MILLWRIGHTS

Our millwrights install, troubleshoot and repair machinery used in manufacturing such as assembly lines, stamping machines and conveyors. In addition to their knowledge of mechanical systems, our millwrights are also adept at working with people on the same team.

We have knowledge of mechanical systems and how they work; reading blueprints or schematics so that we can plan out our work before starting any repairs or installations on a machine.

We'll also operate or tend metal forming machines such as rollers, shears or presses to shape metal stock into desired forms; layout and measure materials to be cut; position cutting tools on machine table or machine bed; align cutting tools with material edges; set up plumb bob to ensure straight, true cuts; and align work pieces so that machine makes accurate cuts.
