Services
CNC Retrofitting
Our CNC retrofitting replaces outdated control systems with modern Siemens or Fanuc technology. We upgrade servo motors, electrical components, and wiring while maintaining original mechanical structures. This cost-effective solution extends machine lifespan by 15+ years while improving accuracy and throughput for manufacturers seeking modernization without full replacement.
Machine Tool Rebuilding
We restore machines to original specifications through complete mechanical overhaul and component replacement. Our process includes way scraping, alignment verification, and functional testing to meet OEM tolerances. This service preserves valuable machine bases while eliminating performance limitations caused by wear and outdated technology in vertical boring mills and horizontal boring machines.
Custom Machining Centers
Our engineering team designs custom multi-axis machining centers for complex aerospace and energy sector applications. Using finite element analysis and dynamic simulation, we create systems that handle large composite parts with 0.0005" accuracy. These purpose-built machines integrate specialized tooling and automation for high-volume production of turbine blades, valve bodies, and structural components.
Vertical Turning Lathes
We provide new and certified pre-owned vertical turning centers with capacities up to 108" diameter. Our Velocity VTC series features live milling capabilities and heavy-duty castings for aerospace component manufacturing. Retrofit packages enhance existing VTLs with modern controls and improved spindle performance for demanding metalworking applications in energy and transportation sectors.
Preventive Maintenance
Our preventive maintenance programs reduce unplanned downtime through regular inspections and component replacement. Certified technicians perform laser alignment, lubrication analysis, and vibration testing according to ISO 10791 standards. Customers receive detailed reports tracking machine health metrics and predictive maintenance recommendations to optimize equipment lifecycle.

Best employer that I know. I love working for KRC. I always have a great time when I go to the shop. Great company, great people. They do excellent work on repairing, retrofitting, rebuilding and building new machines. World class company, small town feel.
