Confidently making the most out of the machines you already have can save you time and money. Down East Fabrication faced a challenge with their old FANUC controller. Instead of replacing their entire CNC router, they chose to optimize it, achieving better results at only a fraction of the cost.
Upgrading allows you to keep the sturdy frame and mechanical parts of your machine while updating the electrical components. We replace your CNC machine’s controller, electrical panel, motors, servos, and wiring. You get all the new technology of a new machine without the pricetag.
Typically, most upgrades take just one week to complete, from the time we begin the retrofit to the machine being production-ready. We focus on minimizing downtime so that you can get back to production quickly with your newly upgraded machine.
