Creating replacement control boards for manufacturing and processing equipment
If you have an important piece of older equipment that’s no longer working reliably, Armistead Technologies can help.
Beyond ethical considerations, there are four important reasons why it’s better to reverse engineer a circuit board.

Maybe you’ve kept a processing or conveyor system running for years, maintaining and repairing it. But now the repairs aren’t holding. The main printed circuit boards (PCBs) are just worn out, and replacement boards are no longer available.

Relax. You have an alternative to replacing the whole system: replacing just the worn-out circuit boards.

We can reverse engineer your machine’s old circuit board, update the design with new components and even expanded capabilities, and manufacture the small quantity of replacement boards you need to put your equipment back on-line.

• Benefits of a reverse engineered replacement PCB:
• Plug-and-go – your new replacement circuit board plugs right into your existing system
• Repairable – updated components make your replacement PC board easier to repair with widely available parts
• Upgradeable – we can add functionality, outputs, sensors, or change the program slightly to broaden your processing capability
• Cost-efficient – extends the working life of your existing machinery
