Powerful Concepts – For Growing Demands
The demands on modern assembly processes have been steadily increasing worldwide. Vehicle manufacturers and operators are becoming more aware of the integrity of these processes and this is underlined by increasingly stringent regulations. Conventional wheelset press technology has seen significant advances in this area over the last two decades. MAE offers powerful concepts that are geared to meet these demands.
Centering cylinders for wheelset shafts and mounting sleeves for wheel and brake discs replace manual positioning with lifting appliances and enable exact component alignment. For loading and unloading the press, wheelset carriages have replaced tedious and dangerous crane handling operations. The heart of the press is a high-performance control computer. In combination with a force and displacement measuring system, it guarantees a precise assembly process conforming to relevant standards and extensively documents the quality of the product.
Today, centering cylinders, wheelset carriages and control computers are standard equipment even on simple workshop presses. High-performance presses for wheelset manufacturers or large maintenance companies are characterised by a high degree of automation of all operations and processes, including loading and unloading and press tool positioning.
MAE has taken all this into account. The current range of presses for all applications is based on one, particularly efficient basic concept that offers outstanding operating convenience and precise, safe process sequences also for companies operating with small series production and a limited budget.
