Is Linear Guide Refurbishment Possible?

Many engineers and maintenance specialists assume that worn linear guides must be replaced with new ones. But is that always necessary? At Rollico, we know that replacement is not the only solution – in many cases, professional refurbishment proves to be an effective alternative.

 

How does the assessment process work?

Every case begins with a thorough technical analysis. Our specialists check whether a given guide is suitable for repair – because not every guide can be safely restored.

Our technological capabilities

Rollico has advanced grinding machines that allow refurbishment of linear guide raceways. If repair is possible, we prepare a detailed report, including information on potential dimensional changes or shifts relative to the reference surface. This ensures that, after refurbishment, the system operates with full precision and maintains its durability.

What Does the Client Gain?

  • lower costs – repair instead of purchasing new guides,
  • shorter machine downtime,
  • extended system lifespan thanks to professional machining.

A Second Life for Guides

Refurbishment is not always possible, but where it is feasible, it can significantly reduce costs and improve the efficiency of the entire production line.

If you are wondering whether your guides could get a second life, contact us. At Rollico, we combine experience, precision, and a responsible approach to help engineers find the best solution.
