Your machines are the backbone of your business, and your preventive maintenance plan should be built to protect them. We design preventive maintenance programs around your specific production needs — not a generic checklist — so you stay in control of productivity. Instead of hoping nothing goes wrong, you gain the confidence of knowing it (most likely) won’t.
From full in-depth inspections to quick OEM-aligned service visits, we keep your equipment cutting accurately, reliably and without surprise interruptions.
Ensure your CNC machines and automation equipment operate at peak performance with a preventive maintenance schedule tailored to your needs. The goal: More uptime. More productivity. Fewer headaches.
A preventive maintenance program is a strategic investment in your operation’s future. Instead of a reactive approach, where problems are fixed as they happen, you can protect your most valuable assets from the start.
By partnering with Hartwig for your preventive maintenance, you ensure your machines continue to produce at peak accuracy and efficiency, maximizing your output and profitability.
Preventive maintenance ensures all electrical and mechanical components of your machines are working properly. It can also catch minor issues in the performance of your machine tools before they become big problems. This allows you to order parts, schedule repairs, and plan for it all within your ERP system — without disrupting the flow of production.
Using ball bar testing, vibration analysis, thermal evaluation and infrared imaging, Hartwig technicians identify early warning signs that could impact accuracy or uptime. All inspections include documented readings on voltages, pressures and machine loads, giving you clear visibility into current performance and part quality as well as helping to reduce scrap.
Our comprehensive inspections include checking safety components, lubrication, air, hydraulic and coolant systems. We evaluate the condition of ballscrews, linear guides, spindles and sub-spindles while also cleaning radiators, heat sinks and fans to support proper thermal control. These inspections help reduce wear, prevent overheating and maintain stable machine operation.
Proper fluid and filter maintenance plays a major role in machine longevity and reliability. Our team replaces fluids and filters, including components that are commonly overlooked, to support cleaner coolant, fresh lubrication and healthier systems overall. We also perform fluid contamination analysis and provide clear reporting, enabling you to understand current conditions and any recommended next steps.
Just like a car, proper maintenance can extend the life of your machines by years or even decades. You’ll get the most out of your investment and a better resale value when replacement time finally arrives.
Manufacturers rely on Hartwig’s preventive maintenance program to protect uptime, maintain accuracy and extend the life of their CNC equipment while keeping production moving. They choose Hartwig for our:
