Repairs, servicing and calibration
Machine service benches cluster with the industrial estates noted above. Trade-class inverters from Australian-distributed brands (Cigweld, UNIMIG, Lincoln, Miller, WIA) have national service pathways; import-tier machines generally do not — factor that into purchase decisions in Rockhampton.
Typical turnaround for routine repairs (torch/liner/PCB) is 1–2 weeks through city service agents; calibration and workshop certification run longer.
