More retrofit projects for CNC controller upgrade consultants
A twenty-year-old machine tool with a dead control is a brutal decision for a shop owner, scrap a mechanically sound mill or spend big on a new one, when a controller retrofit could bring it back for a fraction of the cost. The owner weighing that does not know retrofitting is even an option until someone shows them, which is exactly where most consultants lose the project, by waiting for the inbound call. The shops with iron sitting idle, the manufacturers running obsolete controls they can no longer get parts for, the plants nervous about a single point of failure, they all need a consultant to make the case. Find those machine shops and manufacturers, reach the owner or engineering lead who signs off on capital work, and turn one retrofit into a fleet-modernization relationship, free to start.

Hi Helga, scrapping a mechanically sound machine over a dead control is the most expensive mistake a shop can make.
I retrofit obsolete CNC controls with modern systems for a fraction of replacement cost, so your iron runs faster and you can actually get parts again.

“Shops did not call me because they did not know a control retrofit was even possible. I used LeadStal to reach owners and engineering managers across the region, opened with the cost of a retrofit versus a new machine, and the replies poured in. I now have a backlog of upgrade projects and several shops modernizing their whole floor with me.”
