Online CNC service proven in practice

Dr. Quendt GmbH &Co. KG from Dresden is active in the food industry and produces Christmas cakes, pastries/snacks and confectionery. The company is the largest food manufacturer of Christmas treats such as Dresden Christmas cakes.

The challenge

The company Dr Quendt GmbH & Co KG had planned a short maintenance interval for one of its production lines. Project engineer Tom Oldach wanted to use the production stop to replace the existing PA bearing with bearings made from iglidur® H1 (see image). As the maintenance interval was only scheduled for a short period, the CNC turned parts had to be procured very quickly.

Solution

The igus® online CNC service offers the possibility of procuring small quantities by means of express service (3 days throughput) for a surcharge. So Mr. Oldach could simply upload his components via the igus® online tool, have the price calculated for them in seconds and order them directly. Just five days later, Mr. Oldach received the delivery and was able to have the new iglidur® bearings installed on time to restart the production line without delay.

We wanted to make efficient use of a short maintenance interval to replace existing PA-bearing with customised bearings from iglidur®. The very fast quotation calculation and express dispatch of the igus® online CNC service enabled us to procure the CNC parts in just a few days and put the production line back into operation on time.
