Riten Industries

As a domestic manufacturer of live centers, dead centers, and face drivers in the workholding industry, Riten Industries has expanded its repair and trade-in exchange service programs. Exclusive to the North American market for complete restoration, these programs deliver fast, economical solutions to extending end-users’ investment beyond the normal life of average centers to achieve maximum uptime.

Riten can repair/restore to like-new condition their standard centers and face drivers, as well as industry competitor’s products for a fraction of the cost of new tools. If repair isn’t possible, trade-in is available for Riten live centers and face drivers. With competitors’ products, trade-in savings are estimated on a case-by-case basis.

All Riten products are made in a 35,000ft2 facility in Central Ohio, with thousands in stock and built to order. The engineering team has extensive knowledge in the sciences of rotational dynamics, metallurgy, mechanurgy, and lubrication technology. Its repair/trade-in department has specific manufacturing cells set up with dedicated equipment with a staff of engineers devoted to repairing all makes of centers for industry-specific applications.

Each Riten product repair category undergoes a five-step remanufacturing process: receipt, inspection, quotation, repair, testing & certification. This delivers peak-efficiency center reconditioning, rebuilt centers are restored to original accuracy and receive the same factory warranty as a new center.

When a Riten standard live center is returned, the unit is rebuilt to like-new condition at 40% of the cost of a new center, including new spindle, front and rear bearings, grease seal, and lubricant. All rebuilt centers are restored to original accuracy/concentricity standards and receive the same factory warranty as a new center.

Riten also repairs any dead center, regardless of the original manufacturer. Point angle and taper are restored to original factory specification. Un-repairable tools are identified, and replacement centers are quoted for convenience.

For face driver repair, all wear items are replaced, and the tool is re-worked to meet original concentricity specifications. Other required work is performed to return the tool to original accuracy and like-new condition.
