Automotive Industry Retrofitting Why not avoid the capital-intensive expense of major new equipment when a cost-effective retrofit will breathe new life into existing equipment. Many older machines are fundamentally sound in performing their functions, but don’t take advantage of recent advances in control technology and in electric drives, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Both automakers and Tier 1 suppliers have experienced big gains in productivity, reliability, and uptime through retrofits of motors, drives, and electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic controls. Low cost A retrofit can cost only a few percent of a new machine, representing significant savings in both money and time, but offer all the benefits. go top ↑ Fast installation A retrofit can often be done in a day or less, with fast installation and startup and minimum disruption to production. You’ll get into production faster—with less downtime and more uptime. go top ↑ Increased capabilities Retrofits can benefit numerous areas of machine operation: Higher precision and repeatability Faster cycle times Higher reliability Improved diagnostics Easier programming Quicker changeovers go top ↑ Reduced engineering time With the application expertise of Rexroth engineers and value-added distributors, you get a turnkey solution from needs assessment to startup. We can evaluate your current set, recommend the best retrofit, and install it. go top ↑
