a custom part?

Yes. Custom and machine specific parts are produced to print, whether the print is ours or yours, and machining is handled in house rather than sent to an outside shop. Obsolete components that are no longer available anywhere are a normal request.

How does this reduce our procurement work?

One request instead of several. We identify the component, source it, manage the vendors and the part numbers, and track the lead times. Your team places one order rather than chasing quotes across multiple suppliers for one machine.

Can you help us decide which spares to hold?

Yes, and it is worth doing before you need it. We look at your equipment, run hours, criticality, and what actually fails on that platform, then recommend what should be on your shelf and what can be sourced when needed.

Do you supply parts for tube forming machines?

Tube end forming, end finishing, and cutoff machine parts are supplied by Wauseon TubeTech rather than through this page. The equipment and the parts are different enough that they are handled by different groups.

What do you need from us to quote a part?

The part number if you have it. If you do not, the machine or robot make and model, a photograph of the component or its nameplate, and a description of where it sits in the system. A photograph of the failed part is often the fastest identification there is.

Send Us the Part or the Problem

Send a part number, a photograph, or a description of what failed, and we will identify it, source it, and tell you the lead time. If you would rather not be in this position again, ask us about a stock program for the components most likely to stop you. No pressure and no obligation. It is how we get you from complexity to confidence.
