Repair and rebuild
Since January 2019, significant investments in equipment (washing machine, shot blasting, painting cabin, roller heating, hydraulic presses up to 250T, vacuum test bench, overhead cranes up to 20T…) have been made. Thanks to an extension of 1000m² dedicated exclusively to maintenance, we can now take your gearboxes in charge in our facilities.
Upon receipt of your equipment, an expertise will systematically be carried out. A complete report will be made followed by a detailed price quotation including:
- cleaning, opening the gear unit, analysing possible failures,
- detailed examination of all parts,
- non-destructive testing of teeth (magnetic particle inspection)
- three-dimensional control of your housings and mobiles
- the replacement of defective mobiles or parts
- the systematic replacement of bearings and sealing rings,
- the reassembly and adjustment of the clearances
- the tests of the gearboxes on a test bench without load.

Gear reverse engineering: a tailor-made solution to extend the life of your industrial equipment
When a gear breaks, wears out, or no longer meets your production requirements, you have two options: replace the entire system or repair it intelligently. At CORDM, we choose technical intelligence. With our expertise in gear reverse engineering, we help you restore your mechanical components with precision, responsiveness, and reliability.
Reverse engineering for gears involves rebuilding a gear or pinion from an existing part, even without the original drawings. This method is particularly effective when the equipment is old or when the original manufacturer is no longer available. Using advanced 3D scanning and analysis tools, we reproduce the exact geometry of the gear to be repaired while offering potential improvements. This is what we call gear optimization: adapting the part to the real operating conditions, with higher-performance materials or more durable heat treatments.
Gear repair is not a simple copy-and-paste process. It relies on deep technical expertise combined with a global understanding of the transmission system. We start by dismantling the component, inspecting wear zones, and identifying the root cause of the failure. This diagnostic phase allows us to propose the right solution, whether it’s a complete gear overhaul, damaged pinion repair, or identical gear remanufacturing.
This know-how is essential to prevent production downtime. A gear failure can halt an entire line, causing major losses. By intervening quickly and efficiently, we reduce downtime and extend the lifespan of your installations. Gear repair also generates significant cost savings, by preserving sound components and replacing only critical parts.
At CORDM, every project is unique. We adapt to your requirements, whether you need single-piece production or small or large series, spur gears, bevel gears, helical gears, or custom gear solutions. Our engineering department supports you every step of the way, from diagnosis and 3D modeling to refabrication and commissioning, with a constant commitment to quality and precision.Choosing reverse engineering for gear repair means opting for a sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable approach. It also means partnering with a trusted expert capable of working on all types of mechanical transmission components with high precision. Whether you need pinion repair or complete gear optimization, CORDM puts its technical expertise at your service.
