CNC and machine control
When a machine is mechanically sound but its control is failing or obsolete, we retrofit new control: motion controller, drives, touchscreen and safety circuits. We also build control for one-off machines.
What we do
- CNC control retrofits: new motion controller, drives and operator screen
- Servo and stepper drive replacement
- Machine safety circuits: emergency stops, guard switches and safety relays
- Control panels for custom and one-off machines
- Fault finding on machine electrics
Problems we solve
- A good machine stopped by a control board nobody can repair
- Drives and parts that are no longer made
- Safety circuits that have been bypassed over the years
Control panels designed and built in our own workshop.

Control panel under construction with breakers, contactors and terminals
Questions
Is a retrofit worth it?
When the mechanics are in good order and only the control is failing, a retrofit usually costs far less than a new machine. We look at the machine first and give you a straight answer.
