Services
Projects, upgrades and service for CNC and PLC systems
From a full CNC retrofit to a midnight breakdown, we work on the control systems that run New Zealand plant.
CNC retrofits and upgrades
Give a good machine a new control
The mechanics of a well built machine tool outlast its control by decades. When the CNC, drives or motors become obsolete, a retrofit replaces them and keeps the machine you know, for far less than a new one.
We survey the machine, specify the new control, drives and motors, rewire and commission it, and plan the work around your production.
- Survey and fixed-scope proposal
- New CNC control, servo drives, spindle drive and motors
- Electrical cabinet rework and new wiring
- PLC, HMI and machine logic rewritten or migrated
- Commissioning, parameter backup and operator handover
PLC projects and upgrades
Replace obsolete PLCs before they fail
An obsolete PLC or HMI is a breakdown waiting for a part nobody stocks. We migrate the program and the hardware to a current platform, test it, and switch over in a planned window.
We also take on new control projects: new machines, line changes, and added safety or interlocks.
- Migration from obsolete PLCs and HMIs
- New control systems and programs
- Drives, motion and safety integration
- Documentation and full program backups
- Commissioning and support afterwards
Service and repairs
When a machine stops, we come and fix it
Fast, dependable fault finding and repair on CNC and PLC systems, to get production running again with as little downtime as possible.
And maintenance planned to stop it happening again. Why proactive maintenance pays.
- Breakdown call-outs and fault finding
- Drive, control and electrical repairs
- Program and parameter backups, and restores
- Planned and preventive maintenance
- The parts the repair needs
SCADA and visualisation
One view of the whole plant
Operator screens, alarms, trends and production data from every machine and process, in one place. For a single line or a whole site.
- SCADA and HMI screens
- Alarms and alarm history
- Trends and production data
- Connection to PLCs across the site
- Reports for managers
Machine monitoring
Every machine, live, without anyone writing anything down
Kealink, the monitoring platform we built with Salix, shows each machine's state, output, OEE and stops, and emails your team when something needs attention.
Robotic machine tending
Machines that keep cutting after everyone goes home
A robot loads raw parts and unloads finished ones, so your CNC machines run through breaks, shift changes and the night.
How a project runs
- 1
Site visit
We look at the machine or the line, what it does now, and what you need it to do.
- 2
Fixed-scope quote
What we will do, what it costs, how long the machine is down, in writing.
- 3
Build and install
Prepared ahead, installed in a planned window to keep downtime short.
- 4
Commission and support
Tested, documented, backed up, and handed over to your team, with support after.
Tell us about the machine
The make, the control and what it is doing, or not doing. We reply within one working day.
