Engineered Machine Tool Retrofits
Entrust is a US based manufacturer of CNC
machine tools sold throughout the world. Products
range from basic PLC controlled machinery to multi-million
dollar automated CNC machine tools. We combine the
talent and energy of skilled professionals with
continuing
investment in state of the art engineering,
manufacturing and information technologies.
In addition to new machine products,
Entrust offers engineering, machine components, material
planning and other services needed for large machine
tool retrofits. As a machine tool manufacturer, we have
established competitive pricing and preferred service
agreements with world class suppliers such as SKF,
INAFAG, ZF, Rexroth, GE Fanuc, Siemens, Fibro and many
others. The result is high performance and reliable
products delivered at a reasonable cost.
Entrust’s modular engineered solutions,
full documentation, training and warranty programs for
machine retrofits are similar to those provided with new
a machine purchase. This makes cost
justification for a retrofit project less complicated and secures
asset value with branding and long term support.

Project Assessment and Budgetary
Proposals
Understand customer’s intent for use of
equipment and evaluate the effectiveness of
new technologies adapted to the machine.
Review machine tool condition and original
design to determine if retrofit or rebuild
is a wise technical and financial decision.
Provide budgetary cost and project timing
estimate based on standard sales tools
Identify project unknowns or potential
sources for cost overruns
|
|
Engineering Project Review (paid service)
Review existing documentation available for
machine – Operation and maintenance manuals,
maintenance records, inspection reports and
original machine specifications
Identify potential areas for performance
enhancement
On-site engineering and technician review
(may require machine down time and partial
disassembly)
Perform basic mechanical and control system
engineering to determine bill of materials
Create scope of work document, project time
line, firm pricing proposal and identify
responsibilities of customer and suppliers
