Can you copy a part without a drawing?
Usually, yes. Bring the broken part, or what’s left of it, and we’ll measure it and tell you whether repair or a new part is the faster path.
Our Garland shop sits less than a mile from the Dallas city line. When a Northeast Dallas plant has a broken part and no time, we’re one of the nearest shops that can repair it, reverse engineer it, or machine a new one.
2921 National Ct is just off Kingsley Road near the LBJ Freeway (I-635), on the Garland side of the Dallas line. The usual route to Lake Highlands runs west on Kingsley Road, along the I-635 frontage road and down Church Road, about 4 miles and around 10 minutes when traffic is light. For a plant anywhere along the I-635 corridor in Northeast Dallas, that’s a short drive to drop off a failed part, or for us to come see a problem on your floor.
A lot of the parts that stop a line are old enough that nobody has a print, or the original maker is gone or months out. We measure the worn or broken part, work out what it should have been, and either repair it or make a new one.
Once a replacement is proven, we keep the drawing and program on file. If the same part fails again, the second one goes faster than the first.
A shaft, gear, bracket or housing broken with the line down. We repair, rebuild or recreate it from the part in hand.
3- and 4-axis mills, live-tool lathes and manual machines, so a one-off replacement doesn’t wait behind a production schedule.
Cracked frames, bent guards and worn mounts welded back to service, or rebuilt new in MIG, TIG or laser welding.
Northeast Dallas facilities also send us waterjet cutting and forming, OEM replacement parts, and prototype and production machining. For the wider metro, see our Dallas page.
Usually, yes. Bring the broken part, or what’s left of it, and we’ll measure it and tell you whether repair or a new part is the faster path.
Yes. Call (214) 227-5633 before you head over so someone is ready for it. From most of Northeast Dallas it’s a short trip up I-635.
No. Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation doesn’t hold ISO, AS9100, or other quality-system certifications. If a part needs a certified process or documented traceability, tell us up front and we’ll say honestly whether we’re the right shop.
Call us or send a photo of the broken part. We’ll tell you what it takes to get running again.
