Reduce operating costs – longer service life and greater efficiency

The challenge

High operating costs in production

Wear, friction and frequent maintenance
Heavy wear, high frictional forces and unreliable material pairings lead to an increased need for maintenance, lubricants and spare parts. Processes become more unstable and require more frequent interventions.

Rising running costs
Unplanned downtimes, regular tool changes and high consumption of operating materials drive up costs significantly during operation. Energy requirements also rise due to increased friction and inefficient processes.

Strained efficiency
More wear means more spare parts, more maintenance time and more personnel costs. This reduces system availability, extends cycle times and reduces overall system efficiency.

Falling efficiency and rising resource consumption
Increasing costs and the high use of materials and energy mean that both efficiency and sustainability in the production process are deteriorating – a clear competitive disadvantage in cost-critical manufacturing environments.

Typical problem areas with High operating costs:

    • Toolmaking:
       Pressing tools, roller burnishing tools, punching and forming tools, clamping technology & clamping systems, measuring equipment
    • Automotive:
      Drive components, clamping technology, piston pins, shafts, bearings, components with boundary lubrication conditions, pumps, valves, electric motor bearings
    • Semiconductors:
      Wafer chucks, grinders, drive components, pick & place systems, gripper fingers, transport systems, valve seats e.g. sealing surfaces, wafer handling components, precision bearings, transport rollers and guide elements
    • Optics industry:
      Protection of molds, embossing tools & rollers and production components in general
    • Pharmaceutical industry:
      Embossing dies & tableting tools, pistons and valves, screw conveyors, dosing units, guide elements, bearings
    • Minting industry:
      Coin dies, textured dies, plating rollers, smooth and textured rollers, embossing rollers
