Retrofit
- Retrofit
"Something new from something old" - a wish that we have made come true. Our robust and practical honing machines have been in use for more than 30 years and still produce proven quality.
Older machines can usually be economically refitted for new tasks. An upgrade of the control system and updating key assembly components to the latest state-of-the-art technology is a matter of course at Gehring.
The reasons to go for a retrofit or a modernization can be manyfold. For example:
- a new workpiece is to be machined
- the productivity and quality of the existing machine is to be improved.
- the safety measures onf the machine no longer comply with today's standards
- individual components or assemblies are no longer available
- production volume is too low for a new machine purchase to be profitable
- reduce set up times
- Before retrofit and modernization
- After retrofit and modernization
The effort and investment can be tailored exactly to your requirements as for modernizations, a modular system is available. The most important subassemblies which can be upgraded are:
- the loading and unloading
- the transfer
- the PLC controller
- the honing control
- fixtures
- component-touching parts
- spindle and stroke units
- automatic tool changer
- automatic gauging device changer
- marking and signing equipment
- additional pre-checking stations
- additional machining stations
