Targeted machine refurbishment

What does partial refurbishment mean?

During a partial refurbishment, defined assemblies and functions of a used machine are specifically inspected, repaired or renewed.

Unlike a complete general overhaul, the scope of work focuses on selected machine areas and components that are relevant to reliable operation.

01 · Inspection

Systematic condition assessment

Mechanical, hydraulic and electrical functions are inspected and assessed for their condition.

02 · Repair

Work on selected components

Wear parts, seals, pipework and other defined components are inspected or renewed.

03 · Functional test

Adjusting and testing the machine

After reassembly, the machine functions are tested and fine-tuned for reliable operation.

Mechanical work

Inspection and machining of the locking unit

The locking unit is a central assembly of the die casting machine and is dismantled and inspected for wear as part of the partial refurbishment.

Removal and wear inspection

The locking unit is removed so that the relevant components can be accessed and inspected.

  • Structured dismantling
  • Inspection for wear
  • Assessment of mechanical components
  • Preparation for reassembly
Tolerances

Inspection of pins and bushings

The tolerances of the associated pins and bushings are inspected.

  • Inspection of fits
  • Assessment of wear condition

Operating unit and control system

New FRECH operating unit and inspected machine control

As part of the partial refurbishment, the machine receives a new FRECH operating unit with a conversion kit from IPC1412 to OT1315 978092 and a CPU MX213.

The machine control system is also inspected so that the existing functions can be verified and the final fine adjustment can be carried out.

Operating unit

New FRECH system

The existing operating unit is replaced by the solution defined in the scope of work.

Conversion

IPC1412 to OT1315

The specified conversion kit updates the existing operating and control technology.

Control system

CPU MX213 and functional testing

The CPU MX213 is included in the conversion scope. The machine control system is then inspected.

Hydraulic and injection systems

Inspection of important hydraulic machine functions

The hydraulic system controls important movements and functions of the die casting machine.

The injection system, ejector, locking cylinder, hydraulic valves and hydraulic pump are therefore inspected as part of the defined scope of work.

Injection system

Removal, inspection and new seals

The injection system is removed and inspected. New seals are then installed.

Hydraulic ejector

Wear inspection and resealing

The hydraulic ejector is removed, inspected for wear and fitted with renewed seals.

Locking cylinder

Inspection of the cylinder function

The locking cylinder is dismantled, inspected and rebuilt with new seals.

Valves and pump

Inspection of hydraulic components

The hydraulic valves and hydraulic pump are checked for proper function.

Lubrication and supply

Inspected central lubrication and renewed pipework

A reliable lubricant supply supports controlled movement and protects mechanical machine components.

System inspection

Inspection of the central lubrication system

The function of the existing central lubrication system is inspected.

Distributor

Replacement of the lubricant distributor

The distributor is replaced as part of the partial refurbishment.

Pipework

Renewal of the lines

The pipework associated with the lubrication system is replaced.

Benefits of partial refurbishment
