Repair Service Listings
The Strippit Company has Some Excellent Servicemen,
and Many that are Not so Excellent, Just like Most Other Companies.
But, I Keep getting Phone Calls from Strippit's Customers looking for Alternatives to using The Strippit Service Department. They Like Their Strippit Machines!
But are Frustrated with Service & Tech-Support & Parts Availability from the Strippit Co.
One Customer called Strippit wanting Manuals for his Strippit Helios Laser Machine,
and was told "We'll Call Belgium, and Try to get a Set for You". This Strippit
"Tech Support" Person did Not even know this Machine Did Not Come From Belgium,
but was Designed & Build & Supported from Akron NY, Right where He Was Sitting!
Another Customer needed a Hydraulic Pump, and was told it would take a
"Couple of Months" to get 1 from Belgium. Strippit could Not even Say When!
Another just called me, and said it would take Strippit 3 Months to get a New Ballscrew
for his Machine. Months! What the Hell are these Shop Owners suppose to do in the meantime with their Production? They Depend on Decent Support!
Another Customer called that has 4 Strippit Punch Machines. They have been Calling
And Faxing And Emailing The Strippit "Service" Department for 2-Weeks trying to
get Price and Availability on Repair Parts! 2-Weeks, and Still No Response!! Obviously, They are Rethinking The Machine Brand they want to be Partnered With!
Many Calls from California that Local Strippit-Factory Servicemen Can't Handle their Machine Problems, and they End-Up having to Fly a Strippit Servicemen
All-The-Way from Strippit Factory in Akron, New York!
Guess Who Pays for ALL Airfare & Car Rental & Hotels & Travel Hours?
A Maryland Customer called for the Same Reason, "The Local Strippit Servicemen
Tries Real-Hard, but Repeatedly, Can't Fix Our Machine, and we have to Fly-In a
Serviceman from Strippit Factory at Our Cost!".
And Above is from Here in the U.S., where Strippit's Service is at it's "Best".
You should hear Sad Stories People Email me from Around The Rest of The World.
08/2016, Another Call from Long-Time Canadian Strippit Customer with 4 Strippit Punch
Machines. He Can't get through to Strippit for Phone Support, he's put on hold forever, then times-out & is disconnected. Has great Difficulty trying to get a Strippit Serviceman. Strippit now Forces him to go-through a Local Distributor who has No Fucking Idea what they are doing, to order repair parts. He is now Switching to Amada
Co. who provides Much Better Service & Support in ALL Markets. Sadly, I would too.
To be Fair, I Know Plenty of Service & Part Horror-Stories about Amada, Finn-Power,
Trumpf, Muratec, and Nisshinbo Companies. They are All Far From Perfect!
Strippit Can Fix These Problems, but owner LVD has shown that they don't want to.
It Takes a Long-Term Commitment to Quality Customer Support;
1 --- Hire a Few More People for Engineering, Field-Service, and Tech-Support, as
they are Spread Way Too-Thin. Be Better Than The Competition, It's Not Very Hard!
Value your Employees, and make them less Fearful of Losing Their Jobs.
All Incoming Service Phone Calls to Strippit ( That's You, Customer!!! )
are Now Recorded & Computerized to-the-Second, with
Strippit Management Getting a Printout of Your Phone Call Activity to Strippit, and
how Long "Tech-Support" People Talked to You! Wouldn't Want them Taking Too Much with You. Is this a LVD Belgium Thing? Welcome to George Orwell's 1984!
They Laid-Off People like Wittmeyer, their Last HECC80 Control Guy.
There is Now NO "Tech Support" for Any HECC80 Control Machine at Strippit.
Luckily For You, That's My Speciality Here At Machine Technologies!
Strippit also Stopped Phone Support for Hundreds of "R-Machine's" made in 1990's,
but may send a Serviceman for a Few Thousand Dollars C.O.D. to "Take a Look At It".
Up-Date 8/2016, Now I'm told that LVD Strippit
will NO Longer Support ANY Machine made with Strippit's MAC or PC Control.
LVD Strippit just does Not "Get-It". And more troubles with Mechanical Part & Fanuc Part Availability. Surely you can Engineer Better Customer Service than this, Tony.
If this All Seems a Little Pointed, you can also Thank Chris Szmania, who from the
Many Customer Complaints, seems to be Making Strippit Company Policy these days.
2 --- Train these Service People Better,
and Equip them with All the Tools & Documentation They Need.
3 --- Pay & Take-Care of these Service People,
so you Retain Their Valuable Knowledge & Experience. They make You Money!
