18 October 2026. Allwin21 provides upgrade kits for Branson/IPC L3200 plasma systems. The kits replace obsolete controllers, displays, electronics, PCBs, pressure control modules, temperature control modules, and other discontinued components while preserving the original process platform.
The upgrade can be performed on-site with minimal facility changes. Existing utility connections remain in place. The upgraded system provides modern PC-based control, a graphical user interface, recipe storage, process data storage, diagnostics, improved reliability, and long-term support.
For a Branson/IPC L3200 in working condition, Allwin21 can normally perform the standard controller/electronics and robotics upgrade at the customer site. For equipment that is not working, has missing or damaged parts, requires significant repair, or requires major new functions, Allwin21 recommends shipping the complete system to Allwin21.
At Allwin21, engineers can evaluate the equipment condition, repair or refurbish the system, install the upgrade and new functions, integrate all subsystems, and fully test the complete equipment before shipment back to the customer.
For non-working or modified systems, Allwin21 can provide an initial estimated quotation based on the available information. The final scope and quotation may be revised after the equipment is received and evaluated.
