The China FAW Group Corporation: from the most traditional foundry processes to automatic grinding with exceptionally high levels of productivity and flexibility - a technological transformation made possible thanks to MAUS.

Founded in 1956, the China FAW (First Automotive Works) Group Corporation, a state-owned group with its headquarters in Changchun in the northern Chinese province of Jilin and with a sales and service presence throughout the world, has expanded its operations over the years to encompass ever-more demanding applications for the production of commercial vehicles. Today, FAW is the leading Chinese manufacturer of trucks and buses, with a production capacity of more than 1 million vehicles. It has 120,000 employees, with a full 5,000 working in the group's various foundries.

The increase in the technical level of FAW's manufacturing has been accompanied, over time, by a plethora of collaborations with overseas partners that are leaders in their specific sectors. FAW has established various production joint ventures with manufacturers of the calibre of Audi, the Ford Motor Company, the Hyundai Motor Company, the Mazda Motor Corporation, the Toyota Motor Corporation and Volkswagen.

FAW and MAUS have signed an extremely important contract - the first on this scale in the Chinese market - for the supply of a plant composed of two MAUS automatic grinding lines that includes a total of 10 Sam 1200L machines equipped with robots for the automatic loading/unloading of the pieces.

Together, the in-depth analysis of the real requirements of FAW carried out by MAUS and the extensive nature of the applications and solutions implemented by MAUS throughout the world played a fundamental role in FAW's decision-making process. The Chinese group has selected MAUS technology for the ambitious project to build the largest automated plant in China for the grinding of engine blocks for trucks.

Specifically, the plant supplied by MAUS will be utilised for the automatic grinding of two different types of engine blocks for trucks (4- and 6-cylinder), in a highly productive system that delivers between 70 pieces per hour and 120 pieces per hour, with highly competitive unit costs, optimising the production process in terms of flexibility, productivity and quality.

The MAUS solution will take its place within a production system - created from the ground up - that represents the state of the art in terms of the technology on the market; one that is capable of dealing with the complete production process of the engine blocks in the foundry.

The commissioning of the production operations in the brand-new FAW foundry in Changchun is expected to take place in spring 2014.

]]>Fri, 11 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT<![CDATA[Maus at EMO 2011]]>At the recent international EMO 2011, which closed on 24 September, MAUS received unanimous rave reviews from the numerous visitors due to the technological content of the projects discussed at the various meetings held in the stands.
EMO 2011 further consolidated MAUS's position as the only manufacturer in the world capable of offering the most comprehensive range of products and flexible solutions for vertical turning and automatic deburring operations.
0-km Manufacturing and a 5-year Warranty were the two main aspects appreciated by visitors, mainly international, who met with MAUS specialists in the six days of the event.
In fact, the MAUS products provide an integrated technological and application-based response to the changes occurring at Original Equipment Manufacturers, who are required to manufacture at extremely competitive costs, and also at foundries, which are now having to perform mechanical machining operations that were once carried out further down the production chain. In fact, foundries are increasingly focusing on 0-km manufacturing (i.e. from the raw material to the finished product), particularly for brake discs and drums, wheel hubs and flywheels. This increases the added value of the component and drastically reduces downtime and production flow times.
Furthermore, the power of the MAUS innovation is rapidly spreading throughout the vertical turning market thanks to the new Series 5 products, which have been totally redesigned based on the experience accumulated by MAUS over many years of continuous research and product industrialisation. The Series 5 gets its name from the fact that it comes with a 5-year Warranty. In fact, this tangible and highly innovative approach - never before seen on the market and focused on achieving customer satisfaction - is synonymous with exceptional reliability of each MAUS machine and the MAUS plant as a whole.

 

]]>Thu, 29 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT<![CDATA["0 Km" Manufacturing from MAUS]]>All of the products in the new 5 Series of vertical lathes from MAUS provide an integrated technological and application-based response to the changes that are occurring at OEMs, which are being called upon to manufacture parts with extremely competitive unit costs, and at foundries, which are seeing the introduction of mechanical machining operations that were previously dealt with further downstream. Indeed, foundries are increasingly geared towards "0 km" manufacturing, covering every step from the raw material to the finished component in-house, particularly for brake discs, brake drums, wheel hubs and flywheels, thereby boosting the added value of the component and drastically reducing downtime and production flow times.

