Standard machines

Modern manufacturing companies are often faced with the question of which machines are best suited to producing their components and products. The decision for standard machines or custom solutions ultimately depends on case-specific criteria. In consequence, the appropriate strategy must always be determined individually.

Due to their flexible application options, standard machines usually offer the best solution for a high component variance. In some cases, however, it may be necessary to integrate additional tool systems into the production process.

Our approach to standard mechanical engineering

For more than 50 years, we have been supporting companies as a competent development partner in the field of joining non-ferrous metals. Based on this experience, our standard machines are robust and powerful systems that meet the latest technical requirements.

For the mechanical production of our standard machines, we use CNC-controlled 5-axis milling machines, 3+2-axis milling machines and 3-axis milling machines as well as grinding, turning and eroding machines. A dedicated team takes care of the mechanical assembly of the components. Electrical assembly is the responsibility of our switch cabinet construction staff. From design to implementation, centralized and decentralized bus system architectures are used.

We use Siemens S7 and TIA Portal as the basis for the controls and software of our machines. These can be replaced by other suitable systems, if required. Our software is implemented using approved and functional blocks with subsequent parameterization. This enables us to guarantee short commissioning times and a standardized HMI for all systems. Quality data and process parameters are transferred to your in-house MES software and databases via our STRUNK MES. We also use this SQL-based system as our own MES protocol for internal line communication.
