The retrofit activity of the NDI-Escoffier system involved the removal of metal plates connected to the machine base (supporting the linear guides and racks).
The visible metal surfaces of the foundation were restored by removing unstable outer layers, subsequently treated with rust converter and painted.

Additionally, the following operations were carried out:

• Installation of new metal plates, surface-protected by electro-galvanization, supporting the new linear guides and racks.
• Installation of linear guides, sliders, and racks, pre-treated with chemical nickel plating for surface protection.
• Replacement of pinions on the two motorized groups of the X and X1 axes, mounted on shafts using shrink discs.
• Installation of a new lubrication system with cartridges for gradual lubricant release.
