Retrofits by Arrow Controls
Below are some examples of machines that we retrofitted
Shizuoka mill retrofit
Retrofit installation was done in under 30 minutes after the panels and custom PLC were created. We re-used the Fanuc drives and yellow cap motors.
This retrofit is an example of a direct Fanuc control replacement and integrates with the Fanuc servo drives and motors seamlessly.
Mori Seiki SL-5 SL-3 SL-1 Lathes
Customer of ours has SIX Centroid retrofits on three different mills and three Mori Seiki lathes
Some of the other Mori Seiki lathes that we have retrofit with Centroid controls
Unisig UNI-T-15/1200 Gundrill
Centroid Retrofit on a Gundrill that got so bad it could only run 1-2 hours a day. We finished the install and had it running parts in less than 2 days. Added drives to the spindle and part motors so you can adjust the speeds. There are many new features and a definite upgrade over the old system. First parts ran 30% faster than the old system.
Blanchard Grinder
This is the 2nd Blanchard we have done for this customer. Old control just got to the point where it wasn’t reliable anymore. Time to go modern with a CENTROID
HAAS VF3
We brought this HAAS mill back to life with it’s DC servo motors.
