Midwest Brake®
has highly skilled Field Service Technicians who are experts in
inspection, maintenance, repair and installation of mechanical presses.
Years of field experience allow us to inspect, trouble shoot and
supervise repairs for all styles of mechanical presses.
Press inspections
are designed to evaluate the current status of your press. Vital
information regarding the condition of your press will be supplied
to accurately predict wear and premature failure of various systems
and components. Combined with a preventive maintenance program,
inspection of your press will help eliminate downtime of your equipment
and track the progression of wear.
Working with
our highly qualified Field Service Technicians, your maintenance
personnel will gain knowledge and experience of the equipment, inspection
techniques and proper maintenance of the press.
