Our upgrade services provide a pathway to increased productivity, allowing you to integrate the latest technology into your proven machine frames without the prohibitive costs of a new purchase.
Preserving High-Mass Stability with Modern Drive Tech
The structural cast iron of a classic machine tool is often far superior to modern lightweight weldments. We strip these legacy machines down to the bare castings, hand-scrape the ways, and replace every electrical and mechanical subsystem.
Way Relining & Scrapes: Re-machining slides, applying low-friction Turcite liners, and hand-scraping alignments to restore OEM geometric tolerances.
Full Electrical Re-Cabling: Designing, building, and installing completely new control cabinets with modern safety relays and high-flex cable chains.
Hydraulic & Lube Modernisation: Upgrading to high-efficiency, monitored lubrication networks and high-pressure variable displacement hydraulics.
Replace Restrictive Legacy Interfaces with Modern Control Systems
Replace restrictive, outdated interfaces with high-speed, modern control systems that offer superior processing power and an enhanced user experience.
Platform Migration: Seamlessly transition your machines to the latest Fanuc, Siemens, or Heidenhain control architectures.
High-Speed Processing: Dramatic improvements in block processing speeds, essential for the complex, multi-axis geometries found in aerospace components.
Industry 4.0 & Data Connectivity: Enable remote monitoring, digital twin compatibility, and real-time data harvesting to integrate your workshop into the modern digital supply chain.
Better-Than-Factory Calibration & Positioning
Eliminate the drift associated with ageing machinery. We use advanced electronic and mechanical calibration to return your equipment to original, or better-than-factory, tolerances.
Electronic pitch error and backlash compensation to eliminate positioning errors across the entire work envelope.
Upgrading standard components to high-precision ballscrews and absolute linear scales for improved thermal stability.
Fine-tuning drive parameters and axis damping to eliminate chatter and achieve the mirror-like surface finishes required by Tier-1 clients.
Our engineers are standing by to discuss your next project, routine service, or complex relocation. Let's ensure your assets are performing at their peak.
