BARDONS & OLIVER LAUNCHES MACHINERY REBUILDING AND RETROFITTING PAGES ON WEBSITE

Solon, Ohio...Bardons & Oliver, a leading manufacturer of CNC turning systems and tube and bar cut-off equipment for almost 120 years, announces the launch of two new sections to the Bardons & Oliver website. The first focuses on Machine Rebuilding and the second focuses on CNC Retrofit and Control Retrofit projects.

Brian Lane, Vice President Sales and Marketing for Bardons & Oliver, noted "In these challenging times, companies who may opt to delay purchasing new equipment may find that having Bardons & Oliver rebuild their existing equipment or retrofit new GE Fanuc controls, a Fanuc robot or add loaders or unloaders to existing systems is a cost-effective option. In many cases, these upgrades can provide efficiency benefits that far outweigh the cost."

The Machine Rebuild section of the Bardons & Oliver website showcases some of the rebuilds that B&O has completed with five "before and after" image galleries. The image galleries focus on a Cincinnati Millcron Slant Bed Lathe, a LeBlond NC Turret Lathe, two different Warner & Swassey Slant Bed Lathes and a Motch Vertical Turning Lathe. The image galleries have detailed captions that reveal each step undertaken in completing the rebuilds on the five machines. The Machine Rebuilds section is available here.

The Machine Retrofitting section of the Bardons & Oliver website includes images documenting some of the improvements B&O engineers and technicians can make to older machines. Scroll through to see how Bardons & Oliver can add GE Fanuc controls including the new Series 32i. The Retrofitting section is available here.
