PROCESS – Optimizing work processes and increasing the competitiveness of grinding machines
With RETROFiT PROCESS, JUNKER specialists analyze the grinding machines as well as their environment, taking the most up-to-date factors into consideration. This involves, amongst other things, the grinding process including cycle times, dressing processes, travel paths, integrated assemblies, networked automation and workpiece cooling, as well as process parameters such as measured values, temperature and pressure. The potential gains arising from this are discussed together and an implementation strategy is established. This is subsequently tested to ensure that the production process is seamless. RETROFiT PROCESS is ideal for integrating further workpieces into the machines. This includes creating the tool plan, developing and implementing new grinding processes, as well as assembling and producing the accessories required. Comprehensive documentation completes the RETROFiT PROCESS package. Expanding the product range also increases the competitiveness of the grinding machines.
