Summary
A planned downtime retrofit is almost always cheaper than waiting for a control to fail: beyond direct repair costs, an unplanned failure adds missed deadlines, lost production time, and wasted employee hours that can total thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per hour, even for small shops.
When an old CNC control goes down, there are component and repair costs you can easily see, possibly thousands of dollars. But what about the costs you can’t see? How much do missed deadlines, lost production time, decline in customer trust, and wasted employee hours cost? By conservative estimates, these costs typically add up to thousands or tens-of-thousands of dollars per hour, even for small manufacturers.
How much are these hidden costs stealing from you bottom line every year just because of a dated, unreliable CNC control?
Don’t wonder when your control will go down next, and how much time and money it will cost you when it does. Planning for a retrofit and changing the old control puts you back in the driver’s seat.
