And Action! – We proudly present … The new NILES-Success-Story about our customer OTTO FUCHS

Our new video docu­men­tary about our suc­cessful cus­to­mer rela­ti­onship and the latest jointly rea­li­zed pro­ject with our cus­to­mer OTTO FUCHS KG is finally online.

Alre­ady at the end of sum­mer last year we had the plea­sure to look behind the sce­nes of the OTTO FUCHS busi­ness at the company’s site in Mei­nerz­ha­gen tog­e­ther with the film team of our video part­ner Video Vision.

The aim was to film foo­tage for the docu­men­ta­tion of the highly auto­ma­ted pro­duc­tion cell we recently deli­vered to OTTO FUCHS, con­sis­ting of a Turn­Mill machi­ning cen­ter N50MC and a Kuka robot for loa­ding and unloa­ding of all work­pie­ces via the machine front.The core of the pro­ject was the fully auto­ma­ted machi­ning of dou­ble, tri­ple, and qua­dru­ple tita­nium and nickel engine rings for the aero­space sector.

Rene Casa­grande, seg­ment mana­ger in the engine disc pro­duc­tion at com­pany OTTO FUCHS, sum­ma­ri­zes the chal­lenges of the pro­ject as follows:

“There was a requi­re­ment for a machine with dou­ble spind­les to ulti­m­ately achieve the effi­ci­ent pro­duc­tion of tita­nium and nickel com­pon­ents. Important aspects are the high cut­ting per­for­mance, which is the main focus in the con­text of tita­nium and nickel machi­ning, the high level of auto­ma­tion, where we have com­plex auto­ma­tion prac­ti­cally from a dou­ble ring to the finis­hed pro­duct and also important is the tracea­bi­lity: the fact that there is auto­ma­tic lin­king means that tracea­bi­lity is 100% from start to finish.”

The pro­ject is alre­ady a suc­cess story, not least because of the high tech­no­lo­gi­cal requi­re­ments imple­men­ted. It not only invol­ves highly effi­ci­ent and modern pro­duc­tion for engine parts, but also a very satis­fied customer.

Casa­grande sum­ma­ri­ses: “We chose NILES-SIMMONS because the machi­ning of tita­nium and nickel com­pon­ents is very chal­len­ging and we were loo­king for a part­ner who could pre­cis­ely meet all these requi­re­ments, espe­ci­ally in com­bi­na­tion with the aero­space indus­try. In retro­s­pect, it has been an abso­lut­ely round pro­ject, be it tech­no­lo­gi­cally, or also with regard to the opti­miza­tion of the sys­tems and fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment. We con­ti­nue to have the full sup­port and a very great coope­ra­tion and I can say that NILES-SIMMONS is a very good partner.”

We are the­r­e­fore all the more plea­sed to be able to pre­sent the finis­hed film here right now.

Once again, we would like to thank our cus­to­mer OTTO FUCHS KG for their great sup­port with this film. We are alre­ady loo­king for­ward to the next joint pro­jects and a con­tin­ued trustful cooperation.
