Overhauling Mikron Machines

Mikron 102 MPS Overhaul Process

We realize you have many options when it comes to equipment, including:

  • Buying new machines,
  • Buying used machines,
  • Continuing to operate and repair your machine, as you go along, or
  • Overhauling your existing machine.

Although overhauling may not be the least expensive option, we believe it will be the best one in the long run.

In making your decision please keep in mind the following points:

  • We have extensive, technical expertise in repairing, maintaining and overhauling
  • Mikron machines.
  • We have overhauled more than 100 Mikron machines
  • We have an extensive inventory of parts and technical drawings
  • You are offered two overhauling options
  • Overhauling will be done at the factory, so as not to interfere with your operation
  •  There is a 12 month warranty

An example of the overhauling process is described as follows:
