New machine designs benefit from all the latest advancements in higher-resolution feedback devices, faster processors, sharper vision systems and more sophisticated communication buses. To stay competitive, your existing machine will need to deliver higher performance and quality. Does that mean you need to completely redesign it?

There are other options: partially redesigning the machine, replacing individual motors or drives, or upgrading to complete, fully harmonized motion systems. In this white paper, we take you through all the options — including the costs, risks, expected performance improvements and time to ROI—so that you can make the best choice for your application requirements and business goals.
