Retrofits and rebuilds, any make
Modernise existing balancing machines and bring them up to today's production and safety requirements, at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. We replace obsolete controls and measuring electronics, retrofit safety systems to current CE/UL standards, retool for new parts and rebuild worn machines, typically at a 40% saving versus new, on any make.
What's included
New life, same machine.
A rebuild is a cost-effective way to expand capability and extend machine lifetime.
Which route
The right fix for the machine.
| Situation | Usual answer |
|---|---|
| Mechanics are sound; electronics or PC are obsolete | Upgrade the measuring electronics and controls |
| Machine no longer meets current safety requirements | Retrofit safety systems to CE/UL |
| Machine is worn, or needs to run a different part | Rebuild and retool |
| Cycle time is the problem, not accuracy | Add a modern correction system or automation |
| Capacity or part size is beyond the frame | A new machine. See the range. |
Why upgrade
Keep the frame, renew the brains.
The frame, bed and spindle usually outlast the electronics by decades.
We support every balancing and test machine, ours and competitors'. For breakdowns on a machine that doesn't need upgrading, see repair.
Measuring system upgrade · any make
Old machine. New measuring system.
If your machine's mechanics are sound but its measuring electronics are obsolete, the measuring system can be renewed with UltraX, on balancing machines of any make, ours and competitors'.
Drag to compare: an older measuring system, and the real UltraX software balancing a demo rotor.

How it works
From old machine to certified.
Tell us the make, model and age of the machine and what you need it to do. We assess it, upgrade or rebuild what it needs (controls, measuring electronics, safety systems, workholding or correction), then calibrate and certify it.
