REMANUFACTURE

Sheet metal machines rebuilt to original specifications – AS NEW

Outstanding service, technical knowledge, and attention to detail go into the remanufacture of every machine that enters our facility. We rebuild to match the exact specifications of the original machine using a combination of reused, repaired and new parts. Worn out or obsolete components are replaced or repaired and parts subject to degradation or which affect performance or expected life are replaced. This thorough and precise process eliminates any defects in the original design and minimises ongoing maintenance costs.

The result is a remanufactured machine with the same specification, function, quality and performance as a brand new machine – a turnkey solution. We stock a large selection of machines across the whole Amada range and our engineers are happy to advise which machine best suits your intended application.

The Remanufacturing Process

Remanufacture Process in Detail

Machine Sourcing

We buy machines in a condition and at a price where they can be economically remanufactured to meet the required standard and specification. A remanufactured machine naturally has a lower value than a new one, so we only purchase machines matching these criteria.

Decommissioning and Removal to JTES Remanufacture Facility

Amada trained engineers decommission the machine before it is transported carefully and securely to our workshop by an Amada approved haulage contractor.

Recommissioning, Inspection and Strip Down

When a machine arrives at the JTES workshop, it is re-commissioned ready for thorough examination. Our experienced engineers leave nothing to chance. As they strip the machine back to its frame and run through their rigorous checklist, they compile a list of parts required for remanufacture, and identify worn or faulty parts that need to be replaced or repaired. Many of these parts would not be found during a standard machine service.

Deep Clean

After years of production, the machine will need a deep clean. A build up of abrasive metal dust, slugs and grease needs to be removed. If left, this can form an abrasive paste which will prematurely wear mechanical parts. We give the bare frame a thorough clean and all the assemblies and parts removed are either run through our Technowash rotary parts washer, or cleaned manually using our three-phase diesel steam cleaner.

Part Procurement and Rework

Holding an extensive stock inventory of parts at our workshop means we can produce high-quality equipment at the right price. We order new OEM parts as required and, where parts are not manufactured by Amada, we source direct from all over Europe and Asia to maximise supply chain efficiencies. Parts that cannot be reworked in house, e.g. ballscrews and hydraulic cylinders, are sent to our specialist engineering partners for remanufacture. Our metal shop, with lathe, mill, blast cabinet, laser, punch, MIG/TIG welding, pressbrake, and paint booth also produces parts on demand.

Machine Rebuild

It can take 250+ man hours to make a single machine “as good as new”. Once the necessary new or reworked parts have been fitted, the rebuild begins. We follow an almost identical process to that used in Amada factories.

Cosmetic Uplift

Every machine has to look as good as it works. It’s true that our remanufactured machines are often mistaken for new! Machine covers go for chemical dipping prior to inspection in the JTES metal shop. Damaged panels are not simply repaired, but reverse engineered from the originals in house. Previously wet painted panels are powder coated to match the Amada original colour and texture, giving durability and visual appeal. The repaired and refinished panels are then refitted.

Testing and Pre-delivery Inspection

Every machine goes through extensive testing to ensure it performs to its original OEM specifications. A machine must achieve 100% for speed, accuracy and quality of components before we release it from our workshop.

Delivery, Commissioning and Training

In the UK, machines are collected, delivered, offloaded and positioned by our specialist machine hauliers. Correct installation and commissioning is vital to achieve optimum performance. All UK, and the majority of exported machines, are commissioned by our team of Amada trained engineers. This is followed by on-site operator training covering operation, health and safety, and general maintenance.

Warranty and Ongoing Support

Machines are offered with a comprehensive parts and labour warranty. After the warranty period expires, we continue to offer industry leading after-sales support including complimentary telephone support, servicing, parts, consumables, and breakdown cover.
