Our Services
From complete CNC machine rebuilds to precision in-house machining — Schienke offers the full spectrum of machine tool services backed by 40 years of hands-on expertise.
CNC Rebuilding & Retrofitting
Schienke specializes in bringing aging CNC machine tools back to factory specification — or better. We perform complete mechanical rebuilds, restoring way geometry, spindle integrity, and axis accuracy. Our control retrofits replace obsolete systems with modern, supported control platforms, giving your machine a new service life without the cost of replacement.
Whether it's a single-axis ballscrew replacement or a full ground-up rebuild, our team documents every step and verifies results to original tolerances.
- Fanuc, Siemens & Mitsubishi control upgrades
- Ballscrew & way system replacement
- Full geometry correction & alignment
- Spindle rebuild & bearing replacement
- Verification to original OEM tolerances
CNC Repair & Service
When a machine goes down, every hour costs money. Schienke provides fast, experienced CNC repair service designed to minimize your downtime. We diagnose and resolve electrical, mechanical, and control system faults across a wide range of machine tool brands and configurations.
From scheduled preventive maintenance contracts to emergency on-site calls, our team brings the tools and knowledge to get you back in production quickly and reliably.
- Electrical fault diagnosis & repair
- Servo drive & motor repair
- On-site service calls available
- Preventive maintenance programs
- Multi-brand CNC expertise
Parts & Components
Finding the right parts for aging or legacy CNC equipment is often the biggest challenge in keeping machines running. Schienke sources OEM and high-quality aftermarket replacement parts, and where no off-the-shelf option exists, we manufacture components in-house.
Our parts capability directly supports our rebuild and repair work — the same precision standards that go into a full rebuild go into every component we supply.
- OEM and quality aftermarket parts
- In-house fabricated custom components
- Hard-to-find & obsolete part sourcing
- Fast turnaround on in-stock items
- Schienke-manufactured precision parts
In-House CNC Machining
Schienke operates large 5-axis CNC machining centers in-house — the same equipment we use to fabricate precision components for our own rebuild and retrofit projects. This gives us a perspective most service companies don't have: we understand CNC machines as machinists, not just as technicians.
Our machining capability is also available for contract work. Whether you need a prototype, a first-article component, or a limited production run of precision machined parts, our team brings the same exacting standards to the machine as we do to every rebuild job.
- Large 5-axis CNC machining capability
- Complex geometry and compound-angle features
- Contract and limited-run production machining
- Prototype and first-article work
- Aerospace & automotive precision tolerances
Laser Machine Calibration
Dimensional accuracy doesn't start on the part — it starts with the machine. Schienke performs laser-based geometric calibration to verify and restore the full spatial accuracy of CNC machine tools, catching error sources that standard checks miss and compensating them before they reach your work.
We measure every critical axis relationship and deliver a full calibration report documenting baseline deviations, corrections applied, and final verified performance — giving you traceability and confidence in your machine's output.
- Squareness & perpendicularity between axes
- Linear positioning accuracy & repeatability
- Parallelism & straightness of axis travel
- Pitch, roll & yaw angular error measurement
- Flatness & surface plane verification
- Full calibration report & documentation
Additive Manufacturing & Rapid Prototyping
Before we cut metal, we print. Schienke uses in-house 3D printing to prototype components, validate form and fit, and produce the custom fixtures and jigs that support our rebuild and machining work — including development parts for our own 2-axis live milling head. It's the fastest way to prove out a design before committing to machine time.
Additive also solves a problem every legacy machine owner knows: covers, guards, and cable-management parts the OEM stopped making decades ago. If it can't be bought, we can often print it — or print the prototype that becomes the machined part.
- Form, fit & function prototypes before machining
- Custom fixtures, jigs & workholding aids
- Replacement covers & guards for obsolete machines
- Design iteration measured in hours, not weeks
Why Rebuild Instead of Replace?
A well-executed rebuild gets you back to full-spec performance at a fraction of the cost and lead time of a new machine.
50–66% of the Cost
A complete rebuild typically runs half to two-thirds the price of a comparable new machine — with the same restored accuracy.
Weeks, Not Months
New machine lead times can stretch past a year. A rebuild returns your existing equipment to production far sooner.
Keep What Already Works
Your fixturing, tooling, floor layout, and operator familiarity stay intact — no re-qualification of a brand-new platform.
How We Work
Every job — from a quick repair to a full rebuild — follows the same disciplined process.
Initial Assessment
We evaluate the machine thoroughly — electrical, mechanical, and control systems — to scope the work accurately.
Quote & Scope
A detailed written quote with timeline and deliverables. No surprises — we communicate clearly before work begins.
Precision Rebuild / Repair
Our technicians execute the work to exacting standards, documenting findings and measurements throughout.
Testing & Delivery
We verify performance against spec, provide documentation, and deliver the machine ready to return to production.
