All machines can be refurbished but you have to consider the cost of refurbishment against a new machine. High Accuracy, High Specification or Large Capacity Machines provide the best opportunities for significant cost savings when compared with buying new.

The cost of refurbishment depends largely on the scope of work required, coupled with the size & complexity of the machine (i.e. number of axes, auto tool loading, pallet loading, etc). However, 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.

The downtime for refurbishment & retrofit depends largely on the extent of refurbishment, coupled with the complexity & size of the machine, but, purely as an example, a full refurbishment/ retrofit on a CNC Vertical Borer, such as a Webster & Bennett, will take typically 20/22 weeks.

Increasingly, EES are being asked to re-engineer older, conventional, machines to convert them to CNC, thereby enhancing capabilities, accuracy and performance and further increasing machine utilisation. EES will be pleased to visit your works, view the machine in question and provide you with an informed assessment as to the suitability of your machine, for conversion to CNC, completely free of charge.
