TAKE YOUR MARKS FOR THE FUTURE

Keep up with the increasing requirements on the productivity of

the machines in the production facility and keep the required
flexibility for the future, is a crucial issue machine tool machine
operators.

Generally, the mechanical systems “older generation” are still in

a good condition, however, the electronical and electrical are
generally not in line with the latest technical standards. As the
electrical equipment becomes older, productivity decreases,
influenced by factors such as performance, functionality,
reliability, service cost, spare part supply etc.

In order to keep increase the productivity of the exisiting machines,

Siemens is offering the program “Fit for the Future”.

The fitness program for your machine

In practice, this means:

Replacing the old machine control with the latest generation of

CNC undepending from previous used control system, drives
and motors.

Depending on the particular application and task, various

SINUMERIK controls can be used.

The product range includes high performance SINUMERIK

840D/Di and 810D, as well the eco package 802S/C/D, combined
with the SIMODRIVE family for the modernization processes.

Retrofit, benefits and advantages

Depending on the equipment and the degree of retrofit,

the following advantages can be obtained:

- Productivity increase
- More user-friendly operator control and programming
- Faster machining cycles
- Ability to machine more complex parts
- Higher accuracy
- High memory capacity
- Reduced machine downtime
- Reliable spare parts supply over a long period
- Reliable and safe data transmission
- Networking possibilities
- Repair Service Contract included in the retrofit package

Machine functionality is achieved according to the EC

Machinery Directives

Retrofit, cost factor

The cost are defined by the scope of the retrofit and the technology
used in the future, e.g. which control system, motors, software, etc.

A detailed quotation is made after in-depth evaluation of the present

system.

As a rough guideline, depending on the scope, a retrofit should not

exceed approximately 1/3 of the capital investment cost from a new
machine.

Retrofit, time factor

The retrofit time depends completely on the scope of the

retrofit work and can take several days up to several weeks.

Based on experience it is possible to forecast for a basic

machine a time around 2 weeks and for a complex machine
around 8 weeks as a rough estimation.

A time optimization is achievable, if the electrical drawing

software and cabinet preparation can be done in advanced.

Retrofitting WMW-Niles lathe machine with ShopTurn application

Investing in to the future and creating economic advantages is

shown in the following example.

In this retrofit, all electrical and electronical components were

replaced, starting with the wiring, measuring system, control cabinet
up to control panel.

For this retrofit, SINUMERIK 840D with the SIMODRIVE 611D was
chosen as state of the art CNC control system.

Retrofitting is a question of experience

Necessary criteria for a retrofit case evaluation:

Does the machine operates in each axis by his own motor?

 Machine manufacturer and machine nr.:

 Machine type: (Lathe, Milling, Grinding, etc…)
 Number of axis:
 Number of Spindle:
 Axis/Spindle motor data: (kW, Ampere)
 Spindle gear box?
 Axis measuring system?
 Accessories: (Tool Changer, Rotary Table, Palet Changer, etc.)
 Type of the accessories:
 Special functions:
 Hidrolic/Electrical documents?
 Mechanical retrofit needed?

RIGHT DECISION,
FOR A PROFITIBLE INVESTMENT

What are the advantages of a complete retrofit compared

to a new investment?

 Cost saving of up to approx.. 70% compared to a corresponding

new investment.

 Short delivery and retrofit time, compared to a new investment.

 Special end customer requirements can be considered
 Existing facility and tools can be still used.
 Amortization mostly less than in a year. feasibility
