High-precision sheet metal processing Today sheet metal processing stands for state-of-the-art production technologies and materials. Whereas in former times, housing elements, facade sheets etc. used to be made up of several parts, it is now possible to use complex folded sheets consisting of only one piece. Therefore, 3-D CAD and a consistent process chain have recently become increasingly important. Learn more... |

VHV Anlagenbau GmbH - HELiCON abridges the product development process in conveyor technology In the field of conveyor technology, a particularly high degree of customisation is required. Plant size, transported materials, spacial limitations - all these are factors that demand a maximum of flexibility to enable a perfect realisation of customer-specific requirements. At the same time, however, many options for component modularisation are available. This difficult balancing act between customisation and standardisation can be easily performed using a so-called "product configurator". Learn more... |
