In-house machine shop handling shaft repairs, re-profiling, general turning and milling — with a collection and return service for urgent jobs.
Orbic operates a fully equipped in-house machine shop, handling shaft repairs, general turning and milling, and bespoke component manufacture. Shaft repair is often significantly faster and more cost-effective than replacement — particularly for large or custom shafts with long lead times.
We offer a collection and return service for customers unable to transport components themselves, and we prioritise urgent jobs to minimise your downtime.
In many cases, shaft repair is not just the cheaper option — it's the faster one. A replacement shaft may have a lead time of days or weeks; a repaired shaft can often be back on the machine within hours. Consider repair first.
Replacement shafts — especially large or non-standard specifications — can have significant lead times. Our machine shop can often turn a repair around the same day or next day.
Material and machining costs for a repair are typically a fraction of replacement cost — particularly for larger shafts, cast components or assemblies requiring significant dismantling.
If a replacement part is obsolete or unavailable, our machine shop can manufacture from a drawing, sample or measured component — removing dependence on original suppliers.
Describe your job and we'll advise on feasibility, turnaround and cost.
