Reverse engineering for production plants.
Analysis, measurement and technical reconstruction of existing components when original parts are no longer available or economically reasonable.
Reverse Engineering
When original parts are no longer available.
Many components in production plants remain in use for years. If an original part is discontinued, the manufacturer is no longer available or no technical drawing exists, the function of the part still has to be maintained reliably.
TOBEY GROUP supports food production companies with the analysis, measurement and technical reconstruction of existing components. We consider not only geometry, but also function, material, load, hygiene and installation situation.
Understand the component
We analyse the function, installation situation and technical requirements of the existing part.
Measure technically
Dimensions, geometry, material and relevant features are recorded in a structured way.
Develop a solution
The collected data forms the basis for a technically suitable replacement or alternative.
Check practical use
The solution must fit the plant, the application and the requirements of food production.
Scope of service
How we support you.
Reverse engineering combines technical analysis, measurement and application-based solution development.
Analysis of existing parts
We assess existing components by function, wear, material, installation situation and technical requirements.
Measurement & documentation
Relevant dimensions, geometries and features are recorded and documented transparently.
Reproduction & alternatives
If original parts are no longer available, we assess suitable reproductions or technically sound alternatives.
Further development
Existing parts can be adapted or improved where this makes sense for the application, hygiene or service life.
Typical applications
For components where standard solutions are not enough.
Reverse engineering can be useful for discontinued components, missing drawings, worn special parts, individual machine parts, knife holders, guides, adapters, stainless steel components, drive elements or parts for older plants.
The function is central.
What matters is not only how a component looks. What matters is the task it performs in the production process and the conditions under which it is used.
Process
From component to technical solution.
1. Part or sample
You send us a sample, photos, drawings, dimensions or available technical information.
2. Analysis
We examine function, installation situation, material, wear pattern and application requirements.
3. Measurement
Relevant geometric and technical features are recorded in a structured way.
4. Solution path
We assess reproduction, adaptation or alternative components for safe plant operation.
Why TOBEY GROUP
Reverse engineering with the production process in mind.
Simply copying a component is often not enough in food production. Hygiene, cleaning, product safety, load and economic viability must be considered.
That is why we see reverse engineering as a technical task within the context of the entire plant – not as a simple copy of a single part.
