FOR FDMC READERS
CNC control retrofits for woodworking manufacturers running older routers and automated equipment. If the machine is still solid, we help you keep it in production instead of replacing it.
BUILT FOR PRODUCTION WOODWORKING
A lot of woodworking shops are running CNC routers and automated equipment with plenty of mechanical life left. The real problem is usually the aging control, obsolete electronics, and the risk of unplanned downtime, not the machine itself.
RETROFIT VS. REPLACE
Replace the machine
Retrofit the control
