It's not even just retrofitting and modernization. Even just repair of larger CNC machines is unbelievably expensive and very cool.
Are you removing old motor drives from machines and installing new drives to extend life? There is certainly a larger market. I'm in Norfolk, VA and there are machine shops all over the place. I'd love to hear more from you.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoI personally am not; my customer's core business is repairing and retrofitting the machinery. They kept running into the issue doing some retrofits where the new drives weren't compatible with the signals from some of the old machines and it was causing them to have to modify the drives (breaking the warranty) to make it work. They realized that if they had hardware to read the original position indication, do some DSP and convert to something the new drives could handle, it would simplify everything. That's where I came in. It's been working out pretty well for everyone concerned so far and I'm now working on version 3 of the product!
