Retrofitting, upgrading and modernization
Our competence – your advantage
Upgrade your machines to the latest state of the art: retrofitting increases efficiency, performance and durability.
Possibilities of retrofitting
- Retrofitting for adaptation to new machining tasks
- Partial and general rebuilding
- Automatisierung
- IoT retrofitting
Advantages of retrofitting
- Increased productivity through reduced downtime and faster machining cycles
- Higher quality through better accuracy and easy operation and programming
- Secured spare parts supply over a long period of time
- Technical innovations such as network interfaces
- Value enhancement through modernization
Often, older machines are mechanically in good condition but are no longer state of the art in terms of controls or drives. By modernizing these components, the plants experience a considerable increase in value.
Reduction of your production downtime
We offer rental machines or contract manufacturing of your workpieces in many areas to reduce your production downtime during retrofitting.
Your Advantages with Retrofit
A retrofit allows existing machines to be specifically adapted to new technical and production requirements. Suitable components can often be retained, while individual assemblies are upgraded, modernized, or expanded.
This enables you to continue utilizing proven machine technology while bringing it up to current technical standards.
Extend Equipment Service Life
By refurbishing and modernizing existing machines, equipment can remain in operation for many additional years while being adapted to changing production requirements.
Depending on their condition, key mechanical components such as machine bases, work holding systems, and other assemblies can often be retained.
Reuse Existing Components
Modernizing existing equipment can often reduce investment costs. Continued use of existing components may also decrease the need for newly manufactured parts.
Depending on the scope of the retrofit project, this can significantly reduce the amount of new material and components required compared to replacing an entire machine.
Modernization of Technology Where It Matters
Control systems, drives, sensors, metrology, safety technology, and other components can be upgraded or expanded according to your specific requirements.
The scope and configuration of each retrofit project are individually tailored to the machine, application, and production environment.
Improve Performance and Availability
Modern control, drive, and automation technologies can help optimize processes, reduce downtime, and increase machine availability.
The achievable improvements depend on the original condition of the equipment and the extent of the modernization.
Optimize Energy Consumption
Modern drive and control technologies can help reduce energy consumption, depending on the machine's starting condition, application, and operating profile.
Potential technical and energy-saving improvements are individually evaluated during the retrofit assessment process.
Modification for new tasks
New machining tasks usually require adapting the machines and the machining processes.
Costs and resources can often be saved by converting existing equipment.
- Finishing unit
- Transport device
- Workpiece holder
- Control system
Partial and general rebuilding
Supfina systems are built for high volumes and long runtimes. But at some point, even the most robust technology has to be overhauled.
Depending on the scope of the work, it can be carried out at our premises or at your site.
Rebuild for a second life
Almost all Supfina machines and attachments supplied to date can be reused by means of a rebuild:

Automation
Automation of an existing line can significantly increase competitiveness. A wide range of components is available for this purpose:
- Loading systems
- Unloading systems
- Separation
- Palletizing
- Cleaning systems
- Marking systems
- Measurement
- Control
IoT Retrofitting
Older machines, in particular, are not designed to be integrated into IoT solutions. Here, both the sensors and the functions in the machine control system are missing.
However, IoT plays a central role in higher economic efficiency, process reliability and competitiveness. For this reason, modernization is the obvious choice.
- Conversion of machine controls
- Updating and expanding the software
- Expansion of connectivity
- Integration of new sensor technology
