How I work
Audit → Action plan → Implementation → Validation & acceptance (documentation, run-down measurement, training)
You receive: risk assessment, action plan, binding quotation, and after implementation: full documentation, electrical schematics (EPLAN P8), a legally robust statement of the standards applied, test reports, and operator/maintenance briefing.
Projects (retrofit examples)
Hydraulic press — pipe joint manufacturing
Retrofit to a safety PLC, with light curtains and two-hand control.
Benefits: fully functional, user-friendly control system; safety deficiencies rectified; new documentation; future-proofed. [Read project]
Eccentric press — part of a robot-fed production cell
Old contactor control replaced; safety control system added; automation interface; machine safety circuits implemented.
Benefits: functional, modern, safe control; stable automated production, 3-shift operation. [Read project]
Retrofit — 250-ton hydraulic press
Control system completely renewed; old hydraulics replaced; cylinders overhauled; operating concept modernised.
Benefits: a modern, easy-to-operate machine at a fraction of the price of a new one, fully compliant with safety requirements. [Read project]
