Machine Installation in Waupun, WI
Rigging, precision setting, and removal of industrial machinery for Waupun manufacturers, from a family-owned crew based in Hartford.
Installation for manufacturers with long histories
Plants that have been running for decades tend to replace and upgrade equipment in careful steps. Machine installation from our crew supports that work with detailed planning, skilled rigging, and an accurate final setting.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company is family-owned and has been based in Hartford since 2003. We serve manufacturers across Southeastern Wisconsin, and our crew travels to Waupun with the rigging equipment the job needs.
A City Along the Rock River
Waupun lies in Dodge and Fond du Lac counties, along the Rock River near the Horicon Marsh. It was founded in 1839 and chartered as a city in 1878. A rivet manufacturer has been based in the city for more than 90 years, which is the kind of long-running operation where equipment is replaced in stages over the decades.
US 151 bypasses the city, and WIS 26, WIS 49, and WIS 68 run through it. Replacing machinery in a plant of long standing has its own demands. The new machine often has to fit a space shaped around its predecessor, with foundations, utilities, and aisles that already exist. We take careful measurements, compare them with the new machine's requirements, and plan any adjustments before the lift.
What’s Included
A Waupun installation project can include:
- Rigging and installation of replacement and new machinery
- Precision setting on existing or modified foundations
- Assembly and disassembly to fit existing doors and aisles
- Conveyor installations tied into current lines
- Robotic cell setup and integration
- Removal of the equipment being replaced
Our Approach
We begin by measuring what exists: the old machine's footprint, anchor points, and utility connections. Comparing those with the new machine's requirements shows what will fit and what will not.
If the foundation or connections need changes, our engineering team and welding crew can handle the details, and project management coordinates the steps.
The crew removes the old machine and sets the new one in a planned sequence, verifying the placement before handing the equipment back to your team.
