If you have a G24, CNC99, CNC1000 or CNC2000 with a mechanical structure that is still in good working condition you can upgrade your existing Automec backgauge control to a CNC 9×9, CNC 150, CNC 300, CNC 600 or PC 800. We will need to know the serial number of your backgauge so we can configure the control correctly. Cables, mounting hardware, manual and ram switch provided. Please see brochures for more backgauge control technical specifications. Please know that CNC 99, 1000, 2000, and G24 controls are obsolete and no longer can be serviced if they fail. For more information on pricing and Tech specs, please contact us at 781-893-3403, press 1 or email sales@automec.com.

Installation Requirements: AC Power Requirements: Automec gauging systems require 105 to 125VAC, 60HZ at 7 AMPS on an isolated line. If this power is not available a 2.0 KVA step down transformer should be used. Do NOT use pres brake control transformer. Supplying this power to the system is the end user responsibility.
Floor Anchoring: Some Automec systems require anchoring to the floor. This function is not performed by the Automec installer and is the responsibility of the end user.
