Why Re-Scrape Machine Ways?
Over time, wear and contamination reduce the effectiveness of machine way surfaces. Our scraping process offers a reliable solution that:
Restores Flatness, Parallelism & Squareness
Scraping ensures precise geometric alignment and distributes bearing contact evenly across surfaces.Improves Lubrication & Reduces Wear
The hand-flaked oil pockets help retain lubricant, improving stick-slip performance and preventing premature wear.Enhances Machine Accuracy & Repeatability
Restored way surfaces support consistent machining results and improve tool life.
Scraping Cast Iron & Turcite B Slydway
IMS Inc. provides scraping and flaking services for two primary bearing surface materials:
Cast Iron
Ideal for long-term dimensional stability, even under extreme temperature variations. We recondition cast iron way surfaces with high accuracy.Turcite B
A high-performance polymer used in CNC machines for its low friction and wear resistance. Replacing and scraping Turcite® B significantly improves accuracy and mechanical efficiency.
Benefits of Turcite® B include:
Extended machine lifespan
Improved energy efficiency
Reduced friction & stick-slip issues
Protection against lubrication failures
Custom Solutions for Every Machine
We understand that no two machines—or shop schedules—are alike. That’s why we work with you to design a scraping and rebuilding plan that restores performance without disrupting your operations.
