When visiting our precision engineering department Matt was setting up our DMG-MORI CLX 450 to produce a replacement drive sprocket for our Food & Beverage customer.

Pictured on the tooling bench is the donor unit, you can see clear signs of damage with worn teeth. When this originally arrived our inhouse CAD team went through the process of redrawing the sprocket, then creating the CAM programme to manufacture it on the CLX 450.

It’s the time invested in the original order that makes manufacturing future replacements, like the one being produced here from LG2 Bronze a much simpler process. With set-up costs also covered in the original job, it’s far easier for our customer to order additional units and receive a faster turnaround dependant on production availability.

As a 24/7 business, it means we’re able to respond to customers needs when it matters. Helping reduce downtime and keep production lines running.

Whether it’s single unit or batch production our precision engineering team are ready to support you.

A great part of what we do is develop apprentice engineers and machinists of the future.

Getting a machine set up correctly is about more than knowing which controls to turn. It takes experience, attention to detail and, above all, an understanding of how to work safely.

Here, Joe, one of our Deputy Shift Leads, is mentoring Taylor, one of our apprentice engineers as they set up our Colchester vertical miller to sleeve the bearing house of an alternator.

It’s a great example of how practical knowledge is passed on at Fletcher Moorland. Joe is helping Taylor develop the skills and confidence, while understanding the importance of getting the job right from the outset.

Developing our people is just as important as the work we do for our customers. By sharing experience on the workshop floor, we’re investing in the next generation of engineers and helping to preserve the specialist skills that keep critical equipment running.

Engineering excellence isn't just about the equipment we repair. It's about the people behind the work.

Many servo motors we see for repair and refurbishment, especially from food & drink manufacturers do present themselves with seized bearings. This is often due to over-enthusiastic washdown procedures or areas of high condensation.

This Siemens servo motor Brian is working on is no exception. The shaft was difficult to turn by hand so we already knew what we'd find when stripping it.

Even though this servo motor presented itself with a mechanical issue, electrical and electronic skills along with the right test equipment is crucial for a successful repair.

Brian stripped the servo motor down, cleaned all internals, carried out a winding analysis test, measured the bearing fits which indicated on this occasion that the drive end bearing housing was over tolerance so was sleeved, balanced the rotor to an enhanced G1,0 balance grade.

All that work though would be useless unless you've got the equipment and skills needed to check the encoder and Siemens drive-cliq communication device. As fluid had entered the encoder, the encoder needed to be replaced too. Then electronic nameplate data needs programming into the new unit otherwise the Drive-cliq won't recognise it and the servo motor won't work. Fortunately for us, we've got this equipment.

Once Brian has finished off the repair, fitted new bearings, seals and encoder and downloaded the data to the encoder, he'll connect the motor to our Sinamics S120 test rig to perform a functional run test under loaded conditions. We'll video the final test and send via out SERVICEview test sharing platform for our customer to witness before the servo motor lands back with them.

Have you got a suspect servo motor that you want assessing?

Unplanned downtime can quickly affect throughput, operations and delivery schedules. It’s important to have a maintenance partner like Fletcher Moorland you can trust to get units back in service

Here’s Macie rebuilding a SEW Eurodrive motor gearbox for one of our distribution centre customers. At the time of photo she’s fitting a speedy sleeve to the drive-end journal.

There’s a lot more to a quality repair than what you see in the photo, all starting with a unit assessment.

Before dismantling, the unit's piggy-back inverter was connected up to the SEW dedicated software and tested, with the unit running correctly in both directions, encoder output was checked, the brake was checked against OEM make/brake timings. Finally the windings were tested (Insulation resistance IR, Resistance comparison, Hi-Potential to earth and finally surge testing)

The assessment then identified the work needed to bring the unit back to original condition:

▪️ Bearings and seals requiring replacement at both ends of the motor and throughout the gearbox.
▪️ A worn gearbox output shaft requiring replacement.
▪️ The drive end seal journal was worn and on this occasion an SKF speedy sleeve will be used to reclaim the sealing surface.
▪️ An M12 connector required for the encoder connection.
▪️ A new gearbox lid gasket required for reassembly.

The bearing housings were inspected and found to be in good condition, while the brake unit also appeared to be serviceable. The brake unit will be checked for holding torque and breakaway torque and checked against OEM specifications.

Why replace when you can repair?

A professional motor gearbox rebuild can help extend equipment life, reduce unnecessary replacement costs and get critical assets back into service.
If you manage maintenance, engineering or facilities at a distribution centre, warehouse or automated logistics operation, Fletcher Moorland can help keep your equipment running.

A recent visit to our Precision Engineering department and we found the team manufacturing a batch of cutters for a Food & Beverage customer.

The work is being split between our CLX450 and DMU 50 from , with the cutters themselves being produced from food-grade white acetal.

The CLX450 is well suited to the initial turning and straightforward machining operations, giving us an efficient way to produce the core geometry accurately and consistently. From there, the components move across to the 5-axis DMU 50, where the more complex features, profiles and angles can be machined in a single setup.

It’s a great example of how having different CNC capabilities in-house allows us to select the right machine for each stage of the job; improving accuracy, reducing setups and keeping production moving efficiently.

From one-off components and prototypes through to repeat production, our Precision Engineering team combines CNC machining, in-house CAD/CAM and practical engineering experience to manufacture the parts our customers need.

Here’s a snapshot from our Electro-Mech department, where Callum and Joe are working on vacuum equipment from two different Food & Beverage production sites.

On Callum’s bench is a TNA Solutions vacuum unit. At this stage, it’s just starting its assessment to establish why it isn’t operating. Once dismantled and inspected, we’ll report back with our findings and the options available to get it back into service.

Across the workshop, Joe is working on a Becker vacuum pump.

This one arrived with a seized motor, caused by a collapsed bearing. The pump itself had also suffered significant wear, including a noticeable step inside the bore and two damaged vanes. All of these issues will have contributed to the pump seizing.

Joe is now working on the vacuum pump rotor and shaft assembly, securely mounted in the vice while compressed air is used to cool the area during the repair.

101,066 jobs have passed through Fletcher Moorland workshops, since this unit was last with us.

Just look at it.

It’s been around the block a few times. The paint has taken a beating, the casing carries the marks of a working life, and it’s clearly spent far more time doing its job than sitting in a workshop.

That’s the bit we like.

Because when we repair rotating equipment, we’re not just looking to get it working again and get it out of the door.

We want to give it a working life.

And this one certainly seems to have had one.

There’s another number that makes this job even more interesting.
🗓 30+ years.

That’s how long we’ve been supporting this particular customer.

Different equipment. Different challenges. Different engineers. But the same relationship.

For us, that’s one of the best measures of providing a quality engineering service.
Not how quickly you can complete one job, but whether the customer trusts you enough to bring you the next one, and the one after that, and on and on.

101,066 jobs later, we’re still here, still supporting this customer. That’s what we aim for with every customer, a long healthy relationship.
