Repair, not replace

A new tie bar from the machine maker is expensive and the wait can be long. Most broken bars can be repaired.

We cut back the broken end, weld on new material and machine the end and thread to match the original. If the chrome is worn or damaged, we strip it, repair it and re-chrome it.

Less cost. Less downtime. Same bar back in your machine.

How it works

  1. 01

    Inspect

    We check the bar, measure it and look at why it broke.

  2. 02

    Cut back

    The damaged end is cut off back to sound material.

  3. 03

    Weld

    New material is welded on using our own tested procedure.

  4. 04

    Stress relieve

    The weld is heat treated so it stays sound in service.

  5. 05

    Machine

    The new end and thread are machined to match the original.

  6. 06

    Check

    Every size is checked against the original or your drawing before it goes back.
