Retrofit / Overhaul
Retrofit
Productivity and Operability be greatly increased increased by Retrofit/Rebuilding Your Old Machines
Example 1 KS300 High Production Type Hobbing Machine
Mechanical Radial Feed Unit
X-Axis CNC Servo Motor
Mechanical Gear Box
Z & C-Axis CNC Servo Motor
The mechanical radial feed unit and gear box are removed, and X-axis (radial),
Z-axis (axial), C-axis (work table) and B-axis (Hob) are retrofitted with CNC functions,
delivering significantly improved operability and productivity.
Example 2 KG251 Hob Sharpener
The integrated operator panel and machine body has a smaller foot print, delivering increased operability.
By replacing the pulse motor control with CNC, a wider working range is automatically controlled, and the
speed of each axis is increased.
Additionally, an auto checking device confirming the number of flutes prevents a hob/program mistake which
can damage the hob and/or grinding wheel, allowing increased working efficiency and safety.
Overhaul
Machine Accuracies will be improved by Overhauling
Your Old Machines that have become worn after many years of use.
Kashifuji completely disassembles your machine to clean each component, and check the degree of aging or
accuracies on each unit. Each unit is modified, or replaced with a new unit depending of the results of a
thorough investigation. The accuracies of important machine components are carefully double-checked.
Moreover, the information on machine design, machine rigidity and machining accuracies accumulated over many
years of after-sales service/support is incorporated in the overhaul of your machine. The end results
produce a rebuilt machine that is more accurate than the original!
