Modernization of machines

Modernized like new

Customers who trust us

We carry out modernization and overhaul of heavy machine tools, mainly vertical lathes, but also rotary tables, both rotary and positioning as accessories for gantry milling machines and horizontal boring machines.

We reduce the environmental burden as well as the financial costs associated with the acquisition of a new machine.

By using original honest castings, we guarantee the rigidity and shape stability of the basic machine structure.

After the modernization carried out by us, the machines achieve the accuracy of the new machines.

We offer a wide range of machine accessories.

We always fully respect the requirements and wishes of our customers.

With our comprehensive upgrade services, we breathe new life into your high-performance machines.

Our team of experienced engineers will carefully assess your machines and design a bespoke upgrade plan to increase their performance, reliability and safety. From control system upgrades to machine group upgrades and retrofits with the latest technology, we ensure your machines are fully functional and compliant with modern industry standards.

Modernization of vertical lathes, rotary tables and other machines

Modernization includes mechanical, hydraulic and electrical parts of the machine.

Why is a modernization better than a new machine?

1.

Financial Aspects: Modernization as an Economic Option

For heavy machine tools, upgrading existing equipment often brings significant savings over buying a completely new machine. Investing in new technology can be costly and may not always be the best option, especially if existing equipment still meets your business requirements. Modernization allows you to update and improve existing systems without undue financial burden.

2.

Fast implementation: Modernization as the key to immediate improvement

Time is a key factor in the world of business. Modernization allows you to quickly and efficiently improve the performance and functions of existing equipment without waiting for delivery and installation of a new machine. This can be key if speed of implementation is essential for your business.

3.

Sustainability and environmental considerations: Modernization as an ecological choice

At a time of increasing emphasis on sustainability, modernization is favorable in terms of environmental impacts:

  • No need to produce new heavy castings, the production of which is energy-intensive
  • Electricity will be saved after modernization
  • Modernized machine is mostly built on the existing foundation
  • By using existing infrastructure and minimising waste, you contribute to the protection of the environment.
4.

Maintaining know-how and expertise: Modernization as workforce support

Modernization makes it possible to maintain and expand the expertise and skills of workers who are familiar with existing equipment. This reduces the cost of training new personnel and ensures continuity of the work process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why modernize a heavy machine tool?

Modernization will increase productivity, improve accuracy and enable the use of modern technologies, which ultimately increases competitiveness and reduces operating costs.

What are the main advantages of modernization?
  • Increases the efficiency and accuracy of machining operations;
  • Extends the life of the machine;
  • It allows the integration of new technologies such as CNC systems or monitoring systems.
What is the budget for modernization?

The cost of modernization is significantly lower than for the acquisition of a new machine. It varies depending on the specific requirements and scope of work. The important thing is to include the cost of new technology, labor, training and any downtime in production.

What type of upgrade is best for my machine?

We always prepare tailor-made solutions according to customer requirements. The scope of modernization depends on the existing shortcomings of your machine. Modernization will solve the most common problems. This may include overhauling the mechanical part of the machine, increasing the existing accuracy, replacing the control system, adding or upgrading the equipment of the machine, or modifying its components.

What is the timeframe for modernization?

Again, it depends on the scope of work. Smaller upgrades can be completed in a matter of weeks, while larger projects can take several months. For heavy machine tools, such as vertical lathes, modernization is usually a faster option than buying a new machine, where delivery can take 1.5-2 years.

Who will do the modernization?

Preferably us! Our company specializes in the modernization of machine tools. We are able to carry out a complete modernization of everything from mechanics to hydraulics to a new CNC system. Complete!

What will be the impact of modernization on the production process?

Modernization should improve production processes, reduce downtime, and increase machine performance, accuracy, speed and reliability.

Will additional training be needed to operate the new equipment?

Yes, it will probably be necessary to provide training for operators and maintenance workers to become familiar with new equipment and technologies.
