CNC Retrofitting/Conversion (Your FANUC Experts)
CNC Retrofits: Making Old Machines Like New
SRITECH Engineering is the most experienced FANUC retrofitter in Chennai. Our customers range in size from small, medium and large scale manufacturing firms. We know how important your machine is, so we take extra care to retrofit as quickly as possible and ensure the machine will run better than ever; for many years to come.
The following information highlights several important phases of a retrofit, all of which are critical for success:
Engineering
If a system is not properly engineered from the start, it has little chance of running without issues for very long, if at all! We guarantee that your new FANUC CNC system will run better, faster, and be more productive.
Installation
Quality installation is critical because this is not a plug-and-play retrofit! Our installation teams live-and-breath FANUC Retrofits; that’s all they do and they’re the best in the business. Your installation will also be expedited to reduce machine downtime.
Additional steps are taken to ensure that wire numbers and terminal strips are clearly marked, wire terminations are secure and all codes and safety guidelines have been followed.
Startup & Debug
Making your machine work better is our main goal! FANUC controls have many powerful options and we will work together to integrate these to your machine and manufacturing process.
Training & Documentation
Our hands-on Training and detailed Retrofit Documentation will ensure that you get the most out of your new FANUC CNC system.
Accessories to Further Increase Productivity
We know that competitive manufacturers are constantly looking for new ways to produce more with less, so we offer a variety of value-added solutions that can increase productivity, without the need to increase personnel:
- On-Machine Measurement probe & laser options for tool setting and broken tool detection.
- CNC Rotary Tables.
- FANUC Robots for advanced automation.
Machine Tool Rebuilding
Machine Tool Rebuilds for High Value CNC Machines
Sometimes, a FANUC CNC retrofit and a complete or partial mechanical rebuild are required to maximize machine tool productivity and reliability. In these cases, we work with our rebuild partners to design the perfect solution for your machine tool and manufacturing process.
Basic Rebuild
A typical rebuild includes a CNC Retrofit, plus the repair/replacement of worn mechanical components like ballscrews, lubrication pumps, safety interlocks, guards, hoses, belts and machine wiring.
Advanced Rebuild & Remanufacturing
A more advanced remanufacturing project involves a CNC Retrofit, plus repairing/replacing mechanical components to original, factory specification or better. Most remanufactured machines will be completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, repaired and painted. All pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical system will be updated.

FANUC CNC Retrofit Kits
A True "DIY" FANUC CNC Retrofit Kit
We are excited to offer a first of it's kind FANUC CNC Retrofit Kit designed for simple, small-to-medium machine tools. These "Do-It-Yourself" retrofit kits are ideal for customers who have the chops to tackle the installation on straight-forward machines without accessories like tool changers, pallet changers, on-machine measurement devices, rotary tables, etc. For more dynamic CNC machine tools and grinders or machine tools that require mechanical repairs, we also offer turnkey FANUC retrofit and rebuild solutions.
Don't Sacrifice Quality & Reliability for Low Cost
There are a number of other low-cost CNC Retrofit options on the market, but rarely are they designed with FANUC CNC hardware. FANUC CNCs offer the longest mean time between failure (MTBF) in the industry. Plus, comprehensive diagnostic and troubleshooting tools ensure a low mean time to repair (MTTR) in the unlikely event that an issue arises. FANUC CNCs also come with free lifetime tech support.
What's Included
Our fully assembled and tested FANUC CNC Retrofit Kits include a new electrical enclosure for the control, drives, contactors, relays, reactor, and the operator's panel. The FANUC CNC comes pre-configured with industry standard parameters, PMC logic, M and G codes, I/O assignments and logic to interface with existing machine functions. Each retrofit kit will include wiring schematics, installation documentation and operators manuals. The kit includes:

Installation, Programming & FANUC CNC Retrofit Kit Options
Installation of a FANUC CNC Retrofit Kit starts by rewiring the I/O from the current cabinet to the I/O terminals in the new electrical enclosure. Motor mount adapter plates and couplings need to be designed and fabricated to adapt the new servo, and optional spindle, motors to the machine. Some troubleshooting and customization may be required to adapt the retrofit kit to your machine.
A standard mill or lathe PMC ladder logic program will be preloaded in the control. This will provide M codes and designated I/O options for peripheral systems like coolant systems, chip conveyors, work chucks, spindle gears, etc. NC Parameters for the servo motors, optional spindle motor, MDI panel, operators panel, and I/O will be preset and tested. Customers are responsible for providing specific machine details regarding gear ratios and ball screw specifications in order to configure the NC parameters for your machine.
