Controller upgrade brings new life to old machine
JAR Engineering faced the prospect of
scrapping their Kasuga Machining Centre
while the core of the CNC machine was still
fully functional. The problem: the Kasuga
controller was: “Old and slow – a case of a
still young body under the direction of an old,
slow brain!” said Roy Milan of JAR.
But scrapping the machine and buying
a new system would have involved a large
capital investment. Instead, JAR Engineering contacted H & H Machine Tools and
investigated the possibility of a controller
www.siliconchip.com.au
transplant. The result: the Kasuga is now
working at double the previous feed rate.
Mr Milan says: “The system used to operate in a jerky, stop, start motion. The new
Fidia controller provides a continuous smooth
movement and reads at a very high rate of
knots. We are frequently recording savings
of $500 a day or higher —savings that will
rapidly pay out the upgrade cost.”
He adds that his company has found the
Fidia controlled machine “very user friendly,
with the need for operator training minimised.”
