It has never been easier, faster and cheaper for your customers to upgrade to a new GE Fanuc system. The process is simple. Matching module to module in long, out-of-date spreadsheet is no longer required. Sending the old hardware to GE Fanuc to obtain the credit is no longer required. Just follow a few simple steps and guidelines, dispose of the old hardware, and you are on your way to receive the credit.

In addition to the Series 90™ systems, now you can also trade in for a new VersaMax™ PLC, VersaMax Micro, VersaMax Nano, and OCS system.

The Trade-IN program gives Series One™, Series One Jr, Series Three™, Series Five™, and Series Six™ users the opportunity to upgrade to the latest GE Fanuc technology. It also gives you a tool to replace competitors systems with a new GE Fanuc system.
