Our speciality
CNC retrofit solutions that make old machines productive again
Obsolete controls, unavailable spares and drifting accuracy don't mean the machine is finished. We replace the electronics and keep the iron.
CNC retrofit in progress
CNC Retrofit Solutions →
When a retrofit makes sense
- The control or drive is obsolete and spares are no longer available.
- Repeated breakdowns and long downtime waiting for imported parts.
- Accuracy and surface finish have drifted beyond tolerance.
- Operators cannot get modern programs or DNC/USB transfer onto the machine.
- A new machine of the same capacity costs 4–6 times a retrofit.
The transformation
Same machine. New control. New life.
From obsolete push-button panels to modern touchscreen CNCs — see what a retrofit delivers.
Machines we retrofit
CNC turning centres
Lathes and turn-mill machines with new control, spindle and axis drives.
Vertical machining centres
VMC control retrofits including ATC, coolant and probing logic.
Grinding machines
Cylindrical and surface grinders with servo axes and dressing cycles.
Conventional to CNC
Lathes and milling machines converted to full CNC operation.
Special purpose machines
SPMs rebuilt around a PLC or CNC with new HMI and safety.
Press & hydraulic machines
Control, valve and sequence upgrades with modern safety circuits.
Our retrofit process
- 01
Machine audit
Geometry, ballscrew and guideway check, existing wiring and control survey.
- 02
Scheme & quote
Control/drive selection, scope, timeline and fixed-price proposal.
- 03
Stripping & mechanical
Old electricals removed; mechanical repairs and alignment as needed.
- 04
New panel & wiring
New CNC/PLC, servo drives, spindle drive, I/O and safety wired to standard.
- 05
Commissioning
Parameter setting, axis tuning, backlash and pitch error compensation.
- 06
Trials & handover
Test cutting, accuracy report, operator training and documentation.
Technology we work with
We select proven, current-generation platforms across the same technology categories used by global automation leaders.
CNC controls
Turning, milling and grinding CNC systems with conversational and ISO programming, tool management and probing cycles.
Motion control & servo drives
Digital servo amplifiers and motors sized for axes, spindles and auxiliary motion.
PLC & machine safety
Safety-rated PLCs, light curtains, interlocks and emergency-stop circuits to current norms.
Drives & motors
Spindle VFDs, soft starters and high-efficiency motors for auxiliaries and hydraulics.
HMI & visualization
Operator panels and plant SCADA with alarms, trends and production reporting.
Industrial connectivity
Industrial Ethernet, Profinet and Modbus networking with DNC, USB and remote diagnostics.
Multi-brand experience across Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Delta, Schneider and ABB-class drive and control platforms — we recommend what fits your machine, budget and local support.
What you gain
Lower capital cost
Typically a fraction of buying an equivalent new machine.
Spares availability
Current-generation controls and drives with local support.
Restored accuracy
Compensated axes and tuned servos bring parts back in tolerance.
Modern interface
USB/network program transfer, diagnostics and operator-friendly HMI.
