Obsolete Control Hardware
Replacement boards, displays, keyboards or storage devices are no longer available or are increasingly expensive.
Modern Controls for Proven Machinery
Control Retrofits That
Extend Machine Life.
Replace obsolete controls with a modern CYBELEC solution while preserving the mechanical value of a dependable press brake or shear.
Modernize the control. Preserve the machine.
A Practical Alternative to Replacing the Entire Machine
A well-built machine can remain mechanically productive long after its original CNC control becomes obsolete. Branin Automation evaluates the complete application—control, axes, feedback, hydraulics, electrical interface and safety—to develop a retrofit that improves usability and restores long-term supportability.
Future SupportMove away from obsolete electronics and difficult-to-source parts.
Easier OperationModern touchscreen programming and clearer operator workflows.
Renewed ReliabilityReplace aging control hardware and correct interface problems.
Application IntegrationCoordinate axes, hydraulics, feedback and safety around the machine.
When a Retrofit Makes Sense
Keep the Machine You Trust—Replace the Technology Holding It Back
A retrofit is often worth considering when the machine frame and hydraulics remain serviceable but the original control has become the primary source of downtime, limitations or operator difficulty.
Recurring Electronic Failures
Intermittent faults, failed amplifiers, unstable feedback or aging cabinet components repeatedly interrupt production.
Difficult Programming
Operators struggle with dated interfaces, limited graphics, unavailable offline tools or complicated setup procedures.
New Production Requirements
The machine needs improved usability, additional capability, better documentation or updated safety integration.
CYBELEC Control Solutions
Control Options Matched to the Machine and Application
Branin Automation has worked with CYBELEC applications since 2014. The correct control is selected around the machine type, number of axes, hydraulic interface, feedback devices, safety requirements and the way your operators need to work.
CYBELEC Control PartnerApplication review, installation, commissioning, training and ongoing support.
Advanced Graphical Control
VisiTouch MX
Advanced graphical control for demanding bending applications, complex programming and expanded machine capability.
Touchscreen Control
CybTouch 15
A modern graphical control option for synchronized press brake applications that prioritizes straightforward programming and operation.
Application-Specific Options
CybTouch Family
Compact control solutions may be available for press brakes, shears and other applications depending on the machine configuration.
Final control selection and available features are application-dependent and confirmed only after technical review of the machine.
Complete Retrofit Scope
More Than Replacing a Screen
A successful retrofit requires the new control to work correctly with the machine’s existing mechanical, hydraulic, electrical and safety systems. Depending on the application, our scope can include:
01Machine and application assessmentReview of axes, valves, encoders, scales, drives, I/O and operating requirements.
02Control and electrical integrationCabinet updates, wiring, interfaces, power supplies and replacement control hardware.
03Axis, hydraulic and feedback setupConfiguration, direction checks, calibration, tuning and machine-specific parameters.
04Safety integrationCoordination with existing guarding or new DSP laser safety equipment where appropriate.
05Commissioning and trainingRunoff, production verification, operator instruction and basic maintenance guidance.
Our Retrofit Process
A Structured Path From Obsolete to Operational
Technical Assessment
We collect machine data, drawings, photos and operating requirements, then evaluate the existing control and interfaces.
Engineering & Proposal
We define the recommended control, scope, exclusions, optional upgrades and expected installation requirements.
Installation & Commissioning
The system is installed, configured, calibrated and tested with the machine through safe operating and production cycles.
Training & Support
Operators receive practical instruction, and Branin Automation remains available for future field and remote support.
Program Away From the Machine
Offline Programming Available
Compatible control packages can include offline programming, allowing bend programs to be prepared and reviewed away from the press brake. This can reduce machine-side programming time, support job preparation and help keep production equipment focused on making parts.
Software availability and features depend on the selected control and application.
Hands-On Retrofit Experience
Real Components. Real Installations. Practical Results.

Legacy & New Control Applications
Modern Controls for Obsolete and Non-CNC Machines
We upgrade many types of aging controls—including older DELEM and CYBELEC DNC 60/880 systems—and can add a modern control to suitable machines that were never equipped with one.
Machine-Specific Control Evaluation
We assess the machine, application and existing interfaces before recommending the control, electrical integration, axis setup, commissioning and training scope.
