THE INNOVATION: TRANSPORT MECHANISM FOR LARGE TELESCOPIC STEEL COVERS

n the future, high feed rates and high accelerations will no longer preclude large, heavy telescopic steel covers. Hennig, one of the world’s leading suppliers of machine protection systems, has developed a transport mechanism especially for this type of application, for speeds between 98 feet and 262 feet per minute (30 and 80 meters per minute). In an innovative solution, the new transport mechanism eliminates high limit stop forces and corresponding noises in all operational positions, moving smoothly when the covers are pulled apart as well as when they come together. Test runs at speeds exceeding 328 feet per minute (100 meters per minute) and accelerations exceeding 1g were absolutely trouble-free. Large masses and a large number of boxes are a welcome challenge for this transport mechanism. The system is not positively driven; as a result, it doesn’t need to move the entire mass. Depending on the length of the stroke, the only boxes moved are the ones required for clearance. The mechanically muffled units travel on guides which guarantee extremely high stability.

WAY COVER REPAIRS GET EATON BACK TO WORK IN SHORT ORDER

The Hennig Inc. service center in Chandler, Oklahoma, keeps Eaton Hydraulics running all the time with their way cover repair services. Hennig manufactures the facility’s telescopic way covers at the facility in Machesney Park, Illinois, and services the client locally. Often, when servicing brands other than their own, the Hennig service team reverse engineers the designs and replaces components through its own inventory or local suppliers, to meet or exceed the OEM spec. Again, since the emphasis is on fast turnaround, this ability to engineer the solution and make the repairs is vital to keeping the customers’ shops up and running. This article is available in its entirety as published in Reliable Plant magazine or in Business Network magazine. The article is also available for download here.

WAY COVER REPAIRS HELP BOSCH KEEP WORKING WITHOUT A “BREAK”.

At the Hennig Inc. service center in Charlotte, North Carolina, technicians perform a variety of services on the way covers for original equipment made by its parent company in Machesney Park, Illinois and also repair and/or replace covers made by other manufactuers. For example, at the Robert Bosch LLC Chassis Systems Brakes Division facility in Johnson City, Tennessee and the Diesel Systems facility in Charleston, South Carolina, there are occasional breakdowns of the way covers protecting the mechanical motion components on large work centers. Under a performance contract, Hennig engages customers such as Bosch for a full package of maintenance, repair and replacement services on way covers. Robert Bosch LLC builds a series of brake components and complete braking systems, using assorted machine tools and machining centers. Parts produced at the Johnson City and Charleston facilities include brake rotors, brake drums, disc brakes and parking brakes as well as master cylinders, brake boosters, fuel injectors, unit injectors, ABS materials and related brake assist assemblies. This article is available in its entirety as published in Reliable Plant magazine or for download here.

HENNIG CZ HAS A NEW 4 kW LASER CUTTING MACHINE and a NEW TEST MACHINE for TELESCOPIC STEEL COVERS

As planned in January, we started the new 4 kW Laser Cutting Machine in our
Czech plant. The machine cuts in two shifts to meet the trend of higher orders and will guarantee timely shipments.

The new test stand is used for slower telescopic steel covers with speeds up to 30 m/min to check for slapstick problems, functional checks and final inspections.
This takes the load off of our high-speed test stand in Kirchheim which will be used more for research and development or complicated tests.

PRODUCTION OF THE SK MOLDED WIPERS ARE NOW IN FULL SWING!

After startup of the new state-of-the-art laser cutting machine at our joint venture Sur Hennig in India, the SK Wipers are now in full production.

Additionally, one new CNC milling center, two injection molding machines and a glass peening machine which prepares the surface for molding, allow us to manufacture all the necessary molds, fixtures, wiper blanks and molding process in multiple shifts making us independent of outside suppliers.

The technical responsibility and continuous improvement for these products rests on Hennig GmbH. Therefore, in time of merciless competition, we can help you be successful.

Shorter and more reliable delivery of these fine products is now guaranteed. With the in-house manufacturing of the required molds and fixtures, we are able to absorb the tooling cost and can guarantee the constant high quality of the end product, thus making our SK Wipers unquestionably the “Best Buy.”

WE ALSO BRING YOUR TSC AROUND THE CORNER

Why always go straight forward? Our know-how makes it possible.

For exceptional requirements and suitable solutions, you are in the best hands at Hennig. The 90-degree direction changeability moves with 16m/min (630”/min) and is installed on a milling center to machine cast iron, steel and aluminum parts.

DALIAN-HENNIG JOINT VENTURE

Hennig Inc. has entered a joint venture in China forming a new company: Dalian Hennig Co., Ltd. This new company became a legal entity on May 17, 2004. Hennig products manufactured in the USA will be serviced by this new company. This will ensure after-market service opportunities for the Hennig global network, as well as replacement component sales. Manufacturing is scheduled to commence within the next year.

Based in Dalian, this new manufacturing and service presence in China provides an opportunity for greater short term and long term growth prospects. The initial customers will be regional OEMs, and eventually the entire Chinese market. Their machines will have Hennig quality way covers and enclosures on them.

The addition of the Dalian-Hennig joint venture to the Hennig global network gives the company a truly worldwide presence and access to every viable machine tool market in the world.

Simple and economically unequal

The patented C6 wiper system, offered exclusively by Hennig, allows an unmatched quick, sensational and economical exchange of the wiper lips directly at the machine without disassembly of the telescopic way cover.
Depending on the operation of the machine (wet, dry or mixed-cutting or when using aggressive synthetic coolant), you can choose between four wiper lips, each one made of a special compound to guarantee the longest life for each application.
Wiper replacement is simple and fast and can be handled by your people, while maximizing your machine uptime.

XY-Module - an extremely
flexible high-speed protective system

Our XY-Module was further developed to provide an exceptionally flexible protection unit for machine tools. The complete assembly is tailor made to the customer's specifications (dimensions, fitting positions-vertical, sloping or overhead) and special requirements. The customer can select from variations such as Flex Protect (a folding aluminium system) standard and lamellas bellows, apron covers and venetian covers and decide on any of these types or a combination according to his requirements. As a complete assembly unit, the XY-Module can be mounted very quickly. Accelerations of up to 2g and speeds of up to 150 m/min have already been successfully tested.

Striving for quality in the Hennig-Group

We are pleased that our repeat audit at the Hennig GmbH in Kirchheim was completed successfully without any faults.