As Strippit Charges about $150.00+ a Hour for Service, $225.00+ a Hour for Overtime Service, and $300.00+ a Hour for Super-Duper Weekend Double-Time Service,
Plus Add-In All-The-Expences & Travel Costs on Top, and You-Would-Think Strippit Could Afford to Provide Very Good Service, and Would Be Very Happy To Do So!
4 --- Maintain Adequate Repair Parts Inventory for All Your Machine Product Lines.
Strippit Charges Plenty for their Parts, they could at Least Keep Parts In-Stock!
As The-Above Seems Very Un-Likely to Happen, Here, In No Particular Order,
are Some Independent Alternatives to "Official Strippit Service".
I have Also Included some Servicemen & Vendors for Other Brands of Machine Tools.
Note #1
Many of these Servicemen will Travel Outside of their Listed Area,
and most have More Expertise than I can List Here.
So, Call & Ask Them Specifically What they Can, and Can Not Do for You!
Note #2
If you Know of Good Competent Servicemen that can Service
Strippit Punch & Laser Machines, as well as Other Fab Machinery,
Anywhere in the U.S. & The World,
Have them Contact Me with Their Qualifications,
I will Add them to this Service List Page For-Free!
Note #3
Some in Akron Think I Hate Strippit, which is Ridiculous.
I Want Strippit to Prosper!
Not for Strippit's Stupid Current-Owners LVD,
But for Strippit's American Workers and American Manufacturing.
LVD-Strippit Makes Good Machinery,
But they have Built a Deserved Reputation for Very Poor "After-The-Sale" Support!
The First Rule of Business is When You are in a "Deep Hole", Stop Digging!!!
Good Grief, For Strippit's (Certainly NOT Mine) Own Good,
I am Trying to Cajole LVD-Strippit into Stop Digging Their Bad Reputation Hole!
They will NOT Prosper Again until they do so.
BUT, The Process of Destroying Strippit Co. which started under
and continues under LVD Chairman Jean-Pierre Lefebvre, is nearing the end.
Strippit used to have 600+ Employees, now down to about 80, and
That is why You Can't Get Service, Repair-Parts, Tech-Support,
or Anything else out of LVD-Strippit these days.
Don't take my Word for it, Call 716-542-4511 and Ask the Service Dept.
Where the Nearest Actual Serviceman is for YOUR Model Machine!
Especially you Shop Owners in California, you'll Love The Answer.
Before you buy Anything New from LVD-Strippit, I would take a Tour of their Plant in Akron, NY and ask some Hard Questions. And Don't let them Bullshit You that
"All the Dark Shop-Lights Out-back are because all the Shop-Guys are Out to Lunch".
READ Strippit VS Amada
Note #4
I had Really Hoped that LVD Company would Rejuvenate Strippit, BUT
January 2021 LVD Finally Killed The Strippit Company!
Alter a CENTURY Of The Strippit Company Industry-Leading
Punch & CNC Control & Laser & Tooling Products and Innovations
LVD has Ended The Strippit Company and Remnants are now "LVD Services".
Carefully Factor this into your Machine Buying Decisions.
Note #5
This Web-Page is a Work In Progress.
I will Update it Frequently, and will Add New Servicemen & Web-Links,

Fanuc Repair Parts & Repair Services on
CNC Controls and Servo Drive Systems
I don't like the Fanuc Company & I don't like some of their business practices.
Fanuc Prices are VERY High, some Part Availability is Poor or Nonexistence, and
essential support like Electronic Schematics are "Secret". But with help of
Destroyed The U.S. CNC Control Industry, Fanuc is now Biggest CNC Control Manufacture in the World, and Most Strippit & Other Machine Tools Now come Standard with Fanuc CNC Controls & Servo Systems.
We, here at Machine Technologies Co., do very little Fanuc Parts & Service,

Ballscrew Repairs
Ballscrews are a Factory-Built Precision-Assembly consisting of Leadscrew/Ballscrew & Ballnut & Roller-Balls. Generally, you Do NOT Replace just 1 Item and your Assembly Magically becomes "New Again". Most of the Wear & Slop is in the Ballnut
and Balls, the Screw itself has Much More Wear Surface and is not really the problem.
Years ago, I used to ship Ballscrew Assemblies to the Beaver Precision Co. and they would do a light Re-grind on the Screw, Make a New Ballnut because they were Always Worn, and then fit New Slightly Larger Balls into assembly which came back to me
Like-New. But Beaver has gone Out of Business because of Cheap Imports.
There are Many "Ballscrew Rebuilders" around the Country, and most just Repack
the Ballnut with Larger Balls, in Their Shop or Yours, and Call it "Rebuilt".
Here are 4 Ballscrew Rebuilders, but there are Many more.
