Axis Mechatronics retrofits cylindrical, centreless, surface and internal grinding machines with modern Delta PLC, HMI, VFD and servo control. Same bed, same spindle, same accuracy you paid for — running again, with spares you can actually buy.
Most grinding machines on Indian shop floors are mechanically sound and electrically obsolete. The bed, spindle and slideways were built to last forty years. The relay panel, the drive and the operator controls were not. That gap is the whole of our business. See all machine types.
Four things, and they fit together. A retrofit needs a control upgrade; a control upgrade needs PLC and HMI programming; all of it needs a panel built properly. We do every part of that ourselves, so there is nobody else to blame when the machine has to run. All five services.
The full job on cylindrical, centreless, surface and internal grinders — stripped, redesigned, rewired and proved on your own components.
When the machine is fine but the controls are finished. Relay logic and obsolete drives out, modern control in — without touching the mechanics.
Delta programming written to be read by the next engineer. Commented, structured, and handed over as source — never password-locked.
Built in our own Wadhwan shop to a wiring schedule, ferruled and load tested. Open it in five years and every wire still traces back to the drawing.
Choosing one platform and knowing it deeply beats knowing five of them shallowly. Delta gives our customers parts that are actually available in Gujarat, service costs that make sense for a mid-size shop, and hardware that survives a grinding shop's dust and coolant. More on our Delta work.
Cycle logic, interlocking, sequencing and part counting written to be read by the next engineer.
Screens designed for a shop floor operator, not an engineer — large digits, plain fault text, Gujarati labelling on request.
Spindle, regulating wheel and coolant pump control with repeatable speed setting and soft start.
Infeed and axis positioning with the resolution a grinding cycle actually needs, tuned on the machine.
The sequence matters. Most retrofits go wrong because parts were bought before anyone agreed what the machine should actually do. Full retrofitting service.
We come to your plant, run the machine as it is, check the mechanical condition and note the grinding cycle you need back.
A written scope, a control philosophy and a transparent Delta BOM. You know what you are buying before you commit.
Electrical schematics, panel layout, I/O list and console design. Everything documented before we build.
Panel manufactured and wired in our Wadhwan shop to the schedule, with ferrule numbers matching the drawing.
PLC, HMI, VFD and servo programmed and dry-tested on the bench before the panel goes anywhere near your machine.
Installation, commissioning, trial grinding on your own components, operator training, and the full document set including source code.
Our business runs on completed jobs, not brochures. Ask us for the machine make, the customer and the result on any of these. See all projects.
Relay panel replaced with Delta PLC, servo infeed fitted and auto cycle with spark-out restored on an idle machine.
Obsolete drive package replaced with Delta VFDs and regulating wheel speed brought under repeatable, settable control.
Manual table and down-feed converted to automatic cycle with programmable step-down and cycle end stop.
Our workshop is at Phase 4, GIDC, Wadhwan, Surendranagar. Site work across Gujarat runs from there; for the manufacturing centres below we travel for survey, installation and commissioning. Enquiries are taken from anywhere in India.
Same-week site visits from the Wadhwan workshop.
Auto component, bearing and general engineering clusters.
Coimbatore, Hosur and Bengaluru precision machining belts.
NCR, Punjab and the Indore–Pithampur corridor.
Somewhere not listed? If you have a grinding machine and a component to prove, ask — we travel. Send us the machine details.
The part changes; the machine and the control discipline do not.
We are not generalists who occasionally touch a grinder. Grinding cycles, spark-out, dwell and size holding are the problems we solve every week.
Delta source programs, schematics and I/O lists are handed over. Nothing is locked to keep you dependent on us.
If the bed or spindle is finished, we will tell you a retrofit is a waste of money — even though it costs us the order.
The job is done when your operator grinds a good component unaided on a normal shift, not when our van leaves.
Grinding machine retrofitting means keeping the mechanical body of the machine — the bed, spindle and slideways — and replacing everything electrical and control related around it. Axis Mechatronics strips out obsolete relay logic and unsupported drives, then rebuilds the machine on modern Delta PLC, HMI, VFD and servo control so it runs accurately again with spares that are still available.
We retrofit cylindrical grinders (plain and universal), centreless grinders (through-feed and in-feed), surface grinders and internal grinders. We also take on imported or orphan machines where the original supplier no longer offers support, by reverse-engineering the grinding cycle from the machine itself.
Cost depends on the machine size, the number of axes to be automated and the condition of the mechanics, so we quote only after a machine survey. As a guide, a control retrofit is usually a fraction of the price of replacing the machine with a new one. Send photos of the machine and its nameplate on WhatsApp for an initial assessment.
Most grinding machine retrofits are completed in a few weeks from approval, covering design, panel building, programming, installation and commissioning. The exact schedule is confirmed after the machine survey and depends on component lead times.
Delta hardware is reliable, competitively priced and — most importantly for a plant in Gujarat — spare modules are readily available locally. That means your machine stays serviceable long after handover instead of becoming obsolete again. We work with Delta DVP and AS series PLCs, DOP-100 and DOP-B HMIs, MS300, MH300 and C2000 VFDs, and ASDA servo drives.
Sometimes the old machine really is finished — and sometimes the machine you need was never built in the first place. We supply new grinding machines, and we build new special purpose machines to your own component and cycle time.
Tell us the part, the tolerance you need to hold and the output you are after, and we will come back with options rather than a catalogue.
