ASSOCIATION OF GERMAN LASER USERS
-BLECHBEARBEITUNG- E.V.
The VdLB visited HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Meppen as part of the members' meeting
This year's general meeting of the Verband deutscher Laseranwender -Blechbearbeitung-e.V. (VdLB) took place on 23 February in Lingen (Ems). Over 80 participants travelled to Emsland for the meeting. The meeting was accompanied by an extensive programme, including a factory tour with a machining demonstration at HEDELIUS Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Meppen. For many participants, it was a good opportunity to gain a comprehensive impression of the North German machine manufacturer. "We are delighted that the VdLB combined its annual conference with a tour of our company. It was a great opportunity for us to introduce our guests to the company and our products," says HEDELIUS Managing Director Dennis Hempelmann.
In the HEDELIUS demonstration centre, members of the German Laser Users Association - Sheet Metal Processing e.V. were able to get an impression of the HEDELIUS machining centres.
In addition to a 45-minute factory tour, an ACURA 85 and a TILTENTA 7-2600 were demonstrated live under chip in the HEDELIUS demonstration centre. The members of the association were also able to get an idea of the other machines from the TILTENTA, ACURA and Forte series on site. Dennis Hempelmann explains: "This gave our guests the opportunity to gain an impression of the wide range of HEDELIUS products. Laser and sheet metal processing companies are increasingly expanding their value chain to include the milling range. Our machines can offer the necessary flexibility for this."

In manufacturing companies that mainly produce small batch sizes, every minute of spindle time counts - or so the theory goes. In practice, however, the proportion of productive spindle time compared to working time is often less than 40 per cent. The search for tools, clamping devices and information, as well as set-up, tie up valuable resources and leave many operating companies far behind their potential. There are many ways to sustainably close flexibility - and thus performance - in production. But every manufacturing company is different. The trick is therefore to find your very own recipe for success.
Advancing automation has long since arrived in mechanical engineering and contract manufacturing - but many companies still face challenges, especially when it comes to small batch sizes. While large-scale production is already largely automated today, flexibility in smaller quantities, which are often the order of the day in contract manufacturing, poses a particular challenge. How can automation be made to pay off here too without presenting machine operators with insurmountable hurdles?
