Paper Mill Back Online Fast with 3D Scanning and CNC Machining

Production at a leading white paper mill came to a sudden stop when a critical bearing housing broke down. With equipment offline and downtime mounting by the minute, the customer needed immediate action. They called CMMC for an emergency solution that would restore operations fast while also securing a reliable long-term fix.

CHALLENGES

The housing failure left the line down with no direct replacement available. Not only did the customer need a rapid repair to get back into production, but they also required a precision-built replacement housing, and time was critical. Every hour of downtime meant rising costs and mounting pressure.

SOLUTION

CMMC mobilized immediately. A truck was dispatched the same day to retrieve the damaged part, and our team executed an emergency repair to return the component within hours. At the same time, we deployed our advanced Keyence 3D scanning system on-site to capture the dimensions of an identical housing. This high-accuracy scan provided the data needed for reverse engineering, allowing our machinists to begin building a new CNC-milled part without delay.

RESULTS

Operations resumed the very same day with the repaired housing in place, eliminating costly downtime. Within one week, the team completed a brand-new CNC-machined housing built directly from the scan data, a turnaround that outpaced standard industry lead times. By combining rapid emergency repair with the precision of 3D scanning technology, CMMC not only delivered immediate relief but also ensured the client had a long-term, high-quality replacement part ready for the future.
