Arrange Support for Your Machine or Process
When production is under pressure, the fastest route is to book support with clear details about the machine, the fault, and where the equipment is running. Whether you need a planned service, a coolant system check, an alignment inspection or help after a stoppage, our team uses the information you send through the enquiry form to plan the next step.
Deephole works with manufacturers and engineering shops in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, Gqeberha and throughout Gauteng. If the machine is still running but not holding tolerance, or if it has stopped completely, it helps to note what changed, when the issue started and whether any recent tooling or setup changes were made.
What to Include in Your Enquiry
A good service request saves time and helps us send the right person with the right tooling. If you are not sure how to describe the fault, give a short plain summary and we will take it from there.
- Machine type and general application
- What is happening now, such as noise, vibration, poor finish or stoppage
- When the issue started and whether it is constant or intermittent
- Any recent changes to tooling, coolant, setup or operators
- Your location, access requirements and preferred timing
If you are in a busy production environment, mention shift times and any restrictions on access. That is especially useful in plants with limited lift access, tight loading bays or controlled entry procedures.
Planned Maintenance and Inspections
Routine maintenance is a practical way to protect machine accuracy and avoid unplanned downtime. Deephole can assist with scheduled checks that focus on the items most likely to affect boring and drilling performance, especially where the machine works long hours or in demanding material conditions.
Our support team can help with preventive maintenance, alignment checks, coolant system service and setup optimisation. In coastal areas, humidity and corrosion can be a concern, while inland sites often deal with dust, warm shop temperatures and load-shedding interruptions. A planned visit helps you catch small issues before they turn into production delays.
- Inspect wear points and key machine settings
- Check coolant flow, cleanliness and basic system condition
- Review alignment and setup stability
- Look for signs of recurring process drift
Breakdown Support and Troubleshooting
If a machine has stopped mid-job or the bore quality has changed without warning, our service process starts with a clear fault review. Johan Smit can help with applications-related checks, while Francois du Plessis handles machine-side support and fault finding. The aim is to identify whether the issue is linked to tooling, setup, alignment, coolant delivery or operator procedure.
For some sites, the quickest fix is a targeted adjustment. In other cases, the machine may need a more detailed inspection before production can restart safely. We do not push unnecessary work. We focus on the cause, the practical remedy and what needs to be done to prevent the same fault returning.
Tooling Selection and Setup Optimisation
Good support is not only about repairs. It is also about making sure the machine is set up correctly for the job at hand. Sibusiso Khumalo assists with tooling support, while Ayanda Mokoena can guide general sales and service coordination when a job needs parts or a new setup plan.
If your operation is working with difficult materials, repeat jobs or changing bore requirements, setup support can help reduce scrap and improve consistency. We can assist with tooling selection, production startup and process troubleshooting so your operators have a clearer method to follow. That is often where a small adjustment saves a full shift of lost output.
Training, Start-Up and Ongoing Support
Some service calls need more than a repair. They need operator guidance, a better setup routine or a refresher for the team on how the process should run. Leanne Naidoo leads training support so operators understand the steps that matter most during setup, operation and routine checks.
We also support production startup after installation or after a major service. That includes practical handover, basic process guidance and enough follow-up to make sure the equipment is running as expected. Noluthando Dlamini coordinates service bookings, spare parts support and timing, which helps keep the job moving without unnecessary delay.
- Operator training for practical day-to-day use
- Production startup support after service or installation
- Spare parts and consumable support where needed
- Clear coordination for planned visits and follow-up work
