Cincinnati Hydrotel Numerical Control Retrofit Program
Abstract:
The rehabilitation, numerical control retro fitting and production evaluation is presented of a 36 x 72 in. Cincinnati horizontal hydrotel milling machine. The purpose is to determine the technical and economical feasibility of such a modernization approach as compared to the procurement of new equipment. The performance tests and production part evaluation indicate that for specific, well qualified machines retrofitting is justified both technically and economically. The machine retrofitted in this project shows a savings of 33% as compared to an equivalent new machine. Future retrofit of an identical machine will result in a savings of 11% due to an in creased vendor bid.
