**Reports of our recent CNC control retrofit project.**
	Completed CNC control retrofit As time permits, we will be uploading photos and information on our recent CNC control retrofit projects. Each day we are on-site will include several photos outlining our progress. Bigger upgrade projects can require engineering time, Cad time, or Custom control programming. Click here to view this CNC retrofit project.

**Manual to CNC control retrofit project.**
	Completed manual to CNC retrofit This Nomura horizontal mill was originally a manual machine. Machines in Motion worked closely with our customer to fabricate and install the hardware needed to replace it's Acme screws with Ball screws, Mount the servo motors, then fabricate the mounting arm for our professional level CNC console. All of this happens on site with minimal disruption to the customer's normal flow of business.

**Reports of our recent CNC control retrofit project.**
	Completed CNC Lathe control upgrade One of our more popular control upgrades is the Mori Seiki SL seried of CNC lathes. Built to offer many years of precision parts production. New servo motors have nearly 10 times more encoder pulses than the priginal hardware. Automatic tool turret hits the mark every time.

**Production CNC Router retrofit.**
	This CNC Router is Back in Business This oversized machine fits the needs of its owner. The older CNC controller just couldn't be counted on to show up for work and replacing the machine with something brand new was cost prohibitive. Our new M-400 CNC control is faster to use and runs the machine at higher travel rates. During it's annual calibration the laser measurement company will generate new correction tables to provide a "better than new" level of accuracy.

**Single phase CNC control System.**
	Upgraded CNC control and VFD Reciently we have completed a few control systems specifically for single phase power. If yours is one of the many "at home" businesses using full sized CNC machinery then Machines in Motion has a solution. This 5 H.P. 3 phase spindle is powered by a VFD using typical home 220VAC. Unlike rotary phase converters our VFD is totally silent, consumes less current, and can be used to control spindle RPM. We offer New Machine reliability with simple to program ease of use, custom built to meet your specific shop environment. Professional installation was 3 days including control use training. Located in Henderson, NV.

CNC control retrofit possibilities

There are many ways to update your CNC controller.

Some people wish to do it themselves. Others need it professionally installed with the least amount of machine down time. There are minimum component cnc retrofits for tight budgets and "replace it all" systems providing the greatest amount of speed, accuracy, and reliability. This is my preferred upgrade as the customer pays once to gain many years of trouble free service.

Value is always a consideration. Many customers wish to compare the price of their broken down machine against the cost of a CNC retrofit upgrade. A more accurate comparison of value would be to compare the cost of a brand new machine against the cost of upgrading their known good iron with a new control.

1. Your machine is already in place. We perform our CNC retrofit upgrades on-site without the added expense of rigging or transportation.
2. You know what your current machine is capable of. Where is the value in purchasing a used machine with unknown qualities. No warranty that a used machine will work as well as expected.
3. A new CNC control retrofit provides your machine with the features and reliability of a new CNC machine tool at a fraction of the new machine price.
4. Centroid CNC controls can grow with your shop requirements. At the time of installation or years later you can add new features such as, increased part precision through laser compensation or linear encoder feedback, ridged tapping, probing, or part digitizing.
