Spare-part reproduction · missing drawings · mechanical components
Manufacture a replacement part from a sample.
Is a replacement part unavailable and the original drawing missing? BEICK reviews existing samples, sketches and records as the basis for a technically agreed reproduction. The shape is only part of the task: the component must fulfil its function in the installed assembly.
Typical starting points include bushes, pins, adapters, brackets and mechanical connectors. Feasibility is assessed for the specific component.
Discuss your enquiryDistinguish measured from intended dimensions
What a worn sample cannot tell you.
Wear, deformation or breakage may have changed the dimensions. Simply reproducing that condition can result in a part that resembles the sample but does not work as intended. Information about mating components and installation is therefore particularly important.
- Which surfaces guide, seal or transmit loads?
- Which fits and connections must be retained?
- Is the original material known?
- What temperatures, media and loads occur?
- Should the original condition be restored or a modification assessed?
Assess · reconstruct · approve
Turn a sample into agreed manufacturing information.
- Initial review: Photos, dimensions and a fault description help identify the task.
- Assessment: The sample and available records are reviewed within the agreed scope.
- Technical clarification: Intended dimensions, material, function and outstanding features are agreed.
- Data preparation: Where required, a CAD model and drawing provide the manufacturing basis.
- Manufacture and handover: The component is made and checked within the agreed scope.
See our manufacturing-data checklist for information about the documentation.
Inquire about a projectNo unreviewed material substitution
Metal or polymer depends on the application.
Suitable metal components may be turned, milled and finished through additional workshop operations. FDM 3D printing may suit appropriate polymer parts. Being able to print a shape does not justify replacing a metal component with polymer.
Read about mechanical manufacturing and 3D printing for maintenance and spare parts. Safety-, pressure- or approval-related components require separate technical clarification; no blanket suitability assurance is given.
Inquire about a projectSample, function and quantity
Prepare your sample-based enquiry.
Start with photographs from several angles, approximate dimensions, machine or assembly identification and a description of the failure. Include quantity, known material information and the required date. Agree sample delivery with us in advance.
Rights relating to drawings and components must be respected. Reconstruction does not imply OEM approval or guaranteed equivalence to an original part. For existing VIB systems, see spare parts for steam boxes and modules.
Inquire about a projectDescribe the situation even without a drawing
Ask us to assess a replacement part.
We will establish whether an assessment is worthwhile, what information is missing and whether repair or reproduction merits further investigation. Price and timing depend on the agreed scope.
