FOCUS ON SURFACE FINISHING
With the EdgeBreaker ® 6000 deburring machine , Autz + Herrmann closed an important gap in its service spectrum .
A SUITABLE FINISH
Autz + Herrmann is looking to expand beyond its traditional customer industries and close the gaps in its sheet metal process chain . This move includes the latest deburring machine from ARKU .
“ The EdgeBreaker ® 6000 can handle a range of requirements with its processing capabilities : deburring , rounding and surface finishing .”
Sheet metal unlimited is Autz + Herrmann ’ s new motto . With this , the German manufacturer , founded in 1909 , declared its capabilities across all sheet metal processes . There should be no limits , it believes , when searching for new solutions and capabilities .
After engineering and design , the Heidelberg specialist can laser-cut , punch , bend or round its sheet metal parts . Joining methods include laser welding ; automated spot welding ; manual MIG / MAG and TIG welding ; adhesive bonding and press-fitting . Welding robots support the operators on the shop floor , enhancing their efficiency and accuracy . Sheet metal parts can also be painted , laser-inscribed and assembled in-house .
“ We undertake our quality awareness and corresponding processes seriously and to such an extent that some customers no longer need to carry out quality inspections on the functional assemblies that we produce ,” explained technical managing director , Florian Friedrich .
The company ’ s own jig manufacturing also makes an important contribution to safeguarding final product quality . Logistics round off the current portfolio of services offered by Autz + Herrmann to its customers .
A wide offering
The traditional manufacturer ’ s success is built on three distinct cornerstones .
The first is supplying the printing press industry . The company processes highly polished metal sheet ( without scratches ) to the exacting 2R quality standard . The second cornerstone concerns housings for machine tools .
“ We are particularly strong in the small-to-medium machine tool segments . This means machines with dimensions of approximately 4m × 2.5m × 3m ( 13.2ft × 8.2ft × 9.8ft ),” explained Florian Friedrich .
The third cornerstone comprises functional assemblies for a wide range of applications . In renewable energy , for example , these include heat exchangers that cool the backs of solar cells or the housings for electricity
