Retrofitting a machine may be an excellent alternative to purchasing a new CNC machine. Suppose your company is working within budget limits where new machinery is not possible. In that case, you may want to consider the option to retrofit your pre-existing equipment to a more reliable and accurate control system.

AMS Automation's basic retrofit package involves pre-inspection of the machine tool structure to justify cost-effectiveness. When a machine meets our retrofit criteria and an order is issued, we replace electrical and control components and all associated components.

Retrofitting typically includes the following items:

  • New CNC control system
  • Replacement with A.C. servo drives and motors for all axes
  • Replacement of spindle drive unit (if required)
