The entire retrofit process typically takes 12-14 weeks from PO to runoff depending on the size and complexity of your machine tool. The amount of downtime you should expect during this process time is around 4 - 6 weeks depending on the machine configuration. A 2 or 4-axis machine will take less time compared to a machine with additional complexities such as a large 5-axis gantry mill style machine. This down time occurs while KRC is onsite performing install, debug, calibration and training.

A machine that is mechanically sound, but has outdated controls and or is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Another determining factor that customers need to consider is the replacement value of the machine. We typically suggest retrofitting a machine only if it will cost 30% - 40% of the cost of a new machine.
This is a common question and is dependent of the type of control and machine type. Having the ability to laser comp the machine for linear axis positioning, we are able to help the customer tighten up the machine. We can also utilize the newer control features like tool center point control and nano smoothing, for example. When you compound these together with the processing time of the new control, you can expect greater accuracy and better finishing of the part. KRC performs a linear axis comp with every machine as long as it is mechanically sound. We cannot take a machine in bad mechanical shape and make it more accurate just with this process.
In most cases, KRC does not offer the purchase of just a kit. There may be times where it makes sense under certain circumstances such as if certain personnel are not allowed to be inside a customer facility due to regulations. Why we would not recommend the purchase of a kit only, is that most people do not have the discipline to take the machine down for the amount of time necessary to complete the job. This would result in the project taking longer and the customer would end up paying more in the long run. Allowing KRC to handle the entirety of the project, customers get to utilize our 30 years of experience, our training, and our laser calibration equipment. Retrofitting is successful when you are able to take advantage of the total solution. We are open to discuss this as an option as long as we feel in the end it will be the right solution for the customer.
