Retorfit FAQ’s

A CNC retrofit is the process of upgrading the control systems and key components of your existing cutting machine—such as a plasma cutter or oxy-fuel system—without replacing the entire unit. Retrofitting extends the machine’s lifespan, improves cutting precision, and integrates the latest motion control and CAD/CAM software, helping your operation stay competitive with minimal downtime.

What is a CNC retrofit and how does it benefit my industrial plasma cutting system?

Can I retrofit my current cutting table with the latest CNC plasma cutting technology?

Yes. Hornet Cutting Systems specializes in CNC retrofit solutions for legacy plasma and oxy-fuel machines. Our team evaluates your current cutting table and upgrades components such as the CNC controller, drive motors, gearboxes, and torch height control. This transforms your system into a high-performance industrial plasma cutter without the full cost of new equipment.

How much does a CNC cutting system retrofit cost compared to buying a new machine?

A CNC retrofit is a highly cost-effective alternative to purchasing a brand-new plasma or waterjet cutting machine. Retrofitting typically costs 40–60% less than new systems, while delivering performance comparable to modern industrial plasma cutters. You retain your existing machine frame while upgrading key technologies for improved cut quality and productivity.
