Your machine still has decades left. Its controls don't.
We retrofit legacy CNC and manual equipment with modern controls, drives and safety, at a fraction of the cost of replacement and with zero loss of the iron you trust.
A worn control cabinet doesn't mean a worn machine. Zavod strips outdated electronics and replaces them with modern CNC controls, servo drives, and compliant safety systems, while preserving the rigid castings and ways that still hold tolerance. The result is a machine that reads like new to your operators and your ERP.
Built into every retrofits project.
Control & drive replacement
Swap obsolete or unsupported controls for current CNC platforms with full parameter documentation and spare-part availability.
Servo & spindle upgrades
Modern digital servos and spindle drives restore speed, accuracy and thermal stability lost to decades of wear.
Safety & compliance
Category-rated e-stops, guarding interlocks and updated wiring brought in line with current machinery-safety standards.
Connectivity & data
MTConnect / OPC-UA outputs so a 1990s machine reports live to the same dashboard as your newest cell.
