Machine Breakdown Repairs

Practical fault finding and repair support when an industrial machine stops, jams or no longer operates as expected.

Breakdown repair support focused on the fault

An unexpected machine stoppage can interrupt production and place pressure on the rest of an operation. Werk Maak Sterk assesses the symptoms, the machine condition and the systems involved before recommending a practical repair scope.

Mechanical and hydraulic faults can be assessed on site where practical. The next step depends on access, safety, component condition and the work required.

Common machine faults we can assess

Machine will not start

A non-operational machine may require systematic mechanical or hydraulic checks.

Unexpected stoppage

A sudden interruption can point to a failed, loose or jammed component.

Unusual noise or vibration

Changes in sound or movement can indicate developing wear or misalignment.

Mechanical jamming

Restricted or seized movement requires careful inspection before operation resumes.

Hydraulic-pressure loss

Weak, slow or absent movement may be linked to pressure loss or component condition.

Leaks or failed components

Visible leakage and damaged parts should be assessed before further use.

A practical, methodical service

Initial assessment

Review of the machine type, symptoms, location and available photographs.

Fault finding

Methodical mechanical and hydraulic checks relevant to the reported problem.

Repair recommendation

A clear proposed scope based on the fault and the machine’s condition.

Industrial shear ready for breakdown inspection and repair

Approved repair work

Suitable repair or component work proceeds only after the scope is approved.

Adjustment and testing

Relevant functions are checked after the approved repair is completed.

Handover observations

The findings and any further maintenance needs are communicated.

Machinery and systems we can assess

The exact scope always depends on the machine, safe access, component condition and the reported requirement.

  • Eccentric presses
  • Bending brakes and guillotines
  • Lathes and milling machines
  • Hydraulic machinery and components
  • Industrial production equipment
  • Mechanical drive and moving components

From initial details to handover

Send the details

Share the machine type, symptoms, location and photographs where available.

Initial assessment

We review the information and discuss practical access to the equipment.

Fault finding

The mechanical or hydraulic cause is investigated methodically.

Recommended scope

The required repair work and available options are explained.

Approved repair

Work proceeds after approval and subject to component condition.

Test and handover

Relevant operation is tested and observations are communicated.

Why prompt fault finding matters

Limit further damage

Stopping and assessing an abnormal machine can reduce the risk of a smaller fault affecting other components.

Define the repair clearly

A methodical assessment helps separate the visible symptom from the underlying cause.

Plan the next step

Clear findings support a practical decision on repair, maintenance or reconditioning.

Questions about Breakdown Repairs

These answers provide general guidance. The correct scope is confirmed after the machine or component requirement has been assessed.

Send the machine make or type, a description of what happened, the current symptoms, your location and clear photographs or video where available.

On-site assessment is available where practical. Access, safety, machine size and the work required determine whether further workshop work is needed.

Yes. Werk Maak Sterk works with industrial mechanical and hydraulic systems, with the exact repair scope based on inspection.

The findings and recommended repair scope are explained. Repair work proceeds only after the proposed work is approved.

Older machinery can be considered. Repair feasibility depends on its condition, access to suitable parts and the work required.

Relevant functions are checked after approved repairs where safe and practical to confirm operation and identify any further adjustments.
