Action Machinery 
Keeping costs low is one of the first steps you can take toward making your CNC machine shop a good investment — this is true of all businesses. And in the world of CNC, few things are as expensive as the machines that do the machining, and the seemingly inevitable repair bills that coincide with them once enough time goes by. It can be tempting to spend less on your month-to-month budget by cutting back on maintenance and machine costs, but doing so will only hurt your bottom line in the long run.
If you operate a CNC machining shop, there are steps you can take right now to mitigate or even totally prevent your next machine breakdown. Investing in preventative maintenance now can save you considerably down the line, since, between the downtime and higher repair costs when you run your machines until they fail, it’ll likely be much more cost-effective to nip your machines’ problems in the bud now.
At Action Machinery, we’re certified Mazak partners and can provide Mazak repair and preventative maintenance to any Mazak machine. We proudly provide maintenance and repair to all Colorado and Wyoming machine shops, expertly performed by our factory-certified Mazak technicians.

In this article, we’ll show you why it pays to invest in preventative maintenance, and why Action is your choice for Mazak repair when you do experience a machine malfunction.
Preventative Maintenance: Why You Should Invest
Preventative maintenance is a solid investment for any firm that relies on their CNC equipment. While it is an extra line item on your budget, that line item is nearly guaranteed to be less expensive than a full repair bill that preventative maintenance would have otherwise mitigated. And while it may not seem like it on the surface, preventative maintenance may well be the best cost-cutting measure your shop can employ. Here are some of the top benefits to investing in Mazak preventative maintenance:
- Prevent costly machine downtime by catching potential malfunctions before they fully manifest; keep your machine shop at full operational capacity for longer
- Spot and effectively deal with minor problems before they become major ones
- Save money by extending the life of your machines’ parts — repair is cheaper than full replacement
- Extend the overall lifespan of your machines by keeping their constituent parts in good working order
- Increase your machines’ resale value, should you ever need to sell or upgrade them
- Prevent injuries and other forms of property damage by keeping your machines in good shape — the better your upkeep, the safer your machines will be
- And more!
