Small to Medium Machine Tool Retrofit
Heavy Engineering Retrofit

The mechanics of older machines may still be in good condition or may require re-conditioning. Often the control and electrical components become obsolete or unreliable and need replacement.

The degree of modernisation and the technology used to update the controls and motors, determines the price of CNC retrofit package. We will evaluate your machine and prepare a detailed offer on suitable CNC retrofit solution. You can choose from a variety of additional options and services such as training courses, service contracts and software functions.

Upgrading an NC machine to the latest CNC systems is the most common form of CNC retrofit. In this case we may supply a new Siemens SINUMERIK CNC system, SIMODRIVE AC servo drives, spindle drive and encoders. If required we provide a new electrical cabinet and machine wiring.
