Restoration, modernization and development of production systems
Reverse engineering of machines, devices, and production stations is one of the services provided at NEOTECH. This enables the reconstruction, modernization, or further development of machines and processes. At NEWOTECH, we combine design, construction, electrical engineering, automation, and production expertise, providing comprehensive service: from analysis of the existing solution to implementation of the finished system.
Lack of technical documentation, discontinued components, limited availability of spare parts, the need to increase production efficiency? We’re familiar with these common challenges that industrial companies face daily.
Reverse Engineering - When is it worth using?
Our clients have struggled with this question, and they also shared the following: “We’ve always been very happy with machine X at our plant, but now we have a problem…”
Lack of technical documentation – Your machine or device has been in operation for many years, and the documentation has been lost or never been available.
Manufacturer has gone out of business – There’s no way to purchase spare parts or obtain technical support.
Modernization of existing equipment – Outdated mechanical, electrical, or automation components need to be replaced.
Expansion of production capacity – Your machine requires increased efficiency, automation, or integration with new processes.
Device replication – It’s necessary to duplicate or replicate an existing station, process, or machine, for example, for a new production location.
What can we recreate, replace, replicate or replace?
Mechanical components:
- drive units,
- shafts, rollers and guides,
- processing fixtures,
- working heads,
- feeders and manipulators,
- positioning mechanisms,
- special tooling,
- spare parts not available from the manufacturer.
Electrical and automation systems:
- control cabinets,
- power systems,
- PLC controllers,
- HMI operator panels,
- safety systems,
- servo drives and inverters,
- measuring and control systems,
- sensor and vision systems.
Inductive Components
Thanks to our in-house expertise in winding technology, we can also reproduce:
- inductors,
- sensor coils,
- actuator components,
- antenna and RFID systems,
- special transformers,
- current transformers,
- electric drive components.
Modernization and retrofitting of machines
In many cases, a complete device rebuild is not necessary. A much better solution is to modernize an existing machine. The scope of work includes:
- replacing obsolete PLCs,
- modernizing control systems,
- replacing drives and servo drives,
- implementing new safety systems,
- integrating vision systems,
- automating manual operations,
- increasing production efficiency,
- adapting machines to new products,
- digitizing and collecting process data.
Modernization allows for extending the life cycle of the equipment and reducing the costs associated with purchasing new machines.
