Ever wondered what it takes to manufacture a pin at Geographe, especially our pins?

At our Bunbury facility in Western Australia, every pin starts its life as a certified steel bar. It's not just a piece of metal, it’s a material with a passport! Sizing and heat certificates are checked and confirmed before it even enters our stock.

From there, the transformation begins:

1. Faced & Centred: Our Okuma Australia + New Zealand MA-600HB prepares the raw bar for stability and accuracy in subsequent operations.

2. Precision Machined: Complex turning and profiling are performed on our 5-axis Okuma Multus U5000, supported by a robotic handling system for consistency and repeatability.

3. Induction Hardened and Tempered: Heat treatment followed by controlled quenching creates a wear-resistant outer surface while maintaining a tough supportive core. Tempering relieves induced internal stresses and optimises hardness.

4. Ground: The pin is ground to exact tolerances for dimensional accuracy and precise surface finish.

5. Surface Protected: A corrosion-inhibiting spray coating is applied to safeguard the component from rust during storage and transport.

6. Inspected & Certified: Final inspection takes place in our climate-controlled environment, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards. Certified components are then dispatched for use in equipment such as and excavators.

What does this mean for our mine site customers? A reliable, enhanced-performing part that resists seizure, saves on downtime, and upholds maintenance standards.

Not every bush grows in the ground, some are engineered at our Innovation Hub in Bunbury!

Let’s take you behind the scenes of how Geographe manufactures bushes, including our Enhanced Performance bushes for mining equipment:

1. Sourced & Certified: Raw materials arrive with full certification and are sized for subsequent operations.

2. Machined to Shape: Complex turning and profiling are performed on our 5-axis Okuma Australia + New Zealand Multus U5000, supported by a robotic handling system, delivering the perfect dimensions with repeatable precision.

3. Heat Treated – Inhouse options:
• Either in our automated inline fluid bed heat treatment plant (four furnace capacity, 4000L quench tank, temper ovens),
• Or in our autonomous Ipsen gas carburising plant, complete with controlled atmospheres and quench conditions, conveyors, washers, and tempering ovens.

✅Both ensure wear resistance and superior hardness to suit mining demands.

4. Ground & Protected: Ground to spec, sprayed to protect, and ready for action.

5. Final Quality Check: Inspected in a climate-controlled room to meet ISO 9001 standards.

At Geographe, we don’t just make parts. We engineer enhanced performing components that take your fleet the distance. View our full capabilities here: https://hubs.la/Q04by7dJ0

Great first day at the AMR safety summit. Stephanie Clarke, Lead occupational Therapist from Multi-Coached alongside Geographe Technical Sales Manager Hassan Qadri explored the growing challenge of musculoskeletal injuries in the mining industry in a 30 min stage discussion.

The session reinforced the critical role of safer work practices, training, and early intervention strategies as well as demonstrate how engineered solutions such as purpose built tooling, ergonomic equipment design, and lightweight components can significantly reduce physical strain on workers.

The award winning Ball Stud Removal Tool (BSRT) was being demonstrated virtually alongside a physical display of the Ball Stud Bearing Installation and Removal Tool, which was recently nominated as a finalist at the innovative mining category at the GRX awards.

We're looking forward to day 2 at the Perth convention centre!

When pins seize on haul trucks, the traditional fix often involves hot works, extra labour, and component damage. This leads to a costly chain reaction that impacts productivity and safety. Geographe’s Colleted Pin Assembly (CPA) helps break that cycle!

Unlike conventional designs that rely on friction or expansion, the CPA incorporates a tapered collet system that creates a self-wedging effect between the pin and frame bores, effectively eliminating pin seizures. This eliminates the need for thermal lancing and reduces the associated risks and expenses!

Where savings occur:
✅No thermal lancing, resulting in reduced labour hours and fewer hot works permits
✅No component damage, reducing replacement part costs
✅Faster changeouts, leading to less downtime and higher fleet availability
✅Less reactive maintenance, minimising delays and site disruptions

Tested across mine sites globally, the CPA delivers both safety benefits and a clear return on investment.

Routine maintenance is critical yet challenging in the rugged, high-demand environments where haul trucks operate. One of the most time-consuming and hazardous tasks has been removing seized ball studs from steering arms, traditionally relying on thermal lancing or hammering.

These methods expose teams to extreme heat, fire, fumes, noise, and ergonomic risks while increasing the chance of component damage and prolonged downtime.

The Ball Stud Removal Tool (BSRT) was engineered as a safer, more efficient solution. By mechanically removing seized ball studs, it eliminates hot works and reduces exposure to high-risk practices.

With the BSRT, maintenance teams can complete ball stud change-outs quickly, safely, and reliably, improving fleet uptime and supporting predictable maintenance schedules.

Available to suit Caterpillar 777, 785, 789, 793 haul trucks, the BSRT helps sites to:

✅ Minimise downtime associated with maintenance and repairs
✅ Enhance safety by reducing the need for thermal lancing, hammering, and grinding
✅ Cut labour costs by preventing prolonged fleet downtime
✅ Provide secure, slip-free usage with a two-part split retainer system
