Laser Cutting System Retrofit & Upgrade Services

A successful retrofit starts with the condition of the existing machine—not with a parts list. We review the mechanical platform, drive architecture, electrical drawings, safety chain, gas circuit and production target before defining the upgrade.

Retrofit Engineering

Compatibility comes before configuration

Every project requires a machine-specific assessment. Final hardware, software and achievable performance depend on the existing mechanical accuracy, drive system, I/O, electrical cabinet, safety circuit and selected laser power.

Assessment Checklist

  • Machine brand, model and year
  • Current controller, drives and fieldbus
  • Laser source, cutting head and chiller
  • Electrical drawings and safety circuit
  • Target materials, thickness and laser power

Project Deliverables

  • Machine compatibility report
  • Retrofit architecture and bill of materials
  • Electrical and I/O integration plan
  • Installation and parameter commissioning
  • Operator training and handover records
  • Remote support after commissioning

Retrofit Engineering

From machine survey to production handover

  1. 01

    Machine survey

    Collect model, year, controller, source, drives, drawings and fault history.

  2. 02

    Compatibility review

    Verify mechanics, motion, I/O, safety, utilities and target laser power.

  3. 03

    Retrofit engineering

    Define control, optics, electrical, cooling, gas and safety integration.

  4. 04

    Installation & commissioning

    Install hardware, map I/O, tune motion and complete process parameter setup.

  5. 05

    Training & support

    Validate cutting samples, train operators, document the final configuration and provide post-commissioning support.

Selecting the right Bochu control platform

CypCut is a leading Chinese sheet-metal laser cutting software platform. Depending on power, motion architecture and process requirements, a project may use CypCut, CypCutPro or an EtherCAT-based FSCUT8000/HypCut solution.
