MACHINPRO

Equipment begins with the application.

The machine has to suit the work it will actually perform. Material, geometry, process, capacity, accuracy, automation requirements and operating conditions all influence that decision.

Machinpro evaluates machinery in that context rather than treating the equipment as an isolated purchase.

Equipment06

  1. 01

    Machining

    Equipment for machining operations where process, material, geometry and required output determine the machine configuration.

  2. 02

    Forming

    Machinery considered around the material, forming process, production requirement and operating conditions.

  3. 03

    Processing

    Process machinery selected according to the operation it must perform and its place within the wider production system.

  4. 04

    Automation

    Automation applied where handling, machine interaction or repetitive operations need to become part of the production process.

  5. 05

    Handling

    Equipment for moving parts and materials between machines, processes and production stages.

  6. 06

    Special-purpose equipment

    Equipment configured for a specific application where standard machinery does not meet the requirement.

Application

The specification follows the work.

A machinery requirement is defined by what the equipment needs to do, where it will operate and how it must interact with the surrounding process.

That provides the basis for evaluating the machine itself, its configuration and any supporting equipment required around it.
