Field Upgrades
|
T-TEK's earliest projects included modifications to competitors palletizers done on the customers site with minimal downtime. These projects have varied over the years from replacing a processor to stripping a machine down to frame, repainting, and installing all new, upgraded components. It may be done to speed up a piece of equipment, upgrade the technology, run a new product, increase the safety, or improve the diagnostics. T-TEK has modified equipment originally built by many manufacturers including Alvey, Wyard, Production Automation (PAI), vonGal, Columbia, SECO, and many others. A short list of common modifications include: |

Top of the Machine Upgrade - T-TEK removes the divider, all pattern forming components and roller beds from your palletizer as it sits in your plant. We replace them with pre-fabricated, upgraded T-TEK components, wire them, test them, and run in production. This can be done in as little as 4 days of down time!
Hydraulic Upgrade - T-TEK removes the existing hydraulic tank, hoses, and actuators from the machine in place and upgrades to our T-TEK Hydraulic System. This can be done over a long weekend.
Servo Upgrade - T-TEK removes all hydraulic components and upgrades them to electric processes on site. The upgraded machine will be more consistent and handle a wider variety of product. If your plant has difficulties with hydraulics, our Servo Upgrade might be for you.

Depalletizer Upgrades - T-TEK has upgraded a variety of manufacturer's depalletizers in the field. Modifications to the sweep system, hoist, processor, or matt can all be done in the plant.
Processor Upgrades - We remove the old processor, clean the panel, run new wire where needed, and put back the latest appropriate processor. This can usually be done over a long weekend. This is a great way to extend the life of your equipment and get you in step with the technology cycle.
Safety Upgrades - Many current pieces of equipment do not have up to date safety functions. T-TEK can review your current machine and upgrade it to current safety levels.
Remote Operator Panels - Touchscreen technology has come a long way over the past 10 years. Older machines with a one line display can be updated to touchscreens with more capability to share information to operators and maintenance personnel.
Pattern Additions - The life blood of manufacturing is the ability to change. New products are being created all the time and one may require capability that your palletizer does not have. T-TEK frequently reviews a wide variety of equipment for the ability to run new products and pallet patterns. We then add the needed pattern forming components, program and run on schedule.
