Retrofitting:
new performance from a proven structure

Revitalize your cutting system with FEMA retrofitting. We replace obsolete electronics with modern architectures, ensuring millimetre-level precision and full connectivity.

RETROFITTING

New life for your cutting systems

We upgrade existing machines with mechanical, electronic and software improvements to increase precision, safety and performance without replacing the entire system.

What Our Revamping Process Includes

Numerical Control Upgrade: Replacement of old PLCs with latest-generation hardware capable of managing complex cutting paths with higher data processing speed.

Motorization and Drives: Installation of brushless motors and high-efficiency drives to ensure smooth axis dynamics and precise positioning, while reducing energy consumption.

Native Software Integration: The core of the retrofitting process is the upgrade to LF2000. This allows the existing machine to use LF2 Nesting algorithms.

Safety and Sensor Technology: Upgrade of safety systems, including optoelectronic barriers and safety modules, and installation of sensors to monitor key operating parameters.

Applications and Benefits: Why Choose Retrofitting?

Full Power: Achieve cutting speeds that were previously impossible thanks to the new electronic axis control.

Zero downtime: Advanced diagnostics and the Remote Assistance module enable fast interventions that the old hardware could not support.

Individual Solutions: Each intervention is tailor-made. We design the electronics to integrate perfectly with the mechanical structure of your machine, whether it is FEMA-built or third-party.

Long and Safe Service Life: A retrofitted system can double its service life while fully complying with current safety and regulatory standards.

Your customized Retrofit

Do you want to take your processing to the next level?
With retrofitting, we transform your existing machines into modern, high-performance solutions: we work on mechanics and electronics to restore precision, improve reliability and integrate Industry 4.0 features, making your production process more advanced and competitive.

Risk reduction

Reduce downtime, obsolescence and operational risks. With targeted interventions, we make your machines more reliable, safer and ready for future production requirements. Io userei operational risks al posto di operational issues, perchรฉ suona piรน professionale e strategico.

Increased performance

Improve output, speed and processing quality. Retrofitting optimizes machine behaviour, restores efficiency and delivers higher performance from your existing systems.

Functional upgrade

Expand the operating capabilities of your machine. Integrate new functions, upgrade control systems and adapt the machine to new processes or products.

FAQs

Yes, subject to a technical assessment of the machine and its operating conditions.
The FEMA retrofitting service can also be applied to machines not manufactured by FEMA, provided that the system has mechanical, electrical and structural characteristics compatible with the intervention.

Based on the outcome of the assessment, our technical team can integrate FEMA solutions such as new control systems, upgraded electrical panels, advanced operator interfaces and dedicated software to improve cutting precision and machine productivity.

Yes, when the modernization process includes the integration of the technologies required for system interconnection.
Through the upgrade of control systems and the integration of NEXUM software, the machine can be configured to communicate with company systems, collect production data, monitor processing operations and improve process traceability.

These features are essential to align a used or outdated machine with the requirements of digital transition and Industry 4.0.

Each project is assessed individually, based on the machine configuration, the customerโ€™s production goals and the technical requirements needed for potential access to the tax benefits provided by current regulations.

The duration of a retrofitting intervention depends on the condition of the machine, the complexity of the system and the level of upgrade required.
For this reason, FEMA always carries out a preliminary technical assessment and, when necessary, an on-site inspection at the customerโ€™s facility to directly analyse the machine, existing critical issues and modernization goals.

After the analysis, we define a tailor-made intervention plan to minimize production downtime and ensure a safe, efficient restart.

Whenever possible, hardware components, electrical panels and software configurations are prepared and tested in advance in our laboratories, helping speed up on-site installation and optimize commissioning times.
