The decision to invest in your future in upgrading machines to CNC leads to the question "should
I retrofit an existing machine or purchase new?"
Purchase New vs. Retrofit
Many times all the expenses related to the purchase of a new machine are not considered until after the decision.
Such as, machine delivery lead time, freight, new concrete pad, electrical, reallocation of space, and debugging after arrival.
Low Cost Investment
Normally, the typical retrofit candidate is probably already written off. Eagle converts this good "carcass" to
CNC power by replacing the existing mechanical gear drives, and Acme Screws, with Servo Motors and precision ground ball screws.
A new Mitsubishi or other control, along with covers and paint, finish the machine to a "like new" appearance and operation.
Tax Advantages
In many cases there are tax advantages as personal property taxes are reduced to the retrofit portion of the machine.
Consult with your accountant on how this may apply to your situation.
24 Month Warranty
All mechanical work performed by Eagle has a six (6) month/2000 hour parts and labor warranty. All new electronic
components have a twelve (12) month parts and labor warranty. Mitsubishi offers a twenty-four (24) month replacement
warranty on all their components.
Turn Around Time
Eagle designs and documents all parts used in the conversion process. On machines we have already retrofitted the
turn around time is dramatically reduced.
Custom Training
Included with your retrofit investment is up to sixteen (16) hours of hands on training to enable quick start to cutting
chips after the machine is installed.
Documentation
A complete set of electrical prints are furnished with the machine as well as control operation manuals to meet future
maintenance and trouble shooting issues.
Customer Support
Follow-up after the installation is critical after completion of the retrofit. Eagle maintains regular customer
contact even after the retrofit is completed.
