Q: Why retrofit?
In most cases, the physical structure of machine has useful life but the drives, motors, gearboxes, and controllers need to be updated. Burny offers a complete retrofit support solution ( product/installation/service) at a fraction of the cost of a new machine. By retrofitting your machine, you will increase productivity and improve machine performance.
Application/Product Specific Questions
Q: Why do I need a numerical control?
Numerical controls execute part programs, serving as the primary human-machine-interface (HMI) to the cutting operation, and by sending commands to the drives and process equipment, coordinating machine motion.
Q: What is a tracing system?
Burny has developed an advanced video imaging pattern tracing system (CCD) for capturing a full-size part program drawn on paper. The pattern tracing system follows the path of the line, allowing the torches to either simultaneously cut the exact part from material at the same time as the video imaging system captures the identical shape of the part; or it can memorize the shape for cutting the part program at a later time.
Q: What is a drive system?
Servo amplifiers and motors are the "driving" force behind a cutting machine. The drive system interfaces with the CNC controller to mechanically move the machine along the cutting path.
