Retrofit Of Cylindrical Grinding Machines

The Italy department of WEMA VOGTLAND Technology GmbH modernizes grinding machines for internal and external cylindrical grinding of virtually any brand.
The scope of services ranges from overhauling and retrofit to retooling of grinding machines, i.e. the adaption of the machines to new parts and processes, for various applications such as gear shafts, crank- and camshafts, bearings grinding and aerospace applications.

Own grinding process experts and specifically trained mechanical engineers and programmers ensure a professional and trouble-free execution of the overhauling and modernization projects. From the first inspection and analysis of the actual machine condition to the operational hand-over of the rebuilt machine.

Overhauling
Replacement of all worn parts, substitute solutions for parts that are no longer available in the market.

Goal:
- Re-establishing the original productivity of the machine
- Extension of the machine service life
- Re-establishing accuracy
- Securing the availability of spare parts

Retrofit
Upgrading with new functions and/or new CNC

Goal:
- Increase of productivity and performance
- Upgrade to new grinding technologies
- Adaption of the machine to new IT structures

Rebuild/Retooling
Conversion of machines and complete manufacturing systems to fulfill new machining tasks.

Goal:
- Manufacturing of new parts/new part types
- Change of manufacturing processes and sequences

Spare Parts
Beside standard spare parts we offer our customers the replacement of original sub-assemblies or substitution of original spare parts for all well-known grinding machine brands.
