Maintenance
An MTI friction welder is built to last. But just like humans, machines need routine checkups to ensure everything is working as it should. The MTI Machine Performance Package delivers peace of mind that your friction welder is operating exactly the way our engineers designed it. Our short, one-day visits guarantee minimal interruptions to your production process. Read our brochure to see the highlights and advantages of the Machine Performance Package: Click here to view.
If your company would prefer more regular visits from our trained technicians, consider our preventative maintenance packages that deliver total peace of mind.
MTI currently offer three levels of preventative maintenance packages. These packages range from a once a year full service visit to a four times a year full TPM package, each one can be individually tailored to suit your needs and requirements. Our packages have shown that production down time is reduced and potential serious machine damage averted with regular monitoring by our highly skilled service technicians.
These maintenance packages can be scheduled in advance so disruption to production is minimised. Packages can also be combined with onsite training to make a complete service and training solution tailor made for your company.
Service technicians working from service locations in USA, UK, India, and China are also easily accessible throughout the time zones.
