SCHNEEBERGER Mineralgusstechnik has been successfully represented in various industries for many years with its in-house developed components made of mineral casting. Compared to other materials, mineral casting in mechanical engineering offers several remarkable advantages. Customer benefits The primary customer benefit of SCHNEEBERGER mineral casting is the variety of applications for machines of all conceivable sizes. Mineral casting is not only less expensive than gray cast iron, for instance, but also demonstrates five to ten times better vibration behavior and high chemical resistance. Furthermore, because the polymer concrete (gravel with synthetic resin as a binding agent) is only cast at approximately 60 °C connecting parts, pipes and cables, as well as sensor systems and measuring technology can also be cast into the structures. Example of a machine bed A look at the shape of a machine bed for an electrical discharge system prior to casting shows some of the above-mentioned…

The high-precision MINIRAIL miniature guideway from SCHNEEBERGER is small in size, but large in terms of its possibilities. MINIRAIL is a high-tech linear bearing that will impress you with its precision, robustness and versatility. Expandable if required with an integral measuring system and long-term lubrication. Customer benefits MINIRAIL are perfectly suited miniature guideways to achieve the highest accuracy in the tightest of spaces. The accelerations possible go up to 300 m/s2 with a maximum speed of 5 m/s. Through a combination with the integrated MINISCALE PLUS distance measuring system, the "Guide" and "Measure" functions can be ideally linked to each other on a compact scale. As an additional option, maintenance effort can be minimized with the integrated LUBE-S long-term lubrication. Minimal design planning The MINISCALE PLUS measuring system is already integrated into the SCHNEEBERGER MINIRAIL miniature guideway. This eliminates all expenditures for additional separate…

SCHNEEBERGER MINISLIDE MSQ embodies the latest generation of miniature guideways for the most demanding applications. They are extremely robust and prove themselves in every application with their high friction movement, precision and strength. Formula 1 of the miniature guide systems "When it comes to acceleration and precise control, are you more likely to opt for the Formula 1 or a classic race car?" A manufacturer of innovative laser deflecting units used in various applications opted for the Formula 1: In this case, the SCHNEEBERGER MINISLIDE MSQ miniature guide system. Advantages of MINISLIDE MSQ To increase the efficiency of additive manufacturing (AM), the laser process must be developed to be increasingly dynamic and precise. This requires a rail system that positions the optics and sensors of the module extremely quickly, but highly accurately. The MINISLIDE MSQ guide system meets these requirements perfectly. Meets the highest requirements MINISLIDE MSQ meets the highest…

Schneeberger AG Lineartechnik (SRO), Schweiz, hat sich 2016 auf den Weg gemacht, die Toyota KATA flächendeckend einzuführen. Diese Transformation ist nicht zu unterschätzen und braucht Mut, Systematik, Menschlichkeit und Durchhaltevermögen.

Mit der Einführung eines Lean-Managementsystems hat sich die Schneeberger Lineartechnik AG fit gemacht für die Zukunft. Dass diese Massnahme geholfen hat, den 15. Januar 2015 genauso abzufedern wie eine konjunkturelle Delle im vorigen Jahr, verdeutlicht die Bedeutung schlanker Prozesse. Im TR-Interview geben Adrian Fuchser, Geschäftsführer der Schneeberger AG, und Yves Breitschmid, Manager Lean Programm, Auskunft über die Bedeutung von Lean Management und dessen durchaus anspruchsvolle Umsetzung. Herr Fuchser, die Schneeberger AG beschäftigt sich seit 2013 mit dem Thema Lean Management. Wie sehr hat Ihnen die Verschlankung der Prozesse geholfen, den Frankenschock vom 15. Januer 2015 zu verdauen? Fuchser: Wir haben gegen Ende 2013 angefangen, Lean einzuführen, und da war weder die Aufhebung der Währungsuntergrenze ein Thema, noch, dass wir 2016 mit einem deutlichen Umsatzrückgang in einem unserer Geschäftsfelder zu kämpfen haben werden. Wir sind froh, haben wir bereits zuvor damit…
