You know it yourself: A system standstill in production is the worst-case scenario. If something doesn't run smoothly, a spare part is needed as quickly as possible. But what if it is no longer available? For machines that are 10 years or older, this is not uncommon.
In many cases, we can offer you a suitable alternative for discontinued parts. This can be installed in your machine without any additional adjustments and replaces the old component 1:1. Thanks to plug-and-play, you can carry on as before.
However, replacing with a substitute is not always possible. So, might you need a completely new machine when certain parts are facing discontinuation? No! With Bäumer's Risk Minimization retrofits, you can take precautions and ensure the long-term availability of spare parts for your machine.
Can't easily replace a discontinued component of your foam cutting machine? We make it possible anyway! With our Risk Minimization retrofit, we offer you a comprehensive package of measures that will bring your machine back up to the latest state of the art: We replace drives, install new switch cabinets, adapt your software or carry out a complete control system conversion step by step.
The necessary measures depend on your machine and system. That's why we plan each retrofit individually to find the perfect solution for your needs. However, the aim of our Risk Minimization retrofits is always the same: We not only replace discontinued parts, but also ensure that your machine remains compatible with next-generation components. This way, you can rely on guaranteed spare parts availability in the future!
