At HAYLEY 247 DEXIS, we pride ourselves on delivering swift, high-quality engineering solutions for the most demanding industrial environments. One of our recent projects involved the complete refurbishment of a swing gearbox used in the steel manufacturing sector. A vital component in a high-load, high-reliability application where downtime is not an option.
The Challenge
Our client, a leading steel manufacturer, approached us with a severely damaged swing gearbox that had been removed from critical service. Upon arrival at our facility, the unit showed significant gear damage, with several internal components either heavily worn or completely missing. The situation required immediate attention to avoid extended downtime and operational disruptions.
Our Approach
Thanks to our 24/7 rapid response service, our experienced engineering team quickly sprang into action following a structured plan that included:
Comprehensive Strip-Down & Inspection
Every component was carefully disassembled and examined to assess damage levels, tolerances, and the root cause of failure.
Reverse Engineering of Critical Components
With original parts unavailable, our team reverse-engineered new hardened and ground gears from existing samples using advanced CAD and manufacturing technologies – ensuring exact fit, function, and durability.
Precision Machining & Reclamation
Worn parts were restored using precision machining techniques, extending the lifespan of components that could be salvaged without compromising performance or reliability.
Full Mechanical Testing & Rebuild
Following reassembly, the gearbox underwent rigorous mechanical testing to ensure performance met or exceeded OEM standards. Once validated, the unit was returned to the client ready for immediate reintegration into service.
The Result
This gearbox refurbishment is a clear example of our commitment to engineering excellence, rapid turnaround times, and tailored solutions for critical industrial assets. With extensive in-house capabilities and a team of skilled engineers, HAYLEY 247 DEXIS ensures your equipment gets back online – faster, stronger and more reliable.
