Router Repair

How do you eliminate vibration during assembly?

 

Each shaft is balanced several times during assembly using a Schenk computerized hard-roller balancer to eliminate vibration. We maintain a stock of inner and outer rings, nuts, caps and labyrinths for quick repairs.

 

How does your pricing compare to others?

 

At OBro Inc., we provide fast rebuild times at very competitive pricing. We work closely with experienced local small businesses for quality chroming, stator rewinds and motor lead repairs while our in-house staff handles analysis, balancing, assembly and testing.

 

Can you just replace the bearings of my router system?

 

Simply replacing bearings in the field is inadequate for resolving noise or vibration issues caused by worn bearing housings, worn shaft journals, unbalanced shafts or improperly preloaded bearings. To get your spindle running like new, call the professionals at OBro Inc.

 

How do you know which parts need replacing on my Shoda Router?

 

With over 30 years of combined experience, our servicemen can help you determine which parts are failing, and provide you with practical solutions: from purchasing new parts to finding adequate and refurbished parts. We have completed  replacements of Fanuc integrated PCs, such as the 210i control running Windows 95, with new Fanuc 21 controls running front end PCs with Windows XP. The XP upgrade allows a company's IT guys to better integrate and secure the router on the network.

 

Should I purchase a router from an auction or should I buy new?

 

Nearly all used machinery purchased at an auction, including routers, is sold with an "as-is" warranty. Essentially, you are purchasing the last owner's problems. After paying the machinery dealers the full payment price up front, you can face thousands in additional costs when the machine hits your plant floor. SFailing spindles, worn ball screws and broken parts can all be costly repairs.

 

OBro's reconditioned Shoda routers eliminate potential repair costs. We strip the router to the bone and rebuild it system by system, cleaning, repairing, or replacing the necessary components during the rebuild.
