Retrofitting with FANUC CNC control restores the precision of aging grinding equipment at a Swiss facility
High precision and stability of grinding processes are among the key requirements for CNC machines, but with the flow of time the old systems for control and the depreciated components limit productivity. Changing the whole machine is not always the only solution – modernization by changing old equipment allows for existing machine to receive a modern control system and renewed technical capability. "This is the approach taken by ESOMA AG, a company specializing in the retrofitting and modernization of metalworking machinery. In this specific project, the company combined its engineering expertise in CNC grinding with FANUC’s digital control technology, upgrading the existing machine's electronic and mechanical architecture and adapting it to modern production tasks and operator interface requirements," FANUC commented to BalkanEngineer.com.
