Some industrial work is difficult to explain with a list of services.

You need to see the scale of the equipment.

The amount of steel involved.

The condition of a component when it arrives.

The machining required to bring it back.

The fabrication needed to replace what has worn away.

And the finished equipment ready to return to service.

Electric Machine & Fab handles demanding industrial projects involving heavy equipment rebuilding, machining, fabrication, welding, electric motor repair, plate processing, reverse engineering, and custom component manufacturing.

From our facilities in Williamson, West Virginia, and Sidney, Kentucky, EMF takes on the kind of work that requires more than one capability and more than one way of solving the problem.

This is where the work speaks for itself.

Built for the Tough Jobs

EMF's projects often begin with equipment that has already lived a hard life.

A component may arrive:

• Cracked
• Worn
• Distorted
• Damaged
• Missing material
• Mechanically worn
• Structurally compromised
• Obsolete
• Difficult to replace
• No longer supported by the original manufacturer

The answer isn't always to buy another one.

Sometimes the practical solution is to repair it, rebuild it, reproduce it, or modify it.

That's where EMF's range of capabilities becomes valuable.

Equipment Rebuilds

Heavy equipment rebuilds can involve far more than replacing a few worn parts.

Major projects may require:

• Disassembly
• Damage evaluation
• Structural repair
• Heavy welding
• Replacement steel
• Wear-area rebuilding
• Machining
• Bore restoration
• Pin and shaft work
• Replacement components
• Reverse engineering
• Fabrication
• Reassembly
• Finishing and painting

EMF can bring many of these operations together within one company.

That matters when the component is large, the damage is significant, and the project requires coordination across several industrial trades.

Mining Equipment Projects

Mining equipment is some of the hardest-working machinery in industry.

Underground and surface mining equipment is constantly exposed to:

• Abrasion
• Impact
• Heavy loads
• Structural stress
• Continuous operation
• Severe wear

EMF's mining-related work can include:

• Longwall mining components
• Buckets and scoops
• Heavy structural assemblies
• Wear components
• Mining equipment frames
• Mechanical components
• Large industrial motors
• Shafts and drive components
• Custom replacement parts

Projects may involve welding, machining, fabrication, plate cutting, component rebuilding, and finishing as part of the same job.

Heavy Equipment & Earthmoving Components

Mining isn't the only industry that destroys steel.

Construction, earthmoving, aggregate, and material-handling equipment experience many of the same kinds of wear.

EMF can take on heavy components including:

• Buckets
• Scoops
• Structural assemblies
• Equipment frames
• Wear areas
• Pins
• Shafts
• Bushings
• Bores
• Mounting components
• Custom fabricated pieces

The objective isn't simply to patch damage.

It is to evaluate whether the component can be properly rebuilt and returned to productive service.

Industrial Machining Projects

Some of EMF's most important projects are not the biggest pieces in the shop.

They're the components that have to be right.

A worn shaft.

A damaged journal.

An oversized bore.

A failed pin.

A custom component nobody can source anymore.

Industrial machining projects can involve:

• Shafts
• Pins
• Bushings
• Sleeves
• Bores
• Journals
• Hubs
• Bearing fits
• Mechanical interfaces
• Equipment components
• Custom replacement parts
• Fabricated-and-machined assemblies

Machining may be the entire project or one critical stage within a larger rebuild.

Fabrication & Welding Projects

Heavy industrial fabrication projects often begin with substantial steel and a problem that doesn't have an off-the-shelf answer.

EMF can support projects involving:

• Heavy steel plate
• Structural assemblies
• Equipment frames
• Mounting structures
• Replacement sections
• Custom fabricated parts
• Heavy repair components
• Reinforcement
• Mining equipment
• Industrial equipment
• Fabricated-and-machined assemblies

The ability to combine cutting, welding, fabrication, machining, and assembly gives EMF flexibility to produce more complete solutions.

Large-Format CNC Plate Cutting

At EMF's Sidney, Kentucky facility, a large-format Messer CNC cutting system provides significant plate-processing capability.

The system features a:

10-Foot × 30-Foot Cutting Table

For appropriate materials and applications, EMF can process heavy plate in the 8- to 10-inch thickness range.

This capability can support projects involving:

• Heavy fabrication blanks
• Equipment bases
• Mining components
• Wear plates
• Structural repair sections
• Heavy equipment components
• Custom industrial parts
• Large fabricated assemblies

And the material doesn't have to leave EMF after it is cut.

It can continue through:

Plate Cutting → Fabrication → Welding → Machining → Assembly → Finishing

Large Industrial Electric Motor Projects

EMF's Williamson facility is a major center for large industrial electric motor and electromechanical work.

Motor projects can require more than electrical repair alone.

They may also involve:

• Shaft work
• Bearing-fit repair
• Mechanical component restoration
• Machining
• Housing-related repairs
• Replacement parts
• Electromechanical repair
• Power transmission components

That ability to address both electrical and mechanical aspects of a project is one of Williamson's key strengths.

Reverse Engineering & Obsolete Parts

Some projects begin with an entirely different problem:

Nobody makes the part anymore.

The original manufacturer may have discontinued it.

The drawing may be gone.

The machine may have been modified decades ago.

Or the only useful reference may be the worn component itself.

EMF can use engineering, analysis, and reverse engineering to help establish the requirements for repair or replacement.

From there, the component can move into:

• Machining
• Fabrication
• Plate processing
• Custom manufacturing
• Equipment modification

Replacement Parts Manufacturing

A failed industrial component doesn't always need to come from an OEM catalog.

EMF can manufacture custom industrial replacement parts for equipment where standard replacements are unavailable or impractical.

Projects can begin from:

• Existing drawings
• Specifications
• Samples
• Existing components
• Measurements
• Available equipment information

Then EMF can determine whether the part should be:

• Machined
• Fabricated
• Cut from heavy plate
• Built as an assembly
• Modified from an existing design

Repair. Rebuild. Reproduce. Modify.

Different projects require different solutions.

Repair It

Restore the existing component where practical.

Rebuild It

Address multiple areas of wear, damage, or mechanical deterioration.

Reproduce It

Manufacture a replacement when the original part is unavailable or beyond repair.

Modify It

Adapt existing equipment when a new component or operating requirement changes the original configuration.

EMF's real capability is not one specific machine or one specific trade.

It's the ability to combine processes to solve difficult industrial problems.

One Project. Multiple Capabilities.

A complex industrial project might require:

Evaluation → Engineering → Disassembly → Plate Cutting → Fabrication → Welding → Machining → Replacement Parts → Assembly → Finishing

That is the kind of work EMF is built around.

Instead of forcing the customer to coordinate separate machine shops, welders, fabricators, and component suppliers, EMF can often bring several stages of the project together.

That can simplify the process and provide better continuity from damaged component to finished repair.

Two Facilities. Different Strengths.

EMF's project capabilities are supported by two complementary locations.

From Worn-Out to Back at Work

The most useful way to judge an industrial repair company isn't by how polished the equipment looks when it arrives.

It's by what the equipment looks like when the work is finished.

A worn component can become a rebuilt component.

A missing section of steel can become a new fabricated structure.

An obsolete part can become a manufactured replacement.

A damaged mechanical feature can become a usable surface again.

That's what EMF's project capabilities are built to accomplish.

Have a Project Nobody Wants?

That is often a good place to start.

Large equipment.

Odd component.

Heavy steel.

Severe wear.

Obsolete part.

Custom machining.

Difficult fabrication.

A repair that needs several capabilities under one roof.
