恩格尔Austria GmbHshares their experience with Unisign in a brand new case study.
恩格尔is a global supplier of machines and automation solutions for injection-moulding processes. With its nine production sites, the company is represented at strategically important locations in Europe, North America and Asia. Three of those production facilities are located in Austria. The company produces small and medium-sized machines at its main factory in Schwertberg, while its robots are produced at its facility in Dietach and large machinery in St. Valentin.
Gerhard Aigner is the company’s Production Manager in St. Valentin and explains how the level of in-house manufacturing is high. “Here in St. Valentin, we also produce the parts and core components for the large machines from our duo range, which are used in the production of large plastic components, particularly for the automotive, teletronics and technical moulding sectors. While the types of components produced include vehicle dashboards for well-known car manufacturers, the frames used in televisions from well-known brands are also produced on ENGEL-duo-machines.”
“很长一段时间我们使用两个单独的机器to machine components for large machines. As Gerhard Aigner explains, “That approach has always allowed us to produce components to a high quality, but over time, the machines themselves had come to the end of their machine life cycle. So, in order to take our production to a higher level, we decided to implement a total solution concept by linking threeUNICOM6000托盘处理和仓储系统的机器 -FastemsFlexible Manufacturing System (FMS).”
“在我们考虑的所有供应商中，Unisign是提出最有效的总解决方案的供应商。”
A one-off contract was issued for the solution as a whole (3x UNICOM with an FMS), and the lead role was entrusted to Unisign.
这三台机器由两名员工操作。正如Gerhard Aigner所解释的那样：“我们的目标是在没有人类监督的情况下尽可能多地工作。钻孔和铣削的总概念使我们变得非常灵活。就我们的观点而言，它代表了一个良好的，具有成本效益的解决方案，可以使我们保持竞争力。”
恩格尔几十年来一直是一个Unisign客户。Gerhard Aigner说：“当这项投资即将到来时，我们立即与Unisign取得了联系。”“我们要做的第一件事是安排约会进行两次参考访问：到奥地利的另一个Unisign客户，并在Panningen中统一。当进行这些访问时，我立刻感觉到了。最重要的是，质量管理系统构成了流程不可或缺的一部分。”
Gerhard继续说：“在我们的参考访问期间，我们能够在单独的幻灯片上看到可自动可部署的测量探针，Unisign为其提供UNICOM6000机器。尽管其他制造商提供具有类似规格的机器，但它们都无法与Unisign的机器保持同步。通过在单独的幻灯片上进行测量探头，Unisign Machine可以进行参考测量，而无需更换工具。这本身就是某些使它脱颖而出并提高质量的东西。”
恩格尔购买的其他其他选项包括扩展的Y轴和较大的垂直间隙。正如Gerhard Aigner所解释的那样，“扩展的Y轴将这些机器变成了能够覆盖显着范围的全方位服务加工中心。”
UNISIGN机器用于加工大型转弯和铣削组件，这些组件是传统的水平转弯机无法以具有成本效益的方式处理的。正如Gerhard Aigner所解释的那样，“这些成分的直径高达2000毫米，重达5吨。使用Unicom6000机器，我们能够以具有成本效益的方式生产90％的产品范围。生产组件时，我们应用非常近的公差。当我们询问他们是否会使用我们的约束力和时间要求在自己的生产设施中为我们进行测试加工时，Unisign甚至没有犹豫。另一方面，其他供应商没有浪费时间来拒绝我们的要求。在初步接受阶段，Unisign在时间和质量方面都满足了我们的所有标准。”
恩格尔’s experiences with Unisign have been very positive, confirms Gerhard Aigner. “Unisign has lived up to its promises. Throughout this project, we have received very good support, including from Unisign’s regional sales and service partner,Steindl, which has actually been providing outstanding service in its role for decades. For us, this after-sales support is an important factor. As a company, we need service technicians to be dispatched quickly, so that we can maintain and if possible, enhance, our high level of technical availability. In that regard, we know we can rely on Unisign and, on a local level, on Steindl, its regional sales and service partner.”
