Remanufacturing - Uniformity
 
 
Why remanufacture your existing machine?
• Cost effective way to extend machine life and
   increase ROI
• Improve machine performance (decrease cycle time)
• Add new testing capabilities (like geometry or visual
   inspection)
• Implement lot size 1 processing
• Centralize recipe management
• Introduce data acquisition necessary for product
   traceability and intelligent material handling
 
Why choose the Poling Group?
We have extensive experience helping our customers . . .
 
• Remanufacture and upgrade machines onsite because    they couldn’t be moved
• Develop a phased approach for remanufacturing to
   meet improved technology, product transition, or
   budgetary demands
• Standardize machines from different suppliers,
   for example:
 - enforce a common (preferred) PLC
 - integrate an existing supervisory computer
 - introduce a new data acquisition system
 - unify machines to reduce spare parts headaches
 
 
Frame Maintenance
 
Existing frames are sandblasted, reinforced and machined true and square. Once complete the machine can accept the newer, larger capacity components.

 
1.
All four pads are replaced and machined true to the cylinder mounting surface.
2.
Holes and other old modifications are cleaned off and welded closed, making the frame like new.
3.
Boxing the support panel and adding a cross member improves the channel frame structure.
Head Remanufacturing
 
The head is removed and the carriage way mounting surfaces and mounting pads are squared and milled flat.

 
1.
Mounting pads are resurfaced true, then drilled and threaded
2.
While on the mill, the spindle bearing bore is examined for concentricity and any wear mark. At this time, if necessary, the bore is sleeved and then milled square to the four corner mounting surfaces
Frame and Head Reassembly
 
After the frame and head are machined and reinforced, they are reassembled and then the process of putting the machine together begins. Any components from the machine that were still useful are reused while those that were not are replaced.
 
This photo shows the frame with the head reattached, and the entrance conveyor installed.

 
 
Hydraulic and Wireway Systems
 
This photo displays the hydraulic side of the machine, showing carriage servo hydraulic system pump and manifold, ball screw, and wireway components.

 
1.
New wireways are installed
2.
New hydraulic valves and manifold to support the adjustable width chuck and chuck change systems
3.
The ball screw is replaced
4.
AC servo for loadwheel carriage
5.
New 13 inch loadwheel and carriage
Control Panel
 
Control panels have ample room for all available options and are supplied in UL/CSA/CE format.
 
Many different control panel sizes and layouts are available to accommodate different PLC and Servo systems. All panels are sized to allow the addition of future options.

 
 
Planning your modernization program

How is globalization affecting your
manufacturing operations?

 
• Changing product mix
• Move to lot size 1 (vs. batch) processing
• Increased SPC reporting
• More regulatory or export requirements
• Customers want new or better information
• Management wants production floor data for
   performance analysis
