Reuse - retrofit of the controls system

While the mechanical components of machine tools often function reliably for decades, there is a need for action in control and drive technology. The further development and the associated discontinuation of components make the supply of spare parts difficult in many cases. In addition, older control components often do not meet the current IT security requirements.

Furthermore, today it is crucial for long-term business success to lay the foundations for digital transformation in good time. GSN stands for standardized upgrade solutions and enables a smooth, future-proof and efficient change to the latest machine control technology.

• Increase in productivity (old controls are often prone to failure)
• Increase in process reliability
• Problematic spare parts availability
• Up-to-date IT security
• Significantly shorter delivery times compared to new purchases
• Safe machine in terms of the Machinery Directive (Level 3-6)
• Resource and CO2 savings
• For GSN, sustainability does not only mean the responsible use of raw materials and increased energy efficiency, it also means redeployment, the re-use of what has been tried and tested.
  ⇒ Raw material and CO2 savings, as up to 90% of the material mass is retained.

We carry out a professional reuse (electrical retrofit) in combination with a mechanical retrofit to give your machines a second life.

• Integration of remote maintenance
• Energy saving measures through e.g. use of frequency-controlled pumps
• Conversion of cooling lubricant to minimum quantity lubrication (MQL)

• All makes and manufacturers with Siemens control
• Individual machines to production lines
• Flexible and agile manufacturing systems
• Machining centers
• Special machines such as transfer lines or rotary transfer machines

We would be happy to work out an individual and cost-efficient solution with you in order to ensure fail-safe production through targeted modernization.
