Why should I upgrade the current control on my machine if it is still working?
Your machine tool may be working, but the question is: "Is it working to its max capacity & capability"? Because of the rapid advances in control technologies, replacing the control on your machine can give the best 'bang for your buck' in improving the performance of your existing equipment. The mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems on your machine tool do change, but computer control on machine tools is where the greatest technological strides are being made. Therefore, it only makes sense to upgrade that part of your machine tool that can provide the most improvement of your fabricating equipment.
