The modules and the tools can be set up and tested independently of the production machines due to the modular system and this can happen at any location where the trained staff are present and the appropriate basic conditions exist. 0-series and production optimization can be accomplished without any production machines.

Machining spectrum |
||
Pure stamping on machines Not practical Stamping and bending in one production step after another on a machining platform |
Pure stamping of 8-25t and tape widths of 2-70mm Stamping and bending separated The stamping and bending is split on two or more modules and is operated on a machine platform. |
Machine designed just for stamping Stamping and bending in one production step only possible with a progressive die |
Set up times |
||
Stamping tool is simple to set up Bending tool consists of many individual parts which have to be individually readjusted for each set up process, this takes place on site in production. |
Stamping tool is easy to set up Bending tool is integrated in module and can be set up and serviced independently of the machine in the tooling sets. All SBT modules go into production ready for production |
Tools are easy to set up but the bending elements have to be aligned in the tooling set and tested in production. Therefore repeated alignment work required |
Downtimes of the production machines
|
||
The machine is blocked by the set up phase and production release time. |
Since the set up phase does not apply and the production release time is minimized the downtimes are reduced to a minimum. | The set up phase is omitted however, possibly repeated alignment for production release necessary and increased machine downtimes as a result. |
Readjustment with production running |
||
Bending elements can be easily readjusted or replaced in an installed state so that they can be aligned with the changes in materials. |
Bending elements can be easily readjusted or replaced in an installed state so that they can be aligned with the changes in materials. | Bending elements may be conditionally adjusted in an installed state, but they may not be replaced. |
Limiting conditions |
||
Set up, testing and installation processes take place in production when there is dust, dirt and noise pollution. Good technical staff does not like to be available under these limiting conditions. |
Set up and installation processes occur at any site with no dust, dirt or noise pollution. Installation processes occur in production, no technical staff is necessary for this. | Set up processes occur at any site with no dust, dirt or noise pollution Testing and installation processes occur in production, however the tooling set must always be brought to the technical staff (tooling sets). High expenditure of time |
Further uses |
||
The drive elements can be used for further production. The tooling set is discarded. |
The basic module can be reused 100%. The tooling set is discarded. |
Practically no elements can be reused The tooling set is discarded |
