Our Machining Capabilities
Every machining project starts with understanding the part, the application, and the problem it needs to solve. Our shop is equipped to handle a wide range of custom machining and repair work for industrial and heavy-duty applications.
Milling Services
Our milling services support the creation and repair of custom components for machinery, equipment, and structural applications. Milling is commonly used for parts that require accurate slots, surfaces, bolt patterns, pockets, keyways, mounting points, and custom profiles.
We can assist with components such as:
- Plates and brackets
- Mounting blocks
- Equipment components
- Custom machine parts
- Repair plates
- Housings
- Slots and keyways
- Fabricated assemblies requiring machined features
Whether you need a new part manufactured or an existing component repaired or modified, our milling capabilities allow us to create functional, accurate parts for demanding applications.
Turning & Lathe Services
Galvao Machine provides turning and lathe services for round, cylindrical, and rotating components. These services are commonly used for worn parts, replacement components, and precision repair work.
Our turning services can support parts such as:
- Shafts
- Pins
- Bushings
- Sleeves
- Rollers
- Spacers
- Couplers
- Threaded components
- Bearing surfaces
- Custom round parts
Lathe work is especially valuable for equipment repairs where a worn or damaged part needs to be restored, reproduced, or modified to fit the application.
Keyway Broaching & Machined Features
Keyways, slots, and other machined features are often essential for power transmission, alignment, and proper equipment function. Galvao Machine can support custom keyway work and related machining requirements for shafts, hubs, pulleys, sprockets, and other mechanical components.
These services are useful for:
- Drive components
- Replacement shafts
- Couplers
- Rotating assemblies
- Equipment rebuilds
- Modified or custom-fit parts
Press Work & Component Repair
In addition to machining, Galvao Machine can support repair work involving pressed components, worn assemblies, and heavy-duty equipment parts. This may include work related to pins, bushings, bearings, sleeves, and other components that require careful removal, fitting, or repair.
For customers dealing with equipment wear, damaged fits, or component failure, our repair-focused approach helps identify a practical way to get machinery back into service.
Machining Support for Fabricated Components
Because Galvao Machine also provides welding and fabrication services, we can support projects that require both fabricated and machined components. This is useful when a part must be welded, built up, reinforced, modified, and then machined to final size or fit.
This combined capability is helpful for:
- Equipment frames
- Brackets and supports
- Guards and fixtures
- Material handling components
- Heavy equipment repairs
- Custom industrial assemblies
- Replacement parts that require both fabrication and machining
Custom Replacement Parts for Industrial & Heavy Equipment
Many customers come to Galvao Machine when a part is no longer available, too costly to replace, or needed faster than a supplier can provide it. Our team can help reproduce or repair components used in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, trailers, conveyors, processing equipment, and other heavy-duty systems.
We commonly support custom replacement parts such as:
- Shafts
- Pins
- Bushings
- Brackets
- Spacers
- Sleeves
- Bearing housings
- Rollers
- Couplers
- Mounting plates
- Machine guards
- Equipment components
- Custom repair parts
When possible, we can work from drawings, measurements, samples, or existing parts. If the original component is damaged, our team can assess the part and recommend a repair or replacement approach based on the equipment’s needs.
Custom replacement parts are especially valuable for older machinery, specialized equipment, and production systems where downtime can create significant delays.
Hydraulic Cylinder Rebuilds & Repair Machining
Hydraulic systems are critical to many types of agricultural, construction, industrial, and heavy equipment. When hydraulic cylinder components wear or fail, machining support may be required to restore function, improve fit, or assist with a rebuild.
Galvao Machine provides machining and repair support for hydraulic cylinder-related components. Depending on the job, this may include work involving rods, pins, bushings, clevises, mounts, or other related parts.
Our hydraulic cylinder support can help with:
- Worn or damaged cylinder components
- Pin and bushing repairs
- Custom-machined replacement parts
- Equipment rebuilds
- Heavy equipment maintenance
- Agricultural and construction machinery repairs
- Industrial hydraulic equipment support
If a hydraulic component is worn, damaged, or difficult to replace, our team can review the part and help determine the best next step.
Equipment Rebuild & Repair Support
Galvao Machine supports equipment rebuilds and repair projects for customers who need to restore performance, extend equipment life, or keep critical systems running. Our machining services can be used as part of a larger maintenance, repair, or rebuild process.
We help customers address issues such as:
- Worn components
- Damaged parts
- Poor fit or alignment
- Obsolete replacement parts
- Equipment breakdowns
- Heavy-use wear
- Repeated part failure
- Custom modification needs
For industrial plants, farms, construction companies, logistics operations, and maintenance teams, reliable repair machining can help reduce downtime and avoid the cost of full equipment replacement.
Why Choose Galvao Machine for Machining Services?
Practical Repair Experience
Our work is not limited to making parts. We help solve real equipment problems. Whether a customer needs a replacement part, a modified component, or support during a rebuild, we focus on practical solutions that fit the equipment and application.
In-House Machining, Welding & Fabrication
Many repair and rebuild projects require more than one service. With machining, welding, fabrication, and repair capabilities, we can support more complete projects under one roof. This helps simplify coordination and improves turnaround for customers who need multiple services.
