Spindles, chucks, rotary tables and rotary tables
Extensive industry knowledge allows mechanical engineers to further broaden their horizons
Machine builders not only offer an advantageous price, but can also make individual adjustments to the dimensions and product features.
In order to respond to these market opportunities at the best possible cost, a wide range of modules and assemblies are increasingly being used to implement individual solutions.
The electromechanical components of these solutions consist of actuators and integrated sensors to ensure that the work task is completed even in confined space conditions. This level of intelligence is enough to accommodate a wide range of installation situations and machine sizes, ensuring that you gain valuable points from the competition.
Handling, transportation and process monitoring
Flexibly implement requirements for production systems
The linkage production system consists of standard machine tools, which are connected by means of intralogistics equipment and recirculating conveyor belts. This is a particularly economical solution, as it enables both high-volume production and the manufacture of a wide range of product variants at a lower cost and with fewer equipment modifications.
At the same time, the so-called small process control technology is always up to date. This is the only way to reliably monitor the loader, ensure the supply of coolant and lubricant and maintain a view of the fluid level in the hydraulic unit. It's crucial that routing changes are implemented well, as product development cycles are getting shorter and routing changes are becoming more frequent.
Tool identification
Automatic identification of tools with the help of industrial RFID systems
With RFID systems, the right data is in the right place at the right time.
Tool parameters such as tool number, diameter and length are transferred to the CNC control system to ensure optimal tool utilization and high machine availability. Downtime monitoring and asset management programs prevent unproductive idling, misallocation of tools, and missing or untimely tool regrinding.
The tool identification solution reads the latest tool status and records all data. This makes it possible to predict future applications. In addition, it optimizes quality and efficiency of production processes, reducing costs and increasing economy.
