The Challenge of Thin Sheet Welding in Mechanical Engineering
Welding is carried out with the Fronius TPS 320i, a reliable welding machine that leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to handling, welding processes, and functions.
"It works" is the motto of Knoll Maschinenbau GmbH in Bad Saulgau, which lies in the heart of Germany's Upper Swabia region. Founded in 1970 by Walter Knoll as a one-man company, today more than 1,100 employees manufacture advanced industrial systems in Germany, Poland, China and the USA. Welding is carried out with the Fronius TPS 320i, a reliable welding machine that leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to handling, welding processes, and functions.
Knoll enjoys a leading position in terms of technology, quality and brand awareness. The Swabian family business is economically independent and creates added value for all companies in which metal is machined in the automotive industry, in energy and medical technology, in machine and plant construction, and in the aerospace sector.
High Real Net Output Ratio
The advanced solutions from Bad Saulgau optimize the performance of many machine tools. Resource-conserving cooling lubricant cleaning systems, chip conveyors and pumps are produced. The product range also includes central systems, which are individual pieces of equipment linked to form one system. They are required for the fully automatic transport of chips and cooling lubricants to central processing plants. Automation solutions for assembly lines and intralogistics are another mainstay for Knoll. Examples include assembly conveyor belts, automated guided vehicles or cobot solutions.
Joachim Riebsamen, Shell Construction Production Manager says, "As a solution provider, we offer all the necessary services from a single source: from project planning and manufacturing, to commissioning and service. We believe that good customer relationships are based on transparency and trust. That's why we don't just rely on a website, brochures and sales pitches. In-house machining allows us to convince potential customers about the advantages of our products using real operations."
Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
