“The VISION-III-TT 5‑axis machi­ning cen­ter with ras­te­red HPL table sur­face from Rei­chen­ba­cher has cata­pul­ted our com­pe­ti­ti­ve edge into other sphe­res, both in terms of accu­ra­cy, speed and fle­xi­bi­li­ty. Today I can say that the trickier con­s­truc­tion pro­jects are, the bet­ter for us,” prai­ses Pro­duc­tion Mana­ger Josef Döl­le. And he adds: “Throug­hout Euro­pe, we are invol­ved in pro­jects that others keep their hands off. After all, the more unu­su­al the archi­tects’ designs are, the more com­plex the form­work bodies, which are made of solid wood and clam­ping panels, become.”

“We set up the CNC and ban­ned all the exo­tic machi­nes from the work­shop. Now it’s clamp on, mill, done.”

“We deci­ded on Rei­chen­ba­cher becau­se they have alre­a­dy built plants of this size. They had excel­lent refe­ren­ces and they lis­ten­ed to what we wan­ted as cus­to­mers. Par­ti­cu­lar­ly important in this pro­ject was the need to bring ever­y­thing tog­e­ther; soft­ware, mate­ri­al sup­p­ly and dis­tri­bu­ti­on to the racks which had to be lin­ked in, and so we had to work as a team. Rei­chen­ba­cher were very sup­port­i­ve and it beca­me clear during the rea­li­sa­ti­on peri­od that we had made the right choice.”

“This machi­ne per­mits staff savings of up to 8 peo­p­le. An enorm­ous bene­fit at times of a shorta­ge of skil­led labour”, says Claus Schmid, and his son adds: “We get first-class pla­ning results, as we can work at hig­her speeds and use bet­ter tools. Moreo­ver, the­re is less work invol­ved in manu­al sur­face pla­ning and the dril­ling of holes during final assem­bly is no lon­ger neces­sa­ry, becau­se they have alre­a­dy been made by the dril­ling units. And all this with just one machi­ne operator.”

“The goal was to achie­ve 3–4 steps from raw mate­ri­al to final com­po­nent in a lean 1‑line pro­duc­tion. In addi­ti­on, after the last step, the mil­ling pro­cess, rework should be excluded. This in turn means that the CNC mil­ling machi­nes have to deli­ver rea­dy-to-use edges and eli­mi­na­te sur­face dama­ge during pro­ces­sing, as this is the only way to pro­vi­de the cus­to­mer with a high qua­li­ty stan­dard just in time and install the com­pon­ents direct­ly in the vehicle.”

“We’­ve been working with Rei­chen­ba­cher for some years now and we’­re very, very plea­sed with the results – in fact you could descri­be it as a suc­cessful part­ner­ship. For us, Rei­chen­ba­cher isn’t just a sup­pli­er. We regard the Com­pa­ny as a part­ner who takes spe­cial note of our wis­hes and has an inno­va­ti­ve and fle­xi­ble approach to con­s­truc­ting the machi­nes in accordance with our requirements.”

“For us, Rei­chen­ba­cher is a first-class part­ner. We great­ly app­re­cia­te the fact that they deli­ver on sche­du­le, they have an excel­lent price/performance ratio and they pro­vi­de expert assis­tance when the­re is a pro­blem to be sol­ved in our factory.”

“Our com­pa­ny is con­ti­nu­al­ly chal­len­ged to offer the mar­ket of favour­a­b­ly pri­ced pro­duct that meets the high demands of the auto­mo­ti­ve indus­try. In order to com­ply with the­se requi­re­ments it is natu­ral­ly important to have the appro­pria­te sys­tem tech­no­lo­gy which is fle­xi­ble enough and has a high degree of sys­tem avai­la­bi­li­ty. For this pur­po­se Rei­chen­ba­cher has desi­gned a sophisti­ca­ted sys­tem with an impres­si­ve ran­ge of equipment.”

“Gaug­ler & Lutz oHG was foun­ded in 1983 as a crafts enter­pri­se and tra­ding firm. Today we per­cei­ve our­sel­ves as an indus­tri­al manu­fac­to­ry that offers a com­pre­hen­si­ve pro­duct, manu­fac­tu­ring and ser­vice port­fo­lio. Whe­re mul­ti-axes machi­ning is con­cer­ned, for more than 15 years we have been coun­ting on the expe­ri­ence and com­pe­tence of Rei­chen­ba­cher. As a fle­xi­ble and dyna­mic enter­pri­se we place gre­at value in inno­va­ti­on; here, Rei­chen­ba­cher is our per­fect part­ner. With fly­ing colours Rei­chen­ba­cher has met our demands for digi­tal 3D model machi­nery that incor­po­ra­tes the respec­ti­ve kine­ma­tics and an advan­ce col­li­si­on check.”

