The cost-efficient control system upgrade
The PCU retrofit increases, for little expense, the IT security of older GROB machines featuring a PowerLine control system and ensures the availability of spare parts over the long term. Involving much lower costs and shorter machine downtimes, the PCU retrofit is the more convincing alternative to a complete control system replacement.
- Significantly less expensive than an upgrade to a SolutionLine control system
- Maximum IT security thanks to the Windows 10 operating system
- Familiar HMI with improved performance
- Permits the use of additional software
- Machine downtime limited to one day
- Option: Spare part availability of electrical components or preventive replacement of all critical electrical components
- Compatible with the web applications of GROB-NET4Industry

- Option: NCU retrofit (Numerical Control Unit) to increase computing power and productivity
Control and drive components for machines with PowerLine control system are generally no longer available as new commodities. Trading with used components is also becoming increasingly popular. We offer you two possible solutions. Both of them give you a refurbished component in exchange for the defective part. All components have to pass a thorough function test prior to delivery. You also get an 18-month warranty on the exchanged components.
Option 1: Spare part availability of electrical components
The spare part availability of electrical components option guarantees you a suitable, immediate replacement should any electrical component fail. A scope of critical electrical spare parts to suit your needs is agreed between you and GROB. We guarantee you availability of the spare parts for your selected period, ten years for example.
