Parlec Live Tool Repair

[/threecol_one] [threecol_two_last]

We offer Parlec live tool repair services for the Parlec T live tool models and other Parlec tools.  Our repairs will typically cost 1/2, or less than 1/2 the price of a new live tool.  Plus, we can upgrade the original non-sealed bearing design, to a sealed / shielded bearing design at all bearing locations.  We keep bearings in stock for these live tools to allow us to keep pace with our repair volume.  Lead-time can be as short as 2-3 days.

Inspection Results

  • The spindle journal diameters show no appreciable wear and are acceptable for proper bearing fits.
  • The bearing housing inner diameter meets design specifications and shows no appreciable wear. No modification is required.
  • The taper runout is acceptable. Our proposal provides no repair to the spindle taper.
  • The bearings show some wear on the inner and outer diameters.
  • The gears are in good shape and show little wear.
  • The unit will be assembled and tested.

  • Most live tools exceeding 0.001″ runout are due, or almost due, for a repair.  0.0008″ or less is the target runout for a live tool.
  • Live tools like to rest as long as they cycle at full speed or maximum load.  5 minutes is a typical maximum run time followed by a 5 minute rest.
  • 150 to 160F temperatures are common when running at full load.

Why should you have your multi-spindle boring head, high speed right angle head, or other aggregate head, repaired by Ekstrom-Carlson?

  1. Lead-time: 1-2 Week average for multi-spindle heads, including tear down, inspection, quotation, and repair.  3-5 days for right angle heads and live tooling repairs.
  2. Price: Much lower price than the OEM, or the OEM distributor.
  3. USA repair: We repair the unit in Rockford, Illinois.  It is not shipped overseas, as is often the case for various machines.
  4. Parts repair: Where possible, we will save money by repairing motor spindles and gear spindle shafts.  Some manufacturer’s representatives will always quote a brand new unit if the unit drive shaft is damaged, or if the bearings require replacement.  75% of the time, we can save the original unit at less than 50% the cost of new.
  5. Sealed bearings when available and possible conversion to ceramic bearings.
  6. Free inspections.
