FACE TO FACE

Front-of-line equipment for a retrofit project .
Production of SMT cross brush cleaners .
However , we do not supply the complete system for evaluation because our machines are only one part of a complex system in a press shop , but we integrate the required interfaces to the master control .
ISMR : Is there anything else that you wish to add ? machines in production and we offer our service technicians for support .
So , in short , the answer is high quality levels , realistic delivery times and good service .
ISMR : Are there any products / technologies / services that you have released or are releasing this year ( including at EuroBLECH in Hanover ) that you would like to discuss ?
KK : This year at EuroBLECH , we will showcase a dry-cleaning machine , the SMT Cross Brush Cleaner CBC 30-R , on our booth . This machine is the latest updated model of our very successful line of dry cleaners . The cross brush cleaner is used where blanks and coils with light-to-medium surface dirt must be cleaned before the forming process or further processing . Our cross brush cleaner features a compact and maintenance-friendly design as well as a high degree of automation .
For the first time in public , we will also launch our Hot Steam Cleaning Unit as an integral part of the dry cleaner for modern production and high-quality cleaning results .
ISMR : How have you positioned your company with respect to Industry 4.0 ?
KK : We are implementing Industry 4.0 according to our customers ’ requirements and specifications . This includes special sensor technology for condition monitoring of machine functions , temperatures , speeds , rotations etc .
KK : With our various in-house divisions ( from sales ; research ; design and electrical controls up to manufacturing and assembly ), we supply everything we need ourselves . This in-house capability means that we can be flexible and agile in our decision-making . All our equipment is built in-house and tested in fully functional scenarios , with the customer buy-off , before delivery .
SMT provides the full range of service , installation , commissioning and set-up of its own machines and interface to overarching control systems . So , we work with our OEM customers and Tier suppliers directly as well as with press and line automation suppliers and equipment integrators .
ISMR : Thank you for your time . n
