Angle Head Repairs
UK authorised service centre for Angle Head repairs
Engineering and manufacturing expertise behind every Angle Head repair
We rebuild and recondition Angle Heads from all the major manufacturers, supporting production facilities across the UK and Europe, restoring accuracy, extending service life and minimising costly downtime.
With decades of engineering experience in precision tooling, and as designers and manufacturers of Angle Heads, we bring a level of technical understanding that goes beyond standard repair services.
We don’t just fix failures; we identify root causes and rebuild Angle Heads to precise engineering tolerances, ensuring long-term reliability.
Why It Matters Who Repairs Your Angle Heads
When tolerances matter, experience matters
Angle Heads are precision instruments operating under significant mechanical load. When internal components wear - gearing, bearings, seals - the effects compound quickly.
Runout increases, surface finish deteriorates and tolerances drift and by the time failure is obvious, secondary damage has usually already occurred.
Correct repair requires specialist knowledge of gear backlash, bearing pre-load and calibration to the manufacturer specification. Getting these wrong is the most common reason a repaired Angle Head fails again prematurely.
Our engineers have decades of experience working with Angle Heads and that experience is what we bring to every rebuild.
Our Angle Head Repair Process
Every Angle Head follows a structured, traceable rebuild process:-
- Full strip-down and chemical clean
- Complete disassembly with no shortcuts
- Component inspection and measurement
- Precision rebuild
- Bearings and seals replaced as standard (upgraded where beneficial); gear backlash and bearing pre-load set accurately
- OEM or in-house manufactured parts
- Calibration and testing
- Verified against manufacturer specifications before dispatch
- Full traceability
- Serial number assigned on arrival for tracking and service history
All replaced parts are covered by a 12-month warranty.
All work is completed at our UK facility, ensuring no overseas delays. Our standard turnaround times are 5-10 working days from receipt and we are able to provide an emergency 24-48 hour turnaround where possible.
We can also provide a pick-up service - either our driver or one of our approved carriers will collect your Angle Heads so they reach our UK facility securely and without delay.
Having supported high-demand production environments for decades, our Angle Head repair process is structured to minimise disruption through controlled turnaround times, specialist repair capability and full control from receipt through to dispatch.
Brands We Are Authorised to Repair
We are authorised to service and repair Angle Heads from all leading manufacturers, including:
Alberti | Benz | Big Daishowa | Bristol Tool | Gerardi | Heimatec | Madaula | MPA | OMG | Pibomulti | Su-Matic | Zettle Mimatic
All Angle Head repairs are carried out to the original manufacturer's specifications.
If your brand is not listed contact us or call us on 01225 892226 - our engineering capability is not limited by manufacturer.
Signs Your Angle Head Needs Repair
Performance issues rarely improve on their own
- Increased runout or loss of accuracy
- Deteriorating surface finish
- Noise, roughness or vibration during cutting
- Overheating in normal operation
- Oil leakage or seal failure
- Reduced torque or cutting performance
- Impact or crash damage
Early assessment is always more cost-effective than waiting for full failure. We provide a free quotation following assessment, before any work begins.
Angle Head Repair vs Replacement
DPGE Can Help Either Way
In the vast majority of cases, a specialist Angle Head Repair with upgraded components, where appropriate, is the right commercial decision.
It is rare that DPGE cannot repair an Angle Head and if yours is genuinely beyond economical repair, we will advise you accordingly following our assessment. And if an Angle Head replacement is the right answer, we can support that directly.
At DPGE, we design, manufacture and supply both standard and special application Angle Heads, giving us full control over specification, performance and lead time. This ensures any replacement unit is correctly matched to your application, operating conditions and performance expectations.
Angle Head Repairs - FAQ's
1. What makes DPGE different from other Angle Head repair services? We are the UK's authorised service centre for the leading manufacturers, which means repairs are carried out to a recognised manufacturer's specification or better. Beyond that, our engineering team designs and manufactures Angle Heads as well as repairing them - that level of technical knowledge directly improves the quality of our rebuild work.
2. How much does Angle Head repair cost? We provide a written quotation following assessment and strip-down - before any repair work begins. Cost varies depending on internal wear and parts required, but repair is almost always substantially less expensive than a new replacement unit.
3. Can you repair Angle Heads that are old or where parts are no longer available? Yes. Where OEM parts are unavailable due to obsolescence or supply constraints, we can manufacture replacement components in-house to the correct specification. This allows us to repair units that other workshops cannot.
4. What happens when you receive my angle head? On arrival, your unit is logged, assigned a serial number and fully stripped for inspection. We then assess all components against manufacturer tolerances and provide a detailed quotation before any work begins.
5. How do you ensure accuracy after repair? Every unit is rebuilt with precise control of bearing pre-load, gear backlash and alignment. Final calibration and testing are carried out to ensure the angle head meets original manufacturer specifications before dispatch.
6. How do I send my tools for repair? Simply contact us or download and fill out our repair form, which should be included with your shipment.
7. Will a repaired angle head perform like new? When rebuilt correctly, an angle head should return to its original performance levels. In many cases, we incorporate upgraded components which can improve durability and extend service life beyond the original build.
8. What industries do you support? We support a wide range of sectors including automotive, motorsport, Formula 1, aerospace and general precision engineering - anywhere that requires high-performance, reliable tooling.
9. Can you improve or upgrade my existing angle head? Yes. Where appropriate, we can upgrade bearings, seals and internal components to improve performance, reliability and longevity based on your application.
10. Do you keep records of previous repairs? Yes. Each unit is tracked using a serial number, allowing us to maintain a service history. This is particularly valuable for customers managing multiple angle heads across production.
11. Do you offer ongoing servicing or maintenance plans? Yes. We can support preventative maintenance schedules to help you manage servicing intervals, reduce unexpected failures and maintain consistent machining performance.
