We’ll transform your old system into a modern, efficient and connected machine.
STEP’s industrial retrofit service was created to breathe new life into obsolete machinery, improving its performance, safety and integration with factory systems.
Our work method:
– Technical analysis of the plant and cost-benefit assessment
– Tailored proposal with modular solutions
– Project implementation with minimal machine downtime
– Testing and certification
– Post-project assistance and remote support
Why STEP is the ideal partner
Our experience enables us to work on machinery across various sectors, guaranteeing a reliable, modern and productivity-focused result.
Some of our retrofit and revamping projects
Our experience is based on real-world projects carried out on machinery that is dated but still mechanically sound
Here are some notable examples of our work.
Revamping Hartford HV35A machining centre (Meldas Series)
A machine tool from the 1990s that has undergone mechanical revision and replacement of the numerical control system
Complete revamping of a VILOR injection moulding machine from the 1980s
Work carried out on a heritage injection moulding machine, including a mechanical overhaul and the complete replacement of the control system and operator panel.
Retrofit: Shoe mould turning machine – New StepLastMill control
New numerical control for mould milling
StepLastMill was developed in response to the need to upgrade machines that are still mechanically sound but limited by obsolete controls.
The new system offers a modern and intuitive interface, compatible with the most widely used software, thereby reducing operator training time.
Key features
– Import of STL files and automatic conversion to SLF with size detection
– Updated design, familiar icons, immediate usability.
– Improved surface quality and machining precision.
– Productivity increase of up to +50%.
StreamLine Package
– Quick adjustment of mould height whilst maintaining the original profile
– Creation of size groups with uniform height
– Correction of upper surface defects
– Verification and correction of parallelism
A revamped machine, faster and more precise.
A retrofit that does more than simply ‘refurbish’ the machine; it takes it to the next level, bringing it into line with current industry standards.
