Guaranteeing precision:
re-aligning the chamfer or the production system
Numerous external influences such as severe temperature fluctuations in the machine environment or changes in the floor conditions where the machine is located can lead to deviations from the specified tolerances (deviations from the machining tolerances). In this special case, the solution is to realign the chamfer of the production system. Our experts and technicians can do this for you with their equipment designed for this purpose, giving you outstanding precision once again.
- Optimization of machining tolerances
- Chamfer re-alignment
- Production system re-alignment
Retrofitting solutions:
updating your production system
Retrofitting: Upgrading/retrofitting modules - Expanding components
One of the greatest advantages of the ACS® ACS production systems is the ability to adapt flexibly to changing requirements. The modular design of the RATTUNDE technology offers numerous options for optimizing and expanding existing capacities as well as adapting them to new product lines.
Would you like to add a stacking unit (a packing system for stacking finished workpieces) to your production system? Do your products need to be cleaned/washed, dried, and/or measured? Does the increasing digitalization of production present new challenges for you, e.g. with regard to OPC UA, machine data acquisition, Level 2 integration, Industry 4.0, etc.? No problem - we provide you with comprehensive support in the implementation of such requirements. A software update can also be the key to success. We continuously develop our software and hardware on the basis of the latest research, enabling you to update or upgrade your existing technology to reflect the state of the art.
It is also possible to combine RATTUNDE technology with our customers’ own or external systems and components. We support you in the integration of hardware and software, and provide any related special designs and programming (e.g. laser engraving, ultrasonic inspection/testing, color recognition, workpiece weight monitoring, transfer to welding or alignment lines, operating data acquisition and analysis, etc.). In addition, you can also integrate a wide variety of safety devices such as fences, light curtains and similar features, or adapt your system to revised machinery directives (EC).
We’ll find the appropriate solution for whatever you need. We will be happy to prepare a quotation for you, and review
and discuss the technical details in depth with you.
Relocation service:
Machine relocation and return to service made easy -
we’ve got you covered!
Are you planning to relocate your production in a new facility, or are you restructuring it? Would you like to redesign the material flow or the material infeed, so that your ACS® production system must be transferred to another location? Relocating complex, weighty structures that can’t be easily moved around requires experience, expertise and special equipment. The change in location must be well organized and meticulously executed. We offer comprehensive relocation services and manage all the planning, organization and execution. After relocation we re-commission the production system and return it to you with the usual outstanding quality and precision.
