Spare partsfor old machine tools, earthmoving and construction machines

aprile 20, 2021
The world of spare gears for old machine tools, earthmoving and construction machines is an increasingly recurring and important issue for all those who work in the field of mechanics. Buying a machine tool or one for earthmoving or construction is always a big investment, often the result of long reflections and evaluations, which also take into consideration the longevity of the product and the possibility of finding spare parts. Surely no one knows the machine better than its manufacturer, but if at a certain point it no longer exists or it no longer builds spare parts for the purchased product, what are the options that can be put in place?

Control and maintenance
Before answering this question it is interesting to think about how to prevent the breakage of a piece, so as not to compromise the machine in its functions. The first is certainly that of checking the machine and its components, the consequence in the case of breakages or malfunctions is maintenance. Surely you all have a very specific idea of ​​maintenance, but how do you manage it? Starting from the assumption that there are two types: the planned one and the extraordinary one, in reality we can speak of different management methods. If a scheduled maintenance is not foreseen, surely sooner or later there will be an extraordinary one, which could have significantly higher and unforeseen costs. For example, we were recently contacted by a company that urgently asked for an offer because its machine was blocked and could not continue production. Of course, an unexpected breakdown can also happen to the most virtuous, but requests of this type accentuate the importance of scheduled maintenance. Now let's analyze specifically the situation of earthmoving and construction machinery, for these maintenance is even more important than for machine tools before the problems become major. Above all, what is essential is the use of good quality spare parts, saving in this case only leads to a decrease in the life span of the entire machine.

Maintenance for old machines: the advantages


Often the costs to completely recondition a machine are very discouraging, all the more reason for this it is essential to do a scheduled maintenance to reduce costs and large damages. Think about when you want to change your machine, for many different reasons, if this was still working, you can easily resell it and earn money. In addition to the economic benefits of scheduled maintenance, there are also environmental ones. Surely, by checking the machine it is possible to detect its wear before it is too late and must be disposed of and then repurchased. Unsustainable principle with a high release of emissions into the atmosphere.

Spare parts: a very profitable market

Of course, scheduled maintenance is not always easy, but it is necessary to have a well-functioning and highly productive workshop. Here at this point it is possible to return to the initial question "if at a certain point the manufacturer no longer exists or no longer builds spare parts for the purchased product, what can be done?" Often if you have machines that are 40-50 years old, manufacturers no longer exist, much less spare parts. So you need to be able to count on a partner who produces tailor-made components.

As you well know, GSI produces tailor-made gears for spare parts, starting from a drawing or the broken part, if you need the evaluation of the feasibility of your project, contact us.
