From ideas come innovations
Exceptional implementations make new successful products possible. Our development department with more than 50 engineers is globally recognised for its exceptional ideas that often result in innovative roll forming technologies. Our product and technology development is here defined by two main directions, the implementation of your particular ideas and the realisation of our innovative concepts.
INDUSTRY 4.0
Everything is developing
well here
Over 40 patents are evidence of our strong position in innovative roll forming strategies. Under the heading “Industry 4.0”, we are pursuing many strategic topics, such as “reproducible properties of roll forming systems”, “new forming processes”, “intelligent frames” or “automated correction of forming processes”.
ROLL FORMING 4.0
When progress is
continuous
We are continuously developing our many unique features for you with the help of special digital technologies: the use of the latest instrumentation in forming production means we obtain new measurement values with which we can implement future-orientated help systems. Key concepts here for our engineers are “availability” and “scrap rate”.
QUICK SETUP
Minimise set-up times,
maximise efficiency gains
With innovative processes, we reduce your setup times to the desired minimum and even below that. One example is the process developed by us in which three operators carry out setup in parallel, with the first operator adjusting the new program of the roll forming system, adapting the axes and replacing the shearing plates on the cut-off machine. The second operator sets up the die on the press or completely replaces it. The third changes the strip on the double uncoiler.
NEW ROLL FORMING IDEAS
Ready for our
unique test centre!
New roll forming ideas can require a complete process development: we can test such new processes for you under realistic conditions in our unique test-centre with 10 testing machines as well as producing prototypes. These prototypes are ideal for your realistic function test. They can even be used to test the market response of your new products at an earlier point in time.
