Support and solutions to retrofit CNC machines with Fanuc controls, and enhance the productivity of your CNC machining operations. Add the reliability and productivity of modern FANUC CNC controls to existing machines at a lower cost than buying new.
Assuming the machine tool is generally in good shape mechanically, CNC retrofitting is typically the lowest cost solution to improve the overall performance of an older machine tool. Most of the work can be completed at the machine site, avoiding costly machine rigging and transportation costs, and minimizing the downtime of your machine.
A retrofit will cost just a fraction of the total of purchasing a new machine. The lifetime estimate includes not only the difference in purchase price for a new machine, but also the additional costs of any new tooling requirements, transportation and rigging, modifications or replacement of part programs and processes, and the associated training for the operators and maintenance personnel. When savings are taken into account, versus leaving the equipment as is and accepting the current availability and performance of an outdated machine tool, a CNC retrofit can quickly pay for itself. The updated machine can perform with better quality, better efficiency, and better uptime.
