T.M. Services Comes to Joinery's Rescue
Stepping in where others had failed, T.M. Services & Spares successfully repaired a seriously damaged Italian four-headed planer/moulder at a Hampshire joinery.
(prHWY.com) October 17, 2012 - Leicester, United Kingdom -- Oadby, Leicester, UK, October 09, 2012 -- Stepping in where others had failed, T.M. Services & Spares successfully repaired a seriously damaged Italian four-headed planer/moulder at a Hampshire joinery.
The nine-year-old Griggio G23-4 is a vital part of the production process at shopfitting joinery specialists, Powells Joinery, part of the Powells Group of Andover and one of the top 20 shopfitting companies in the UK.
When the machine broke down after a shaft had become bent causing extensive internal damage, joinery foreman James Wright called in a local woodworking machinery engineer to get it fixed.
"After taking a look at the machine he said he couldn't tell what was wrong with it, which was very disappointing," said Mr Wright. "As the Griggio is one of our main machines it was a nightmare being without it."
He then had an idea and rang up T.M. Machinery in Leicester, who had supplied and regularly serviced their Striebig vertical panel saw, and asked if they could help.
"They sent down an engineer from their service division the following day and after inspecting the Griggio faxed through a report of what was wrong and what parts were needed to get it going again," said Mr Wright.
The new parts needed included a short and long shaft, two double pinions, a length of Duplex chain and five bearings.
After obtaining them from the Italian manufacturer T.M. Service's engineer returned to the joinery to fit them and make sure that the machine was in perfect working order.
"I am 100 per cent satisfied with that T.M. did for us," said Mr Wright. "Their engineer really knew what he was doing, and this kind of first class service is exactly what we need in the fast-moving environment we work in. "I would certainly recommend them to anyone with a machine problem; in fact I already have."
