We routinely use the following systems for our rebuilds.

• GE Fanuc
• Siemens
• NUM
• Allen Bradley
• Square D / Telemecanique
• Indramat

This is generally the first level of upgrade. It might encompass a single system, or possibly multiple systems or components, on the machine. It generally infers that the old troublesome items will be removed, and replaced with a newer more modern version. The work is usually done on site with only a minimal amount of offsite preparation of the new equipment. Some people in the industry use the words recontrol and rebuild interchangeably, but here at MTB we feel that there is a difference and we make note of it on our correspondence with the our customers.

One such example of a recent rebuild was on a older machine where we added one axis of motion to a mechanical axis to allow for a more economical auto cycle. We replaced the old pendant with a new one that had a small HMI to program the servo motions with. See the pictures below.
