Starrag Vuadens SA
Some machine manufacturers serve mass markets with standard products, while others make a name for themselves with sophisticated solutions for niche markets. Among the latter, Starrag Vuadens SA is distinguished by its consistent customer orientation.
“The direct line to Bachofen is a blessing for us design engineers. Bachofen’s quick response times, flexibility and technical support make our work much easier, because every machining solution that leaves our factory is a custom design.”
Willemin-Macodel SA
«Grenzen sind dazu da, überwunden zu werden.» Mit diesem Leitsatz hat sich Willemin-Macodel im weltweiten Markt der Bearbeitungssysteme in eine führende Position katapultiert. Und übertrifft bei der Präzision, der Leistung und der Bewältigung von Komplexität immer wieder sich selbst.
«Ein innovatives Unternehmen wie wir es sind, muss sich ständig die Frage stellen, ’was können wir wie verbessern?’. Bachofen zählt zu den Lieferanten, die uns immer wieder mit neuen Ideen und technischem Input helfen, die richtigen Antworten zu finden.»
Precitrame Machines SA
Das Streben nach höchster Präzision liegt der Precitrame Machines SA sozusagen in den Genen. Mit der Produktion von Platinen für Uhren fing es an. Heute setzt das Unternehmen weltweit die Präzisions-Standards in der CNC-Transfertechnologie.
«Wir suchten lange nach einer überzeugenden Lösung zur präzisen Wegerfassung der Werkzeugschlitten. Mit dem induktiven Linearwegsensor LiQ17 von Turck liefert uns Bachofen ein Produkt, das unseren komplexen Anforderungen vollumfänglich entspricht.»
Bachofen is your competent partner for a wide range of applications in industrial automation. Benefit from the experience and expertise of our employees – we are happy to advise you personally.
When monitoring machinery, processes, actions or user behaviour, speed and clarity are paramount. The most efficient medium for these purposes is light. With its new WLS27 Pro-lights that are...
Some machine manufacturers are still hesitant when it comes to relocating controllers into the field, even though the benefits of decentralization are very clear. The CODESYS-3 controller TBEN-Lx-PLC from...
With the TBEN-S, TBEN-L and FEN20 fieldbus modules, Turck is opening up new possibilities for machine and plant manufacturers. Each device on a network can be reached via an...
A linear guide should take up minimal space but also deliver maximum performance. This contradiction inevitably leads to compromises when evaluating the options. But this is now a thing...
As a rule, manufacturers come under a lot of pressure in terms of time, costs and innovations. And on top of that, they are faced with consistently high customer...
There are many aspects to the safety of machines, plant and vehicles. However, designers and operators have more important things to do than be setting up an evaluation process...
Is the tool suitable for the next processing step and when is the next service due? This information is crucial for ensuring that manufacturing runs smoothly with no long...
Many operating faults in machinery and systems go undetected until the process itself starts to falter. If the operation was permanently monitored, any functional faults that were about to...
Need to disconnect fluid connections quickly, cleanly and without any tools? Then look no further than the Rectus couplings from Parker. Parker has the right coupling for every conceivable...
In the world of Industry 4.0, modularity is gaining increasing importance in the manufacture of machinery and systems. This development is also promoting the decentralisation of I/Os and control...
Machine are carrying out increasingly complex functions and are increasingly networked, reflecting Industry 4.0. This also results in higher demands on the optical sensors. The future lies in LED...
When speed is required, conventional ball screws quickly reach their limits. Traditional types have a DN value of between 60,000 and 120,000. THK’s new BSM ball screw exceeds these...
Compressed air is expensive. One cubic meter can easily cost 10 to 20 Swiss centimes. Too much to waste. Flow sensors from EGE with IO Link display leakages immediately...
The ability of measurement and control systems to communicate is of central importance to the safe operation of systems. Electric actuators from Valpes can be configured and controlled using...
High-performance machine guarantee a high level of productivity thanks to efficient production. This is compromised if an operating person is required to load and unload the machine. DENSO robots...
Finding space- and time-saving solutions is becoming increasingly important in equipment manufacturing. This applies to all areas of the process. Parker has enhanced the Carstick® push-in cartridge for the...
Wireless networking is a key element of Industry 4.0. It is, however, difficult to implement in industrial environments. Until now, interference and long distances have affected the wireless transfer...
Inductive sensors, for applications in special machine engineering and other demanding fields, should ideally have high switching distances, be compact and form a key element for reliable machine and...
Handling hot liquids can cause manufacturers to break out in a sweat, as it poses particular challenges for valve technology. That is why those who are able to keep...
Although ensuring machine safety often has no direct benefit on productivity, it is nonetheless too important to be ignored. Accidents involving personnel can have dramatic consequences for those affected...
Monitoring a process is one thing — displaying its status is another. To date, a separate device has been required for each of these two functions. Now, however, automation...
If the power supply to a machine or plant is in jeopardy, a whole host of other things can go wrong. The risk of interruptions and failures is particularly...
Measurements in micro dimensions can be too much for conventional sensors to handle. The range of measuring sensors available on the market is extremely small, especially in cases where...
Whenever applications require robots and humans to collaborate, productivity usually takes a hit. This is because the safety of operating personnel must always take priority. The Cobotta Pro collaborative...
The operation of compressed air systems is energy intensive. This makes it all the more important to constantly control the flow rate and, if necessary, take appropriate steps to...
Even though your workplace might be filled with the brightest minds, if the lighting isn't right, the risk of mistakes and quality losses increases enormously. What's more, outdated lamps...
Cleaning with compressed air is fast and effective. But what about the energy usage? Parker Legris compressed air blow guns are fully in line with the trend towards sustainable...
Work trips by engineers and service technicians can quickly become expensive. And it takes quite a while before the maintenance is completed or the machine defect is repaired. We...
Before a drive gives up the ghost, it usually emits calls for help in the form of vibrations and overheating. But these are all in vain if they go...
Studies show the about half of compressed air in industrial plants is lost ineffectively. Evidently, the handling of this operating supply is not very tightly monitored. However, rapidly rising...
Highly precise and highly rigid ball screws and caged roller as well as caged ball linear guides for use in lathes and milling machines.
Clean separation of cooling circuits by drip-free coupling systems.
In spark erosion machines the liquid handling of the dielectric takes place via solenoid and seat valves, and heat exchangers perform cooling tasks.
Use of robotics for loading and unloading, tool changer and inspection, IP 67 protection also permits installation in the machine directly.
Rotary joints both for dry running and for the secure, reliable feeding of coolant through the electric spindle.
