“ This investment
was an obvious
one to make, since
it enables us to
improve further
our customer-
facing development
and high-tech
production facilities
More space for prototyping in the new transfluid halls.
”
— Stefanie Flaeper, transfluid CEO
Unlimited opportunities for pipe forming, axial and rolling.
This for example applies to projects where, in the
past, tube connections need to be welded or solded,
and where these parts were then to be replaced by
geometric end formingoperations”, explains Stefanie
Flaeper. “In such cases, components frequently
need to be tested and installed prior to any final
changeover. On this, we work very closely with our
customers”.
This building modification has equipped the
Prototyping department with three times as much
floor space as before. Here, machines are available
to tackle the full range of reshaping processes, for
diameters of 4 to 70 mm diameter. Also, in order
to perform complete processes, there is a chipless
orbital cutting system here as well as corresponding
CNC bending technology. “If all steps can be
performed here, our customers are then much better
able to gain an overview of the processes involved,
which gives them a great deal more peace of mind”,
states Stefanie Flaeper.
During the extension work, a high-bay store for spare
parts was installed. This provides quick turnarounds
for service, which in turn makes the production
operations of transfluid systems more dependable.
These new facilities have provided transfluid with the
space now and into the future for new and advanced
solutions. The company will present these at the
Tube 2018 trade fair, in Hall 5 on Stand G34.
