Equipment breakdown during the production process can lead to unfortunate consequences, starting from delays and ending with wasted materials. Ideally, you have a replacement part at hand. In the worst case, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) may have left the market.

At one time or another, every manufacturer will face production line problems. Most businesses work hard to set up a proper maintenance schedule, while others may overlook regular servicing. In both cases, problems can occur. The question is how quickly problems can be identified and solved when they happen.

Production line maintenance is one of the toughest tasks for a manufacturer. Usually it requires dealing with limited parts availability, and complex equipment comes at a high cost. Accordingly, most business owners prefer the parts to be replaced as rarely as possible!

Production line and conveyor systems are subject to several problems that can cause unexpected downtime, leading to loss of profit, market share and customer relationships. In many cases, their efficiency suffers as a result of a lack of proper preventative maintenance.

When it comes to bushes, also known as plain bearings, the variety is impressive. It’s hard to find an industry which doesn’t need a certain type of bearing for their equipment or production process.

When you need to get replacement parts for your equipment, you will have a choice between using a third party and going back to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

CNC engineering is an integral part of the majority of equipment manufacturing processes in numerous industries, including oil, gas, power, pharmaceutical, and healthcare manufacturing.

We are glad to announce the establishment of a new hand finishing department. At Woodley Engineering, we have always believed that only a blend of manual and machine-assisted production can enable us to achieve the results our customers expect.

Precision parts engineering allows convenient and high-quality replacement of production line parts at low volumes. With the right machines and approach, the new parts are manufactured flawlessly to suit the production line in the most precise manner.

Drawings supplied for the production of prototype parts or to receive a quote, will specify the overall tolerance required on the finished part and sometimes on specific dimensions. The tighter the tolerance, the more challenging it is to come up with the highest quality finished parts.
