Logic of Remanufacturing

With an installed base in excess of 3,000 machine tools dating back to the 1920’s, there are many of our metal cutting machines which will provide additional years of productive service through remanufacturing and updating to current technological standards. By adapting new controls and technology, change-over can be simplified and productivity increased. This is why we have initiated a formal remanufacturing program for Goss & Deleeuw Machine Tools with Portland Machine Tool Services.

OEM Remanufacturing: Machine tools, through constant use, become less productive and efficient, logging increased downtime and additional maintenance costs. Goss’ industrial workhorses can be remanufactured to restore their original realignment specifications and updated with "state-of-the-art" electronic controls. The advantages of remanufacturing your existing machine tools, in addition to the economic factor of replacement, include:

  • Productivity Enhancements
  • Tooling Interchangeability
  • Operator Familiarity
  • Existing Maintenance & Service Knowledge
  • Elimination of Obsolete Parts & Electric’s

Remanufacturing VS. Rebuilding:  While conventional rebuilding may involve little more than cleaning, painting, and replacement of broken parts, remanufacturing starts with complete disassembly down to the bare machine castings. Every component is thoroughly inspected and compared with the current design, wherever possible, insuring availability of replacements in the future.

Through the years, specifications for replacement parts have become tighter. This is the reason that, I our remanufacturing process, approximately 85% of the moving parts are replaced. The replacement of the electrical controls, updating of the hydraulic system and the installation of automatic lubrication to the bed ways helps ensure new machine reliability and performance.

Consider the Options:  It is possible to trade in an existing, aging machine on a comparable remanufactured unit.  This, together with the enhancements, immediate availability of replacement parts, and the original manufacturing jigs and fixtures, means satisfaction that only the original machine tool manufacturer can guarantee.

Safety Requirements:  As part of our remanufacturing, we will automatically install present-day safety enhancements which we have offered to Goss’ users over the years, such as 2-hand cycle start, jaw opening restraints, emergency stops, 2-hand chucking control, elimination of foot pedal, etc.
