CNC are Fanuc specialists: Parts – Exchange – Repair – Test – Surplus
- Exchange -> Emergency breakdowns; swap the bad for the good immediately. Order Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30PM to ship same day!
- Repair -> Save money avoid paying deposit, keeping your own unit with known history. Current clean, inspect, repair and test turnaround 24-48 hours (normal).
- Surplus -> Either for stock critical parts or for drives that are not repairable or exchangeable due to burn outs, corrosion, etc.
