Solutions To Down Time And Maintenance In Manufacturing Assembly Lines Manufacturing assembly lines are the backbone of modern production, driving efficiency and scalability in countless industries. However, one of the most significant challenges faced by these systems is downtime and maintenance. This blog post will delve into the root causes of downtime in assembly lines, explore its impact, and propose effective solutions, including the integration of Omtec ball transfers as a potential game-changer. Understanding Downtime and Maintenance What is Downtime? Downtime refers to periods when a manufacturing assembly line is not operational due to various factors. It can be categorized into several types: Scheduled Downtime: Planned interruptions for routine maintenance, upgrades, or changeovers. Unscheduled Downtime: Unexpected interruptions caused by machine breakdowns, operational issues, or external factors. Minor Downtime: Short-term interruptions that may be due to small issues or quick fixes. Major Downtime: Extended periods of inactivity due to significant breakdowns or repairs. Why Does Downtime Occur? read more https://lnkd.in/gy5F4Gxf #manufacturing #manufacturingequipment #manufacturingengineer #conveyorsolutions #conveyors #conveyorequipment #materialhandling #materialhandlingequipment #balltransfers #ergonomics #processengineer #engineering

How we realized a complex retrofit project for an old HYDRAULIC TANDEM PRESS LINE. During my business trip to the USA this year, an interesting opportunity came up. I was invited for a customer stamping press training. Besides improving knowledge, it was helpful to have a professional on site to evaluate the old installed press systems. For us, this shows the importance of being well-connected and well-known in the industry. So, what happened with this old Muller-Weingarten tandem line? Often, it's the same question – is it worth investing in a #retrofit, or is a new, more expensive press the better option? Besides the customer training program, I was asked to visit the tandem line to check its condition. The goal was to retrofit it to improve production capacity and OEE. The project presented a special challenge: Completely #retrofitting the tandem line while improving speed, precision, and overall performance - all without starting from scratch, and keeping costs attractive. This meant navigating some complex requirements: ↳ Adapting all line electrical and mechanical interfaces ↳ Compliance with US regulations ↳ Realizing all interfaces of the legacy automation ↳ Extremely limited space for implementing customer-specific requirements ↳ Achieving higher dynamics and precision with improved comfort and modern control systems After a thorough evaluation, I provided detailed recommendations and identified key conceptual weaknesses to address during the retrofit. What happened after that? I secured this project, which was handed over to my business partner NORDA S.p.A. (Italian automation supplier) for realization. Next month, commissioning begins. This case highlights the importance of networking and collaboration in our industry. By staying connected and sharing expertise, we can unlock new business opportunities and deliver innovative solutions. If you have any questions about retrofitting, I'm happy to discuss them in the comments. Share your thoughts! #PressTechnology #Engineering #ProductionEfficiency #MORITZEngineeringGmbH

It’s time for #WeEnableWednesday. Today we will explore how CoorsTek enables precision and quality— not only in the components we make, but in numerous other technologies! While our ceramics go into thousands of systems and applications that improve the daily lives of people around the world, we also provide solutions to guarantee precision and accuracy in systems and components we DON’T make. Our ceramic precision fixed gauges are designed to provide precise and repeatable measurements in various manufacturing and industrial processes. They are used to measure dimensions of components or parts to ensure they meet the required specifications. So, the next time you enter the rabbit hole of wondering “how things work”, consider the level of exactitude required to make the equipment that makes the equipment that makes the product! It’s entirely possible the technology you are using right now was enabled by a precision measurement tool like the ones made by CoorsTek.
