Premium and Quality Maintenance Programs

Among machinists, Haimer shrinking, balancing and presetting machines are known to be extremely low-maintenance, robust, durable and reliable. But even the highest quality components wear out eventually. The best way to avoid downtime is to have a regular service check from an experienced Haimer application engineer. It's the same idea as giving your car that routine oil change to keep it in tip top shape. Knowing your equipment is in top operating condition gives you much more confidence than just assuming (or hoping) it is.

ROTA NCR-A Sealed 6-Jaw Pendulum Compensation Chuck

The SCHUNK ROTA NCR-A sealed 6-jaw pendulum compensation chuck has special seals at the jaw interface and the piston to keep the grease from being washed out and the clamping force from being gradually lost. Even in the case of low clamping forces, precise functioning of the chuck is ensured, and at the same time the seals ensure than an ingress of chips and dirt into the chuck body is avoided. As a result, process safety increases, and the maintenance intervals extend. This means that the lathe chuck doesn't have to be lubricated or cleaned as often.

Automatic Guided Vehicles

While we still a way to go to achieve autonomous driving on the road, but factories are miles ahead: AGVs (automatic guided vehicles) are already being used in the area of production. They are responsible for intralogistical tasks in production transporting workpieces from unfinished parts to finished parts between the respective stages of production. Here's how raw material makes it into a fully automated production system finished parts exit the system with Liebherr solutions.
