Lengthy Lead Times for Vital Equipment
System breakdowns present serious manufacturing problems. After all, the longer equipment is inoperable, the more revenue and productivity is lost by the manufacturer. For this reason, if a replacement part is not readily available on-site, manufacturers will typically begin to scramble to find a solution. A contractor for the global aerospace and defense industry was experiencing this type of breakdown, as two original equipment manufacturer (OEM) cylinders critical to their manufacturing process were failing.
To get their operations back on track, the customer first reached out to their OEM. However, the OEM informed the customer that they would require a two-month lead time. Knowing that their operations could not wait, the customer began exploring OEM alternatives. This lead to them reaching out to their local Motion branch. The Motion branch then contacted the nearest Motion Repair & Services shop with an Aventics Cylinder Build Program.
Motion Repair & Services' One-Day Turnaround for OEM Alternatives
The Aventics Cylinder Build Program provides alternatives to OEM specifications. This program provides three types of cylinders for customers: air, low-pressure hydraulic, and high-pressure hydraulic. Each type of cylinder is available in multiple bore sizes and has up to 15 mounting options designed to meet customers’ needs. Specifications can be completed in just one business day and delivered within 24–48 hours.
The Motion branch requested that the customer’s two new cylinders be built with a one-day turnaround time. The Motion Repair & Services shop in Birmingham, Alabama, quickly got to work and was able to complete the project on time.
Motion Repair & Services’ Aventics cylinders successfully replaced the customer’s OEM cylinders. The customer even ordered an additional replacement package for 34 new cylinders. Overall, the customer was thrilled that the Aventics cylinders reduced their downtime and saved their manufacturing operations time and money.
