Our Comprehensive Retrofitting & Re-conditioning Process
Our approach is thorough and tailored to the specific needs of your machine and your operational goals.
1. Initial Assessment & Consultation
- We begin with a detailed inspection of your machine's current condition.
- Discussion of your production requirements, desired upgrades, and budget.
- Identification of mechanical, electrical, and control system components needing attention.
2. Mechanical Re-conditioning
- Disassembly and Inspection: Complete dismantling of the machine for thorough cleaning and inspection of all components.
- Wear Part Replacement: Replacement of worn-out bearings, gears, screws, guideways, and other critical mechanical components.
- Precision Grinding & Scraping: Restoration of machine geometry, alignment, and flatness for optimal accuracy.
- Lubrication System Overhaul: Repair or upgrade of lubrication systems to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear
- Structural Reinforcement (if needed): Addressing any frame or base integrity issues.
3. CNC Retrofitting & Control System Upgrade
- Removal of Obsolete Controls: Stripping out old, unreliable, or unsupported control systems.
- Installation of New CNC Controllers: Integration of state-of-the-art CNC controllers (e.g., Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, Mitsubishi, Fagor & etc., based on client preference and machine requirements).
- Servo Drive & Motor Replacement: Upgrade to modern, high-performance servo drives and motors for enhanced speed, accuracy, and energy efficiency.
- Wiring & Electrical Overhaul: Replacement of old wiring, sensors, limit switches, and electrical components. Design and installation of new control panels.
- HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Integration: Installation of user-friendly interfaces for easier operation and programming
- Custom Software Development (if required): Tailoring control software to specific application needs.
4. Testing & Calibration
- Rigorous Testing: Comprehensive functional testing of all mechanical and electrical systems
- Precision Calibration: Calibration of axes, spindle, and other critical components to ensure highest levels of accuracy and repeatability using advanced laser calibration equipment.
- Performance Benchmarking: Verification that the re-conditioned machine meets or exceeds original specifications and your new performance requirements.
5. Operator Training & Support
- We provide training for your operators and maintenance staff on the new control system and machine functionalities.
- Ongoing technical support to ensure a smooth transition and continued optimal performance
