Teamwork à la Rhineland + Allgäu
the intensive cooperation began at the
model-planning stage; suggestions and
improvements for the cast part structure
were discussed and developed. the highly
geometric form, which is an ambitious
foundry product with its many crossovers,
small recesses and precast drillholes, was
the result of carefully coordinated joint
planning processes.
the component is shaped and cast in the
molding box; with this optimally suited
the word “tool” makes us think of handy objects that we all have stored in our cellar, garage or car. something that our ancestors
were using back in the stone Age to make their lives easier.
since the advent of industrialization, we have been thinking in larger dimensions, i.e. machines in a larger format. In the 15 th and 16 th
centuries, the technical devices created by Galileo Galilei became a source of general interest; and since the French Revolution and
the enlightenment, large machines have been simplifying and accelerating many work processes.
today, even the giant presses manufactured by siempelkamp fall under the heading of “tools”. the customers of siempelkamp
Giesserei develop large machine tools – and we supply the necessary cast components.
some of these cast products come full circle, when they are used by the siempelkamp Group. this is the case, for example, with our
schiess machining centers – or the milling machines from Deckel Maho Gildemeister, which enrich the machine inventory at Krefeld.
