In some instances, a general overhaul can be an alternative to buying a new machine. In which cases does this make sense and in which not? The tube bending machine manufacturer Schwarze-Robitec provides an overview.

Hydraulic and electrical installations as well as the entire machine safety system are newly installed during a general overhaul. This is due to the fact that statutory safety regulations have usually changed since the machine was first put into operation. © Schwarze-Robitec
