Keep Your AIS Machine Running Like New
Our Precision Machined Stripper Jaws and Mandrels Have a Lead Time From Order of Approximately SIX Weeks.
Can you afford to have that much idle machine time?
Our precision-machined stripper jaws and mandrels are custom-built for each AIS installation system. Because of that, replacement parts aren’t sitting on a shelf — they’re made to order, with a typical lead time of up to six weeks.
Can you afford that much idle machine time?
Machine downtime in a fast-paced production environment is like a surprise guest at a meticulously planned dinner party — it throws everything into disarray. When production stops, orders are delayed, deadlines are missed, and the cost of idle labor and equipment quickly adds up. Every second counts, and downtime becomes the unwelcome guest that overstays its welcome, consuming time and resources that could be better spent keeping production on track.
Downtime also takes a toll on morale. A skilled team, ready to work, can quickly become frustrated when a key machine decides to “take a nap” mid-shift. Keeping your production line running isn’t just about maintaining efficiency — it’s about keeping your people engaged and focused on what they do best: producing high-quality parts, quickly and consistently.
Moreover, machine downtime isn't just an inconvenience, it's a major morale buster. Imagine a team of highly skilled workers, ready and raring to go, only to be thwarted by a finicky machine that decides to take a nap in the middle of a shift. It's like training for a marathon, only to trip on your shoelace at the starting line. The frustration can lead to decreased motivation and increased stress among employees, who may feel like they're constantly fighting against the clock and the machines. Keeping the production line up and running isn't just about maintaining efficiency; it's about ensuring a happy, engaged workforce that can focus on what they do best, producing high-quality products at a rapid pace.
What exactly is an AIS Spare Parts Kit?
It’s a proactive solution to keep your operations running without a hitch.
Included in the kit are an extra mandrel and a set of stripper jaws, crucial components of our O-Ring installation machines.
Having these spare parts on hand allows our customers to swiftly address and repair any damage to these vital parts, significantly reducing downtime. We highly recommend investing in this kit, especially considering the precision machined parts require a six-week lead time to produce. In the realm of just-in-time manufacturing, such a delay can be more than just an inconvenience; it can be downright disruptive.
Keeping a spare set readily available isn’t just good planning, it’s an insurance policy for your production line’s efficiency and continuity.
What exactly is an AIS FasPac kit?
This kit is a collection of the hardware and springs that help hold together an O-Ring installation machines head assembly.
At AIS, we recognize the challenges involved in managing numerous small components, especially when disassembling machines for cleaning or maintenance. To address this, we've developed the FasPac Kit, which includes the tiny parts from the head assembly, ensuring you have replacements ready when needed.
By having a FasPac Kit on hand, you can significantly reduce downtime. It’s not just a set of spare parts, it’s peace of mind, enabling you to maintain your equipment with ease and keep your production line moving without unnecessary delays.
Breathe New Life Into Older AIS Machines
Upgrade, Rebuild, and Keep Your Investment Working Like New
Even the most reliable AIS machine can show its age after years of service — but replacement isn’t your only option. AIS offers complete refurbishment and rebuild services, restoring your equipment to like-new condition and even upgrading it to meet today’s automation standards.
Our technicians can:
-
Rebuild or replace worn mechanical components
-
Update controls, sensors, and wiring to the latest specifications
-
Integrate automation options — including 5-Axis or SCARA-assisted operation — for hands-free installs
-
Recalibrate and test for precision performance
-
Refinish and re-certify assemblies for long-term reliability
Whether you want your machine restored to original performance or transformed into a fully automated system like the one shown here, AIS can tailor the upgrade to your production goals.
A refurbishment or automation upgrade not only extends the life of your investment but brings older systems up to current production demands — often at a fraction of the cost of a new build.
Keep your AIS machine performing like it did on day one — with the right spares on hand, a FasPac Kit ready for maintenance, and the confidence that AIS can rebuild or automate your system when the time comes.
