BMAXX 5000 Drives

Outdated drives are a ticking clock on your MASTERFLEX production line. Upgrading to the BMAXX 5000 series eliminates obsolescence risk, secures spare part availability, and keeps your printing units running.

The Question Isn’t If. 
It’s When.

BMAXX-5000-Drives-maturity-curve

Parvex printing cylinders and BUG/BUS drives are reaching end of life—and when they fail, spare parts may no longer exist. 

The BMAXX 5000 retrofit replaces your aging drive system before a breakdown makes the decision for you, available module by module or as a full-machine update at preferential rates.

One Upgrade: Two Compelling Reasons

Protect Your Production

Aging drives don’t fail on a convenient schedule. A proactive upgrade to BMAXX 5000 eliminates your exposure to unpredictably long, costly breakdowns. 

Secure Your Spare Parts Pipeline

End-of-life electronics stop being manufactured. Upgrading now guarantees parts availability and keeps your complete line serviceable for years to come.
