Mehr Präzision im Einstellraum
Adäquate Services für Einstellgeräte erhöhen die Produktivität
Prozessoptimierung und Kostenreduzierung sind Themen, die in der zerspanenden Industrie auch in laufenden Projekten eine übergeordnete Rolle spielen. Viele Unternehmen arbeiten eng mit MAPAL zusammen, um hier kontinuierliche Verbesserungen zu erreichen. Neben dem Komplettangebot an Werkzeugen legt der Präzisionswerkzeughersteller einen Fokus auf leistungsfähige und innovative Einstell- und Messgeräte. Denn nur exakt vermessene und eingestellte Werkzeuge erreichen verlässliche präzise Ergebnisse und reduzieren Maschinenstillstände. Maßgeschneiderte, moderne Serviceleistungen erhöhen die Produktivität weiter.
Einstell- und Messgeräte von MAPAL sind in vielen Produktionen unverzichtbare Peripheriegeräte, um die Präzision und Prozesssicherheit der Bearbeitung zu gewährleisten. Die feinfühligen Instrumente haben eine lange Lebensdauer, die ein entsprechender Service noch einmal verlängert. „Wartung und Kalibriervorgänge heben die Geräte immer wieder auf das Niveau eines Neugeräts“, betont Markus Jakob, Teamleiter Customer Service Mechatronische Systeme. „Ein regelmäßiger, auch vorbeugend durchgeführter Service ist angesichts der Bedeutung des Einstellgeräts im Produktionsprozess eine logische Konsequenz.“
MAPAL hat deshalb den Servicebereich rund um die Einstellgeräte evaluiert und komplett überarbeitet. „Präzision schaffen“ und „Präzision sicherstellen“ sind dabei die Oberbegriffe, auf die einzelne Maßnahmen einzahlen. Die Spezialisten stellen die Servicepakete den Kunden im persönlichen Gespräch vor und schneiden sie auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse zu. „Wir steigern mit den neuen Angeboten unsere Servicequalität“, unterstreicht Jakob. „Dazu erweitern wir auch unsere personellen Kapazitäten im Servicebereich und führen intensive Schulungen unserer Techniker durch.“
Fast operational readiness: Creating precision
In order to be able to use a new setting fixture productively as quickly as
possible, various preparatory work must be carried out, which MAPAL specialists
can easily undertake. The commissioning of hardware and software
components is top priority. The connection and alignment of the device are
as much a part of the service as the definition and reporting of measurement
and setting data and basic instructions for the users. The measuring
instrument capability test provides a guarantee and certainty regarding the
required precision and tolerances to be complied with. Existing tools and
corresponding measurement programs can also be created by MAPAL employees
to accelerate the availability and use of the setting fixture. Finally,
MAPAL offers training and further education for various target groups and
requirements in order to ensure efficient work.

Lasting process capability: Ensuring precision
To ensure precision during operation, service modules have also been defined
for this area. During annual maintenance or calibration of the setting
fixture, all relevant features are carefully checked and calibrated; wear
parts get replaced and software updates are carried out. Time can be saved
by optimising the measuring programs. MAPAL employees provide support
with know-how, update the factory data and install new tools. The modernisation
of setting fixtures also contributes to lasting process reliability.
Setting fixtures from MAPAL have a largely modular design and can be
modernised by re-tooling. This ensures that the state of the art is always
available. With the expanded capacities in technical support for setting fixtures,
maintenance can be performed without complication as a response
to user questions both on site and remotely by telephone.

MAPAL provides the right setting
Setting fixtures must ensure reliability, high manufacturing quality and exact
tolerances around the clock in order to guarantee reliable production.
MAPAL’s services, which will be presented at AMB 2018, stand for sustained
precision, full functionality and safe handling of the fixture by the customers’
employees.
