With the multistage investment plan, GAUDLITZ keeps relying on the expansion of the tool shop capacities. With an investment of nearly one million euros in a new wire cutting electrical discharge machining (EDM) center from the company Sodick.
A pivotal argument for the new acquisition was the optimization of time, costs and service, entirely in line with the customer requirement. The use of the most modern automation technology enables the set-up of several workpieces and therefore considerably shortens the set-up times.
“Our new wire EDM center enormously influences the upstream and downstream processes, and is an important component in the entire production chain. Moreover, we create a higher level of comfort among the employees and particularly delegate a great deal of responsibility to our young colleagues”, explains Jens Pankow, our deputy Head of Tool Shop.
Even now, the first synergies are becoming apparent and confirm us on our pursued path. As a key factor for the component quality of our customers, the tool shop is also a clear focus for 2018 for further investments.