“The com­pa­ny Rei­chen­ba­cher has respon­ded to our needs right from the start and has deve­lo­ped and imple­men­ted a tech­ni­cal­ly excel­lent solu­ti­on. This was an important decis­i­on cri­ter­ion for inves­t­ing in a Rei­chen­ba­cher sys­tem. Qua­li­ta­tively we have been able to noti­ce a signi­fi­cant impro­ve­ment in the pro­duc­tion pro­cess right from the start.”

“To ensu­re high-pre­cis­i­on results in dril­ling and mil­ling, a lot has been tried out. But neither the plas­ma nor the water jet cut­ting brought the desi­red result and so it was deci­ded that a CNC machi­ning cen­ter should replace the machi­ning ope­ra­ti­ons with the pil­lar dril­ling machi­nes. The com­pa­ny Rei­chen­ba­cher was the most fle­xi­ble of all and was ulti­m­ate­ly the only com­pa­ny that gua­ran­teed that the holes in a gal­va­ni­zed sheet metal with a CNC machi­ne are precise.”

“The advan­ta­ges of using the VISION-III-ST are clear. For exam­p­le, for the lavish­ly deco­ra­ted capi­tal posts, for which, as we tra­di­tio­nal­ly mil­led by hand, we nee­ded five hours, we are done with the CNC in 30 minu­tes. Depen­ding on the com­po­nent we are fas­ter with a fac­tor of 2 to 8, for exam­p­le when the cheeks are caul­ked or sadd­led. We are real­ly fast, but abo­ve all, the qua­li­ty of the work­man­ship is first-class and, in the very last con­se­quence, that is the most important thing.”

“5‑axis mil­ling was a new tech­no­lo­gy at our loca­ti­on. Con­se­quent­ly, they sought a relia­ble part­ner who not only pro­vi­ded a tail­or-made machi­ne solu­ti­on, but also ensu­red the ful­fill­ment of other pro­cess para­me­ters such as time cal­cu­la­ti­ons, accu­ra­ci­es, tole­ran­ces, machi­ne avai­la­bi­li­ty and inten­si­ve trai­ning cour­ses. Sin­ce the machi­ne manu­fac­tu­rer Rei­chen­ba­cher Hamu­el was a lis­ted sup­pli­er in the group, dis­cus­sions could be held quick­ly and a con­cre­te requi­re­ment pro­fi­le could be defined.”

“We have beco­me much fas­ter and can respond much bet­ter to the acce­le­ra­ti­on in the mar­ket with a ver­ti­cal inte­gra­ti­on of almost 80 %; the qua­li­ty is excel­lent and the effi­ci­en­cy has increased significantly.”

“The qua­li­ty of all com­pon­ents tes­ted in-house is excel­lent. Sin­ce one works with the Rei­chen­ba­cher CNC sys­tem, the­re are no more com­plaints. The 5‑axis machi­ne is more sta­ble, stron­ger, more accu­ra­te and fas­ter than before.”

“They wan­ted a machi­ne desi­gned for at least 15 years or more. The decis­i­on was made in favor of the machi­ne manu­fac­tu­rer Rei­chen­ba­cher. Why was that? “From the very con­s­truc­ti­ve coope­ra­ti­on from the begin­ning,” sums up Frans Son­nem­ans succinctly.”

“We can even machi­ne 320 mm thick and 3,600 mm wide panels up to 14 meters long on the machi­ne thanks to a spe­cial table attach­ment and the nes­t­ing func­tion. In doing so, we push a finis­hed mil­led panel five meters bey­ond the machi­ne table in order to still be able to machi­ne the rear part of the panel in this way. This is pos­si­ble by a so-cal­led coor­di­na­te trans­for­ma­ti­on of the soft­ware. In the case of CLT, such a lar­ge pla­te weighs up to five tons, which we move like other pla­tes via a vacu­um lif­ting system.”

“The OPUS-6K with manu­al beam table and 2‑circuit vacu­um block suc­tion cups is per­fect for us, becau­se we now work with sta­te-of-the-art CNC tech­no­lo­gy. A striking fea­ture is the 6,400 mm con­so­le table, which is equip­ped with LED posi­tio­ning strips to indi­ca­te the posi­ti­on of the car­ri­ers and suc­tion cups. In addi­ti­on to the 5‑axis working head and pick-up sta­ti­on, the­re is also a mul­ti-spind­le dril­ling head with 16 indi­vi­du­al­ly con­troll­able dril­ling spind­les for hole line and con­s­truc­tion drilling.”
