What is a controller retrofit?
Machine types we retrofit
Each machine type needs its own control logic and I/O setup. Send us your model and we will match the controller to it.
Toggle type
Clamp, mold height and ejection sequences, plus injection and temperature control, on toggle clamp machines.
Ram type (hydraulic)
Pressure and flow control for hydraulic ram machines, so older hydraulics run with modern, repeatable settings.
Vertical type
Control for vertical machines, including insert molding work and the movements of rotary or shuttle tables.
Two platen
Controls for large-tonnage two-platen machines, including clamping and mold protection logic.
Two color (double color)
Coordinated control of two injection units and the mold rotation or transfer between shots.
Bakelite
Temperature and timing control for bakelite (thermoset) molding, including the cycle steps this process needs.
Controllers we fit
The right one depends on your machine type, the number of inputs and outputs, motion and servo needs, and your budget.

Frequently asked questions
What is an injection molding machine controller retrofit?
It is the replacement of an old or failing control system, including the controller, HMI, I/O modules and wiring, with a modern one. The machine's mechanical and hydraulic parts stay in place while control, accuracy and usability improve.
Which controllers does The Plastic Point use for retrofits?
We use Arcuchi, B&R, Inovance and Techmation controllers. The right choice depends on machine type, I/O count, motion and servo needs, and budget.
Which injection molding machines can be retrofitted?
Toggle, ram-type (hydraulic), vertical, two-platen, two-color (double color) and Bakelite machines can be retrofitted.
Can you retrofit any brand of injection molding machine?
Yes. We have hands-on experience with all kinds of injection molding machine brands. Send machine details on WhatsApp at +91 9990044101 for a recommendation.
How many injection molding machines have you retrofitted?
More than 1000 in the last 10 years, across many machine brands and types.
Do you give a warranty on retrofit work?
Yes. All our products and services carry a minimum 1-year warranty.
Do you provide retrofit services outside India?
Yes. We are based in Faridabad, Haryana, India, and provide controller retrofit services worldwide. Contact us on WhatsApp at +91 9990044101 with your machine details.
When should I retrofit instead of buying a new machine?
Retrofit makes sense when the machine's mechanical structure is sound but the controller is obsolete, spare parts are unavailable, or breakdowns are frequent. If the frame, tie bars or clamping unit are badly worn, a new machine may be the better option.
