The NBH machine’s old tool-change PC was removed and disconnected, simplifying operation and improving overall system reliability.
The Hüller Hille NBH machine underwent a focused retrofit aimed at improving reliability, simplifying operation, and reducing unnecessary system complexity. As part of this upgrade, the old PC responsible for managing the tool change unit was completely removed. This legacy computer had become increasingly difficult to maintain due to outdated hardware and software dependencies, often causing delays and inconsistencies during tool change operations. By disconnecting it entirely from the main controller, the machine’s control architecture was streamlined, eliminating potential communication faults and reducing points of failure. The retrofit resulted in a cleaner, more efficient setup where the primary controller manages all essential functions with greater stability. Overall, the machine now operates more reliably, with reduced maintenance needs and improved long-term serviceability.
