Revitalizing Production: Motion Control Retrofits that Deliver

By Justin Underwood · June

At Machinery Solutions Group, we know that aging controls are one of the most common causes of unplanned downtime in the printing and packaging industries. Drives become obsolete, replacement parts grow scarce, and the reliability you once depended on begins to slip.

That’s where motion control retrofits come in. By upgrading older systems with modern PLCs, drives, and I/O, we extend the useful life of your equipment while delivering the performance and supportability of a new line — at a fraction of the cost.

What We Deliver in a Retrofit

  • Drive replacement & upgrades — swapping outdated platforms for modern Sinamics technology.
  • PLC modernization — moving from legacy S7-300/400 to the powerful S7-1500 family.
  • Improved diagnostics — advanced HMIs, remote support capability, and expanded visibility for operators.
  • Custom-engineered solutions — tailored to your binder, press, or finishing line.

The Results

  • Reduced downtime
  • Increased efficiency
  • Long-term serviceability
  • Operator tools that make production smoother and more predictable

Don’t wait until a failure shuts you down.
