Industry influence

· Exhibitions: IMTEX forming at BIEC, Bangalore 16– 21, June 2022

After almost two years, we attended IMTEX in Bangalore, India from June 16 to 21, 2022. Marposs participated in this show in an effort to build its business network and engage in face-to-face interactions with potential customers.

#Marposs displayed innovative products and industry 4.0 at IMTEX 2022. A stand showcasing our solutions, such as X1, X3s, BRANKAMP Forming, BRANKAMP Ultra Emission, and BRANKAMP Stamping to a wide range of industries was designed with the strategic purpose to engage the visitors. Marposs demonstrated #BrankampMonitoringSystems, which have a broad variety of common process fault detection capabilities (caused by tools, material, lubrication, or transfer)

Even after the epidemic, the event was a huge success, and we were able to meet new people and share our solutions with them.

 

·  Exhibitions: 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 at Pragati MaidanNewDelhi 

The Fastener Fair in India happened from the 22 – the 23rd of July, 2022 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi organized by RX India, and Joachim Krüger from Marposs India inaugurated the 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧e𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 also.

A wide variety of products and solutions are designed and produced by MARPOSS, including leak testing for all industrial sectors, automatic assembly lines, and control systems. Precision measurements of mechanical components are performed before, during, and after the manufacturing process. Fastener Fair India’s opening featured a conversation with Machine Maker and Joachim Krueger, Head of Sales Support Forming & Stamping at MARPOSS Monitoring Solutions GmbH. His job is to help the MARPOSS distributors market their products all over the world, especially to the forming industries, such as the fastener industry. To demonstrate its cutting-edge monitoring technology to the Indian fastener sector, the company’s attendance at Fastener Fair was primarily motivated by this goal.

Recent Collaborative Measures

Marposs participated as a Quality Partner in Bangalore at the 8th edition of ‘The Machinist Super Shopfloor Awards 2022’.

Organization’s Vision

Marposs celebrates this year its 70th birthday spent in providing customers with top quality metrology solutions for metalworking production and is looking for a future transformation into a global provider of Inspection, Testing and Control solutions for any type of industrial process.

Machine vision solutions supported by AI to check hairpin or complete assembled stators, EOL tests for Batteries and Fuel Cells, Leak Tests solutions for battery packs and housings as well as cooling plates are just few of the newly developed solutions dedicated to those Customers investing in the new sustainable mobility.

Specifically, in the field of Machine Tool, besides striving to keep our traditional measuring solutions for Grinders, Lathes, and Machining Centers machines on the edge of quality, we have invested in providing solutions for quality control during the Roll-to-Roll process for anode/cathode films, as well as high precision wheel balancers to fit gear grinders in order to guarantee extremely smooth surfaces on gears for noise reduction. Our TTV thermal camera is designed thought to optimize the HPDC process and increase the quality production of Aluminium/Light alloys parts, which are so important to reduce weight and consumption; our Machine Monitoring Solutions are able to keep under control all machine parameters to optimise machining process, increase tool life and reduce energy consumption for a low-impact production.

Marposs solutions are widely used on silicon wafer machining lines for Semiconductor production as well as in several EOL solutions for measurement and leak test of Consumer Electronic components.

In the Biomedical segment, we can offer a variety of solutions for several quality control issues in the sector of disposables, dental implants, and orthopedic joints. Vials as well as glass containers of virtually any dimension can be checked easily and precisely with our flexible Visiquick measuring system.

 Organization’s Contribution to Industry Growth

Since its foundation 70 years ago, Marposs core competence has been focused on improving the quality of the manufacturing process. Our first revolutionary product, whose success allowed the Company to grow rapidly both in volumes and in international coverage, was an In-Process measuring system for grinding machines. Until that time the only possible way to get the right dimension of a precise part on a grinder was to stop the process, which was to manually measure the part with a calliper, a highly unsafe act. The number of times this was necessary depended on the ability and experience of the operator. With the Marposs system, the part diameter was constantly under control and the measuring result was used to stop the machine when the right dimension was reached. The result was reduced machining time and higher production rates, consistent part quality, and higher safety for the operator.

The Marposs solution soon became a “must have” option on each grinding machine and Marposs is an indispensable partner for all grinding machine makers. This long-term partnership has allowed Marposs to absorb the knowledge of the process requests for improvement, leading to the development of a complete range of solutions and a product portfolio that is nowadays an absolute worldwide reference.

Marposs then decided to apply its expertise in process control to other types of machine tools and other machining processes, investing in R&D resources as well as in M&A operation to be able to develop a bunch of solutions, such as:

  • Grinding wheel balancers keep under continuous control the correct rotation of the wheel thus allowing the best grinding surface roughness on the part and increasing the life of the machine structure and of the wheel itself. In the current evolution of the automotive towards electromobility, the noise reduction, after the elimination of the traditional combustion engine, is focused on gears; no gear grinder can achieve a perfect gear without a wheel balancer on it.
  • Post-process measuring stations after turning or grinding operations: several key parameters of a part are measured after machining, and the results are stored and elaborated to adjust the machine in case of a trend in the process.
  • Probing solutions to set up machine coordinates and enable precise and controlled machining cycles, as well as part measurement during and after the cycle of the workpiece still fitted onto the machine (lathe or machining center or milling machine).
