Modernization - Legacy Upgrade

Upgrading your legacy systems may seem daunting, but with ONYX the process can be manageable and rewarding. We start with a well-defined plan and take a systematic approach to execute it. It’s time to upgrade when the manufacturer no longer supports the components, new parts are no longer available, and you are looking on Ebay or after market sources for your replacement parts. Our engineers are certified and experienced in most legacy systems. Let us help you upgrade them today making you compliant to current standards and regulations. After a successful upgrade, it is the best opportunity to train employees on modern controls. You no longer need to rely on high senior staff expertise for legacy repairs. They can spend their time more effectively.

Motion Control Projects

Listed is a small selection of general motion control projects that we have successfully completed: 
  • Integrated a 3-axis gantry loader/unloader for a plastic injection mold press.
  • An aluminum-pouring turntable to unload aluminum castings.
  • Controlled a gantry loader for castings.
  • Programmed a 6-station dial machine to mill, drill, rough bore, and finish bore automotive components using a 4-axis motion controller.
  • Coordinated two axis press unloader to press motion.
  • Integrated 7 servomotors and amplifiers to motion controller cards for high-speed die lifter and de-stacker application in excess of 18 SPM.
  • Integrated a 3-axis servo gantry molten aluminum shot pourer.
  • Engineered and commissioned a 5-axis servo turnover automation.

Asset Management and Version Control

Effective asset management is crucial, especially as control system networks expand and include a wider range of unique components. Manufacturers pursuing digital transformation often face the challenge of managing assets from different eras, each at varying stages of their lifecycle and with limited compatibility with newer technologies. ONYX adopts a consultative approach to asset and change management, focusing on your existing workflows, processes, and business objectives. We go beyond simply implementing technology; we establish procedures that ensure the technology delivers results closely aligned with your vision and priorities.
