Retrofitting existing production technology can offer a strategic advantage in precision manufacturing. In a detailed discussion, Christian Schurr, plant manager at EWS Weigele GmbH & Co. KG, reveals the success of retrofitting the VSC 400 DDS for the hard machining of gear wheels and bevel gears. This approach has proven to be the right step for the company to maintain precision and reliability.
Key benefits highlighted include short restart times, increased machine availability, and the assurance of consistent, high-quality output, particularly in small batch production. Schurr’s insights provide a comprehensive look at the technical, organisational, and strategic importance of modern retrofit concepts in CNC manufacturing.
By opting for a targeted retrofit rather than acquiring new machinery, EWS Weigele GmbH & Co. KG has succeeded in updating their production line without compromising on the core values of precision and process reliability. This case study serves as a practical example for other manufacturing operations looking to enhance efficiency and maintain high standards.
For those interested in the detailed strategic approach of EWS Weigele GmbH & Co. KG, further insights can be found in the complete interview published on the EMAG blog. It outlines the positive impact that a well-executed retrofit can have on operational performance.
EWS Weigele GmbH & Co. KG continues to innovate within the CNC manufacturing sector, demonstrating that with the right strategy, existing assets can be leveraged to meet contemporary market demands efficiently.
