Heavy Equipment and Plant Maintenance
Mines quarries plantations and processing plants cannot wait for imported spares. XAIMC supplies the boring gear cutting turning and grinding machines that let a maintenance department make and repair its own parts.
What Goes Wrong in This Work
- A gear or shaft on import lead time keeps an entire line stopped
- Worn housings and bores on heavy equipment cannot be taken to a lathe
- Spares held against every possible failure tie up working capital
- Remote sites cannot rely on outside machining services
What the Workshop Actually Needs
- Horizontal boring capacity for large housings that cannot be moved to a lathe
- Gear hobbing so replacement gears are a shop job rather than an import
- Heavy-duty turning for shafts rolls and pins
- Machines simple enough to run and maintain on site

Heavy Equipment and Plant Maintenance Questions
Can we cut our own replacement gears?
Yes, that is what a gear hobbing machine is for. Send us the largest gear diameter and module you need and whether you cut helical gears.
What if the housing is too big to move?
Horizontal boring and milling machines are built for exactly that case — you bring the spindle to the bore rather than the part to the machine.
Are conventional machines a better choice for a remote site?
Often yes. They tolerate variable power supply, are easier to fault-find locally, and do not depend on a control system specialist.