 

]]>Wed, 7 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT<![CDATA[5-Year warranty]]>The new 5 Series, which has been totally redesigned on the basis of the experience accumulated by MAUS over the course of its many years of continuous research and product development, takes its name from the fact that it is covered by a 5-year warranty. This tangible, highly innovative approach - never before offered on the market, and squarely focused on the delivery of customer satisfaction - is synonymous with the exceptional reliability of each part of MAUS machinery and with the MAUS system as a whole.

 

]]>Wed, 7 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT<![CDATA[Maus at GIFA 2011 ]]>The recent GIFA 2011 trade fair, which came to an end on 2 July, was a tremendous success for MAUS, both in terms of the number of visitors and in terms of the technological content of the projects discussed at the various meetings held with end users.

Those in attendance were shown the exclusive features of the machine, which encompass high levels of flexibility and productivity for the grinding of components weighing up to 150 kg.

]]>Wed, 15 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT<![CDATA[Robotised grinding cells]]>Since the early 1980s, the onus has been on foundries to automate the grinding process. Certain suppliers have responded effectively to this requirement by focusing on the use of grinding robots, whereas others have concentrated on the development and manufacture of flexible grinding machines.

Up until the present day, these two solutions have played roles in opposition to each other: each supplier has attempted to highlight its own advantages with respect to the alternative solution being proposed by the competitors, often creating expectations that are not met and, in the process, increasing the uncertainty felt by the users themselves.

MAUS - a world leader in the technology of automatic grinding, with more than twenty-five years of specialist experience - has consolidated its position as a global partner in the sector by offering a comprehensive range of flexible grinding machines, robotised grinding cells, grinding cells for the automotive industry, combined grinding machines (grinding and mechanical machining), integrated grinding cells (machines and robots) and "turnkey" systems for the grinding of parts weighing from 1 kg to 10,000 kg.

The in-depth analysis carried out by MAUS on the actual requirements of the market has led to the conviction that there is no such thing as the perfect solution to meet all the different manufacturing requirements - rather, there are specific production approaches for which the right solution has to be provided on a case-by-case basis.

Due to their specific shape, the quality of the burrs to be removed, the location of the burrs and the production rhythms in place, certain parts can be ground very successfully using grinding robots. However, there are other types of parts that - due to their shape and dimensions, and to the volume of the batch - have to be processed on a flexible grinding machine.

In other words, MAUS's direct experience, based on its interpretation of the market, has led to the conclusion that there are families of parts that are suitable for processing with grinding robots, and others for which a combined - or hybrid - solution, fusing the two technologies (robots and flexible grinding machines), is more appropriate.

In short, MAUS has confirmed the validity of its complete range of products and solutions for automatic grinding by supplying the most suitable solutions to match the specific requirements of its customers. MAUS's approach is geared towards the single objective of guaranteeing that the customer can manufacture its parts at extremely competitive unit costs. At the upcoming GIFA 2011 expo, the worldwide showcase for the sector, MAUS will exhibit both solutions in the form of a robotised cell, constituted by a robot with a load-bearing capacity of 210 kg and by a SAM 300 (SAM JB series) flexible grinding machine, for the grinding of parts with a unit weight of up to 20 kg.

]]>Wed, 15 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT<![CDATA[GIFA 2011]]>At the upcoming GIFA 2011 expo, MAUS will be showcasing a robotised cell, constituted by a robot (with a payload capacity of 210 kg) that manipulates the grinding tool and by a SAM 300 flexible grinding machine, conceived for the job foundries market and intended for the grinding of parts weighing up to 20 kg.

This robot completes the MAUS range, thereby offering customers the possibility to choose the best solution to match their specific requirements: machine or robot, or machine and robot.

The SAM 300 is the smallest model in MAUS's renowned, well-established JB series of flexible grinding machines. The models in this series have proved to be a great success on the market thanks to their unrivalled flexibility, which is assured by, amongst other features, the automatic pallet change device. This series allows for the automatic grinding of components of a multitude of different sizes and weights, and also makes it possible to carry out various different types of grinding.

At GIFA 2011, MAUS will also be exhibiting solutions that combine grinding and mechanical machining, with a view to offering an ever-more comprehensive range of products that have what it takes to deliver further added value in the complete machining of parts such as brake discs, brake drums, hubs, etc
