There are several reasons why a company may choose CNC retrofitting instead of buying a new machine: 1. Cost-effective: Retrofitting usually costs less than buying a new machine, especially if the existing machine is in good condition and only needs upgrading of its control system. 2. Customization: Retrofitting allows customization according to the specific needs of the user, which may be difficult with new machines that come with fixed specifications. 3. Familiarity: Operators are already familiar with the existing machines and retrofitting allows them to continue using the same processes and procedures without having to retrain on a new machine. 4. Longer machine lifespan: Retrofitting can extend the lifespan of an old machine by upgrading its control system, making it more reliable, efficient and productive. Overall, CNC retrofitting can be a cost-effective way to upgrade an existing machine and improve its performance, making it a more attractive option for companies with existing machines in good condition. |
