Retrofit Services

In most cases, a complete retrofit will involve the replacement of an existing antiquated control. New Servo motors and drives are sized to match the machine’s capabilities. A new operators pendant and magnetic panel typically accompany a complete retrofit. Additionally, all existing wiring is stripped from the machine and disgarded. New wire is properly sized and integrated to the machine. Generally, the existing motor starter main disconnect and limit switches are retained, along with pressure switches and thermal switches. All mechanical brackets and adaptors, required to complete the retrofit process will be provided. Defective sealtite, cord grips, etc. will be replaced.

MTSU provides a complete set of documentation with each retrofit completed. Our integrators are capable of performing retrofits to a variety of manufacturing controls. Through a cooperative relationship with our alliance partners, we are able to expand this selection.

MTSU has experience with some of the newer PC- based control products. Many of the PC based control products allow you to use some of the existing drives, motors and wiring; thereby, reducing the cost that is typical with a complete retrofit. Prior to quoting a “control only” retrofit, MTSU will request that a thorough electrical inspection of the machine be performed to insure its candidacy.
