Even if durability and robust construction are key features of the mbk machines, there comes a point when appropriate modernisation measures must be considered. Technical progress continues at a rapid pace, so that older cage welding machines can no longer ensure the customary stable production processes and the competitive advantage that has been built up over many years may be jeopardized. Older cage welding machines not only bring the risk of machine downtime, but also obsolescence and difficulty in obtaining spare parts that are no longer available on the market. However, it is not always necessary to replace the complete machine. By making various upgrade steps (retrofit actions), an optimisation process can be achieved up to automation level that corresponds to the current state of the art and significantly increases the efficiency of the system.
