Before: Before deciding whether to recondition or repair a defective chuck, companies can contact Royal Machine & Tool for suggestions. It may be recommended to have the chuck forwarded to the factory where they will provide a free evaluation and proposal.
After: After evaluating the defective original chuck, reconditioning was recommended to provide new chuck standards, one year full warranty (the same as a new chuck) and up to a 50% cost advantage over a brand new chuck.
Royal Machine & Tool Corp. has expanded its reconditioning and repairing services of chucks to include machine tool rebuilders. According to the company, chucks for National Acme, Goss & Deleeuw, Kaufman and New Britain machines can now be reconditioned for less than 50% of the cost of purchasing new chucks.
"Replacing existing worn or damaged chucks with new chucks is not always the best decision," said Guy Byrne, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Royal Machine & Tool Corp. "With the reconditioning of chucks costing less than 50% of the cost of buying a new chuck, customers can purchase two chucks, reconditioned like new, for the same price as a new replacement chuck and include a one year full warranty (the same as a new chuck).
In addition to savings of up to 50% or more in cost, Bernie McAloon, Sales Manager, noted four specific reasons for customers to consider reconditioning or repairing a chuck:
- Does the chuck visibly appear to be worn?
- Has an accident broken something in the chuck?
- Has the chuck begun to lose its gripping?
- Has the chuck begun to lose its accuracy?
"Initially, customers should contact Royal Machine to discuss their requirements," said McAloon. "Then, the chuck will be disassembled, cleaned and evaluated at no charge. Should they not be too badly worn or damaged, Royal Machine will recommend reconditioning or repairing and then provide a detailed cost estimate. Once the decision is made to go ahead, the chuck will be quickly reconditioned and tested, delivered with like-new tolerances and with a one year full warranty."
