Investing in the future 12 LIFT it 01|09 The best quality, the highest productivity, the most modern protection of the environment: In order to face the challenges of the future, VETTER has made an in- vestment in the construction of a crane factory with a total manufacturing area of 6,500 m² at the new Haiger / Kalteiche production site. Technological highlights are the ultra-modern robotic welding system and a painting line in a class of its own.
VETTER produces about 5,000 cranes of different sizes for a variety of requirements every year. During the last few years, it became evident that the production at the original company headquarters in Siegen-Eiserfeld was hitting a wall in terms of the up-to-date demands concerning efficiency, quality and environmental protection. Since an expansion and optimization of the production in Siegen was impossible due to a lack of space, the company purchased a commercial property in July 2007, located directly on the A 45 motorway in the nearby town of Haiger. Modern fi nishing While individual crane components continue to be manufactured in Siegen, the painting of the individual parts as well as the final assembly to the finished crane systems take place in Haiger. The biggest advantage at the new location, in addition to the generous space and the pleasant appearance, is the use of state-of-theart technology. It contributes to optimal work conditions, a uniformly high-grade product quality and an effective and efficient workflow. Robotic welding system for slewing jib cranes The welding of the individual components to full-blown slewing jib cranes now takes place in Haiger by means of an ultra-modern robotic welding system. The welding processes are accelerated and a consistently high quality level is ensured. A flue gas exhaust ventilation provides clean air at all welding work stations. New paint-spray line with drying facility In order to align quality, productivity and environmental protection, VETTER has installed a high-tech painting plant at the new location in cooperation with Heimer. The parts to be painted, with a maximum length of 10 m, a maximum width of 2.5 m and a maximum weight of 3 t, are carted into the painting booth via a power-and-free conveyor. The paint is applied manually with airless spray guns there. Following the paint application, the parts are automatically transported to the dryer. In order to ensure a sustained protection of the environment, in addition to optimized painting performance, the new facility is equipped with hightech filter systems, an automatically controlled air regulation, and a heat recovery system. The demands on crane technology are continuously on the rise: With VETTER, customers are optimally prepared for future tasks.
