CNC Controllers has less life time then other components in a press brake!
A good quality bending machine’s body can last a couple of decades. On the other hand electronic based devices like CNC controllers has generally more or less 10 to 15 years of life.
Once they break down for many brand and models it is not possible to find spare part to replace broken parts. In some case it is possible to find spare parts but these spare parts are already old fashioned and a lot expensive. If owner of the machine prefers repair cost who also accept possible new damage risks because controllers have many components, like keypads, LCD screens, mother boards, Axes boards, Inputs and Output boards, memories, Hard disk or copact flash disk memories.. All these parts have a potential break down risk, means new repair cost.
So if you have such a case with your bending press brake machine and repair has an important cost, it tells you that it is very correct time to replace old controller with a modern CNC controller from Step Automation’s controller family.
