Old drives can be replaced with modern units, thereby improving reliability and eliminating problems with the unavailability of spare parts.

In addition, older DC drives of shafted presses can be replaced with new DCS880 drives or modern AC technology resulting in a reduction of maintenance costs.

For shaftless drives ABB can offer modular retrofit solutions for drive systems based on Sercos II/ Sercos III, CANopen and EtherCAT.
