Industrial Machinery for Australian Workshops
AIMS Industrial supplies workshop machinery for engineering shops, fabrication facilities, maintenance workshops, and industrial operations across Australia. The machinery range covers the core machine tools and production equipment used in metal working, surface finishing, and general engineering — from bench drill presses through to lathe and milling equipment, linishing machines, and the supporting motor and drive systems that power industrial machinery. AIMS is an Australian business supplying industrial machinery and related equipment since 1988.
Machine Tools
Machine tools — lathes, mills, and drill presses — form the backbone of any engineering or toolroom workshop. A centre lathe allows turning, facing, boring, and threading operations on cylindrical components. Milling machines produce flat surfaces, slots, keyways, and complex profiles by moving the workpiece against a rotating cutter. Bench and pedestal drill presses provide the controlled, repeatable drilling action needed for precise hole positioning in metalwork and fabrication. Selecting machine tools for a workshop requires matching the machine's swing, travel, spindle speed range, and power to the materials and component sizes that will be machined — undersized machines limit capability while oversized machines waste floor space and capital.
Surface Finishing Machinery
Linishall belt linishing machines provide the surface finishing capability for weld grinding, deburring, and producing consistent surface finishes on fabricated components. A linisher is an essential machine in any fabrication or metalworking workshop where finished surface quality on welded assemblies, structural components, or machined parts needs to be controlled. Angle grinders can be used for rough weld grinding, but a linisher provides the consistent, controlled finish that angle grinder work cannot replicate reliably for production or quality-critical applications.
Electric Motors and Drive Systems
Industrial machinery is powered by electric motors — and maintaining the motors that drive production equipment is a key element of any preventive maintenance program. TechTop electric motors are stocked by AIMS for motor replacement across the range of frame sizes and power outputs commonly used in workshop and industrial machinery. When a motor fails on a machine tool, compressor, pump, or fan, a correctly matched replacement motor from stock minimises downtime. TechTop motors are available in B3 foot-mount and flange configurations with IEC standard frame sizes to match OEM motor specifications.
Supporting Your Machinery Investment
Workshop machinery is a significant capital investment. Supporting it with quality consumables — cutting tools, abrasive belts, lubricants, and drive belts — and reliable replacement components extends machine service life and maintains production capability. AIMS Industrial provides the full range of consumable and maintenance supplies for workshop machinery alongside the machines themselves. For machinery enquiries, technical specifications, or help selecting the right machine for your workshop requirements, contact our team at AIMS Industrial.
