Almost all older NC/CNC machines can benefit from a CNC Retrofit, particularly where they already have independent axis drives. Furthermore, many older, manually operated, machines can also be converted to CNC.

EES has over 30 years’ experience in retrofitting Siemens, Fanuc, Heidenhain, Bosch, Rexroth & Fagor controls. With the knowledge we have accrued over that time EES is ideally placed to recommend a particular control solution that can be tailored to your specific requirements.

The cost of a CNC retrofit can vary significantly from a basic CNC replacement to a full blown CNC & Electrical upgrade; the size and complexity of a machine (i.e. number of axes, auto tool loading, pallet loading, etc.) also reflects in the retrofit price. EES will be pleased to visit your works, view the machine in question, discuss your requirements & expectations, and provide you with a detailed quotation, completely free of charge.

Again the scope of supply (i.e. CNC replacement or full blown electrical retrofit) and the complexity of the machine, determines the length of time required to retrofit the machine. To minimise machine downtime, EES carries out pre-installation testing of all CNC Retrofit packages, prior to delivery to the client’s works.
