Retrofit Cost-effective alternative for the pointing process
The proverbial longevity of Bültmann machines and production systems is well known. Even after decades of operation, they can be kept fully up to date with the latest state of the art through the targeted replacement of key components—particularly in larger production lines.
Handling and transport systems usually remain in place, thus providing a quick and cost-effective way to meet the quality criteria of the entire system based on the latest mechanical engineering standards
This approach was recently implemented in a tube production line for a long-standing customer in Turkey. Within a very short time, a new Bültmann pointing unit, type HAM 080, for the production of folding tags in preparation for the drawing process was installed within a very short time replacing the existing worn out unit.
The additional programmable forming axes offer significantly enhanced operator convenience while substantially reducing setup times and, consequently, machine downtime.
The proven Bültmann pointing unit, type HAM 080, will now continue to deliver reliable performance for decades to come.
