Flexline – One Piece Flow
Increasing synergy effects in a second cycle
Efficient gear manufacturing with an ideal tact. All process steps are synchronized perfectly. The automation process is integrated seamlessly.
Machine, Work Holding, Tooling and Automation including integrated quality control for every single process Reishauer and Felsomat have redefined, with our comprehensive core competence, the interaction of the technologies in the process chain of gear manufacturing.
The Task
We have combined all process technologies into one complete system. Every process step is integrated into the seamless, continuous-flow production process, thereby streamlining the production line and drastically reducing throughput time and work in process.
The Production Equipment
A comprehensive product portfolio consist of:
- Green Turning (FTC)
- Gear Hobbing with Chamfering and Deburing (FHC)
- Joining and Laser Welding (FLW)
- Vacuum Case Hardening and Annealing (SynchroTherm)
- Hart Turning and Grinding (FTC)
- Gear Honing (FPSH)
- Gear Grinding (Reishauer RZ FL)
including the required material handling ( buffer cells with gantries, palletized conveyors, SPC/NOK statioins, manual or auto loading).
Turnkey with out interface, complete from one source.
The Result
The result is a highly efficient integrated production system, consisting of interchangeable technology modules and automation components. This results in the lowest cost per part and best return on investment, without compromising process reliability or quality.
