Mithril Solutions
Utah machine repair + retrofit

Old machines, obsolete controls, and VFD problems fixed without guesswork.

Mithril helps owner-operators, shops, farms, and small manufacturers keep existing equipment useful: old lathes, one-off machines, dead timer boxes, motor controls, failed sensors, VFD retrofits, wiring cleanup, and commissioning notes.

Good-fit problems

Old lathes + shop machines

Electrical and control-side help when legacy equipment has unreliable starts, dead switches, missing docs, or obsolete parts.

  • start/stop circuits
  • motor starters and contactors
  • wiring cleanup and safe handoff notes

VFD + motor control retrofit

Drive replacement, speed control upgrades, ramp tuning, control stations, and nameplate-based sizing review.

  • major VFD and motor-control platforms
  • single-machine speed control
  • parameter notes for future service

Obsolete controls

Replace hard-to-source controls with practical modern parts while keeping the machine purpose intact.

  • relays, timers, sensors
  • PLC/HMI where useful
  • documentation after cleanup

Sensors + stop circuits

Troubleshoot prox switches, photoeyes, limit switches, E-stops, interlocks, and unreliable inputs.

  • failure symptoms captured
  • I/O and wiring review
  • test procedure before handoff

Conveyors / augers / feeders

Controls help for small production and utility machines that move material.

  • jam and level sensing
  • feed-rate control
  • operator station cleanup

Commissioning + docs

Startup testing, punch-list closure, vendor coordination, and notes maintenance can use later.

  • photos and diagrams
  • settings logs
  • operator walkthrough
How first scope works

Send symptoms

Photos, nameplates, short video, wiring/control-box pictures, and what changed recently.

Triage path

Decide repair, retrofit, replacement, or deeper teardown before parts are ordered.

Fix + document

Make smallest reliable change, then leave settings, parts, and handoff notes.

Plain answer bank
Can you help with an old lathe?
Yes when the problem involves controls, motors, starters, switches, VFDs, wiring, sensors, stop circuits, or practical retrofit planning. Mechanical scraping, spindle rebuilds, or precision way work may require a specialist partner.
Do you do emergency industrial troubleshooting?
Mithril is not a 24/7 service company, but can triage urgent Utah machine downtime when schedule allows. The fastest fit is a defined machine with photos, model numbers, symptoms, and access to the panel or wiring.
What should I send before a machine repair call?
Send machine photos, control-panel photos, motor nameplate, drive model, symptoms, what changed recently, error codes, and whether the equipment is down.
Do you replace obsolete controls?
Yes. Mithril can map the old function, choose available replacement parts, wire and test the update, and leave notes so the next repair is easier.
