A Tonic to Your Valuable Machines

Modernising your machine tools by CNC Retrofit is an economical way to upgrade your plant. CNC Retrofit is particularly important for medium to large machines of high value.

 
Machine Tools Retrofit
CNC Design has retrofitted hundreds of small, medium sized and large machine tools in Australia and the South East Asia region.

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. We will evaluate your machine and prepare a detailed offer. 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.

Facts on CNC Retrofit:
