Machine upgrades & retrofit engineering
MachSoft supports the modernization of existing machines and transfer systems through control-software updates, motion-control integration and project-specific electrical or mechanical modifications. The scope is defined around the installed equipment, required movements and practical operating constraints.
This machine retrofit brought together mechanical modifications, control-system updates, drive hardware and the operator HMI. The work addressed mechanical and automation changes as parts of one coordinated machine upgrade.
Views of the operator HMI, control cabinet and drive section illustrate how mechanical, electrical and automation work come together in a machine retrofit.
The TIA Portal workspace illustrates HMI design and configuration as part of a machine-control upgrade.
Review or update control sequences, operator screens and diagnostics according to the existing machine and agreed requirements.
Integrate or adapt drive and motion functions to meet the machine's specified movement requirements.
Revise control components and electrical interfaces, coordinating mechanical changes where they are part of the agreed scope.
Check modified functions and interfaces, support commissioning, and document the changes included in the project.
The exact scope and sequence depend on the machine, available documentation and production constraints.
Selected examples of control-panel retrofit and mechanical modification work.
