mAkIng tHE olD nEw!<br />

Even the injection molding machines with the longest service life<br />

eventually get old and lose performance due to wear and tear. In addition,<br />

an older technology can sometimes no longer hold up against<br />

state-of-the-art machines. For processors, the question arises here:<br />

should they invest in a new machine or overhaul and modernize their<br />

machine park? In the latter case, the colleagues at KraussMaffei Service<br />

help with their competence and expertise in older machines as<br />

part of life cycle management. The modernization of existing machines<br />

is an economically interesting alternative, particularly for existing<br />

production facilities with extensive infrastructure. Planning is<br />

everything in this. The service team not only advises companies during<br />

repairs, but also develops a solution for how this can be done during<br />

running production without impeding utilization and quality. The<br />

lower costs in comparison to a new acquisition are not the only feature<br />

that makes a modernization attractive for the customer. Because<br />

mechanical measurements and interfaces remain unchanged, no new<br />

peripheral devices have to be purchased. The present logistics also<br />

remain intact and identical. Good reasons to decide in favor of a modernization.<br />

We are happy to advise you! MB<br />
