Machine Retrofit & Control Modernization

Control system retrofit and machine modernization for equipment that is mechanically sound but running on obsolete controls. The machine stays, and only what has actually reached the end of its support gets replaced.

WHAT WE DO

A machine retrofit starts with a decision rather than a proposal: is this an obsolete PLC with no spares left, or a machine that has outgrown what its controls can do? Both are scoped against the cost of continuing to repair what is already there.

PLC retrofit and PLC migration work covers PLC 5 to controllogix conversion, general PLC upgrade projects, and relay logic to PLC conversion for panels that have run on relays for decades. CNC retrofit follows the same approach on machine tools, including bridgeport CNC retrofit, fanuc retrofit, press brake retrofit, and swaps to modern controls on Anilam, Acu-Rite, and Heidenhain machines. Work is staged around your production schedule, with cutover planned into a shutdown window wherever possible. Legacy machine upgrade and control system retrofit projects are delivered with new drawings, commented logic, and operator training, so the next person who opens the panel is not starting from zero.
