Reliable information – positioning yourself for the future

End of Life / Product Discontinuations at ACI

The product discontinuation process is also part of a product’s life cycle. Due to technical developments and the limited availability of certain components from suppliers, we replace selected systems and modules with modern successor solutions after many years of reliable service.

When technologies change, we provide you with professional and forward-looking support – with a clear schedule and the goal of making your production future-proof.

Our customers have trusted ACI for decades – and that will remain the case. With modern technology, partnership-based consulting, and sustainable solutions, we work together to secure your future.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about discontinuation

What should I do if my laser system is affected?

If your system is a discontinued product, we recommend that you contact our sales team as soon as possible. Together, we will analyze your application, plan the transition and present you with a suitable successor solution – individual, efficient and future-proof.

Why is a product discontinued?

Due to technical developments and the limited availability of certain components from suppliers, we are replacing selected systems and modules with modern successor solutions after many years of reliable use.

How does ACI inform about a product discontinuation?

We will inform you transparently and in good time about upcoming product discontinuations on this page – usually with sufficient lead time to enable planning, technical clarification and a smooth transition to a suitable successor solution.

Can I continue to use my existing system?

Yes, in principle, existing systems can continue to be operated. However, we recommend checking the medium-term availability of spare parts and support and planning the changeover with our sales team at an early stage.

Are spare parts or repair options still available?

We will continue to offer spare parts and services as long as they are available. However, due to delivery difficulties or discontinuations by our suppliers, this cannot be guaranteed. We therefore recommend changing systems in good time – please contact our sales team.

Will ACI support me with the changeover?

Yes – our sales team is on hand to advise you. Together, we will analyze your existing application and find a successor solution that fits technologically, economically and functionally.

What are the advantages of switching to a modern system?

Modern systems offer improved performance, greater integration into digital processes, an extended range of functions and long-term availability of spare parts – in short: future-proofing for your production.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you that everything went so well with your service here in Japan. We changed 5 lasers from hardware dongle to software dongle, and the communication with your service department here was very good.

The laser works well and we have done so good work with it. The camera is a wonderful tool for small jobs like jewellery pieces. The staff that use the fibre laser really like it and enjoy producing work they are proud of.

Perfect product coupled with excellent service, an exceptionally competent team and the nicest boss ever, who is always ready to give his all for his company. Highly recommended.

We have been using ACI’s laser system for many years and are very happy with it.

STILLE Präzisionsmesstechnik GmbH | M. Leipold

Commercial Director

The support in the form of free-of-charge sample markings for new projects always goes without a hitch and is provided incredibly quickly; the quality of the documentation saves us work and time later on when we come to implement the project. We have been using ACI laser systems since 2015 and will happily testify to the high quality of the equipment.

Head of Process development and tool, jig & fixture manufacturing

We have been using ACI’s reliable lasers since 2005, and whenever we embark on a new project, I am always pleased with the expert advice we are given, the rapid response times, the fair prices and the excellent support. Fantastic service all round!
