Like computers, which have an average life of 4-5 years after whcih they may be replaced due to technological changes, ATMs are also required to change which depend on their usage, technological change etc.. But no where is mentioned the averaged period after which one should to replace it by a new ATM. I want to know about it.

ATM machines have a life of 3 years, after that they are mated with other ATM to produce coin counters. Each year they shorne and this produces wire wool. After that they allowed to roam the feild for a peacefull exsistance. They can live up to 7 years

The software gets updated, that's all, the look and feel has to remain the same. If 'front end' changed people who use them will probably get confused. Banks will be printing instructions every time an ATM format changes. the hard ware is they same, there is no need to change a key pad unless it is broken. I have seen flashy colour screen buts thats all.

Arvind G,
You want your ATM working in the best manner possible. If it's working good and you have had it inspected on a regular basis. I would say maybe 6-7 years is a target of time for you.
