Reverse Engineering

Many maintenance projects start with a worn part, a shutdown risk, and no reliable drawing. BRUVAL can present a route from inspection and measurement to a manufacturable replacement.

Use case

A practical offer for maintenance teams

This service is intended for plants that need a replacement without a complete technical package. BRUVAL turns the available evidence into a controlled engineering and manufacturing process.

No drawing

The customer has a worn component, old machine, or supplier no longer available.

Unclear material

Material, hardness, and heat-treatment route need to be confirmed or replaced with an equivalent specification.

Urgent fit

The part must fit an existing assembly, shaft, bearing, rail, flange, or machine interface.

Better than before

The replacement can be improved with hard-facing, heat treatment, grinding, or inspection evidence.

Route

From worn part to controlled replacement

01

Receive evidence

Photos, rough dimensions, part weight, material clues, machine context, failure history, and available old drawings.

02

Measure and inspect

Critical interfaces, worn zones, hardness, geometry, and fit points are measured or confirmed before design work.

03

Rebuild the model

CAD, tolerance assumptions, material route, and manufacturing steps are defined around the actual part function.

04

Manufacture

Machining, welding, heat treatment, hard-facing, grinding, assembly, and coating are selected as required.

05

Verify

Dimensional checks, hardness readings, NDT, and final record pack close the loop for the replacement part.

Request data

Information required for a replacement assessment

  • Photos from all sides, including worn areas and mounting interfaces
  • Overall dimensions, approximate weight, and part quantity
  • Machine type, operating load, temperature, speed, pressure, or duty cycle
  • Known material grade, hardness, coating, or old certificate if available
  • Current failure mode: wear, cracking, deformation, corrosion, pitting, or fit loss
  • Critical delivery date, shutdown window, and inspection requirements

Reverse engineering request

Send part photos, rough dimensions, wear areas, and the operating problem.

BRUVAL can define the missing information, rebuild the drawing route, and identify whether manufacturing, repair, or reconditioning is the right next step.
