Retrofitting of Heavy-Duty Machines

The specialists of WEMA VOGTLAND Technology GmbH draw on their extensive knowledge and experience also for retrofitting heavy-duty machines. The larger the machine, the more economical is a modernisation in comparison to an investment in new machinery.

When buying a new heavy-duty machine, not only the machine price but also the considerable cost for the foundation must be taken into account. With a retrofit instead the customer gets for comparably low cost a technically up-to-date, as-new machine which fits perfectly in his existing layout. In addition, the scope of modifications offered by us includes an extension of the base for more X axis travel.

Thus WEMA VOGTLAND provides a full range of services independently of the machine make and type:

• Replacement of wear components such as bearings, rails, scrapers …
• Overhauling of peripheral equipment like coolant system, chip conveyor, guardings …
• Overhauling of transmission motors, pumps, lubrication, hydrostatics …
• Controls retrofit including new drives, control cabinet, control system …
• Relocation including replacement of fixing elements
• Extension of the base or column
• Advice on the construction of foundations
• Service & maintenance offers
• Retrofitting of sensors for industry 4.0 readiness with Retrofit Package RP 4.0
