HOW NOT TO DO A RETROFIT OF A TURRET PRESS

Start with an out of production machine that is given to you on the recommendation from an individual who is a PE known throughout the industry for providing service on this obsolete machine who you happen to find out is in deep doo doo with the IRS.
Cut a check for the rigging of the machine out of the plant and the transportation to your facility.
Cut a check to the PE for $80K to provide new motors, drives, and a control to retrofit machine.
Wait 18 months while the PE goes on a drunken trip to Mexico.
Call us. And tell use us to try to use the PE's recommended control.
Spend enough in total to purchase an excellent current model turret press with servo ram and more speed.
Have the ability to show off to your friends your 'new' machine that won't operate faster then the original.

THIS IS SAD, WAS A WASTE OF OUR RESOURCES, WE ARE PROUD TO GIVE THE PARTICULARS TO ANYONE INTERESTED.
