Retrofitting for Process Improvements

GE Fanuc’s retrofitting services go beyond mere replacement of controls and upgrading of tool equipment. Our services leverage new technology and connectivity capabilities, including the award winning features and functions available on the new series 30i family of controls and productivity solutions like Proficy MTE which assists in identifying key areas for process improvements, aiding in reduced costs and increased productivity. Retrofitting process improvements can be achieved through:

  • Servo technology that is superior to any other in the market, providing smoother and faster machining. 
  • High-speed machining features such as AICC and HPCC enable faster and more accurate tool path with less programmer input.
  • Nano Smoothing provides smoother surfaces at higher feed rates. 
  • Machining Point Control leverages superior technology for suppressing vibration in large machines. 
  • Servo Tuning Capabilities allow the control to compensate for vibration and harmonics in the machine tool. It frees the retrofitter or MTB from having to engineer elaborate mechanical solutions.
  • Embedded Ethernet Capability, which comes standard on the series 30i family and iB controls, thereby allowing the transfer of large programs between machines. Used in conjunction with Fanuc Data Server, it provides megabyte level storage capacity and FTP capability to programmers, who can push huge programs to the control. 
  • And the Application Engineer domain expertise and customer service to bring new life to your existing machines.

Training and Probing (setup and part inspection) Services

Aerospace manufacturers are looking to reduce their metal working focus and are eliminating machine tools on the plant floor. They are selling these machines to their suppliers, and therefore, there is a need for these suppliers to ramp up production. Key to them in this regard is learning new technologies such as high-speed machining, 5-axis machining and different setup procedures. GE Fanuc’s training and probing services help suppliers in meeting these challenges and achieving accuracy in controls.
