Component

The challenge

The company Dr. Quendt GmbH & Co. KG had planned a short maintenance interval on one of their production lines. Project engineer Tom Oldach wanted to use the production stop to replace existing PA bearings with bearings made of iglidur® H1 (see picture). As the maintenance interval was only intended to be short, the CNC turned parts had to be procured very quickly.

Solution

The igus® online CNC service offers the possibility of procuring small quantities by means of express service (3 days throughput) for a surcharge. So Mr. Oldach could simply upload his components via the igus® online tool, have the price calculated for them in seconds and order them directly. Just five days later, Mr. Oldach received the delivery and was able to have the new iglidur® bearings installed on time to restart the production line without delay.
 

We wanted to make efficient use of a short maintenance interval to replace existing PA bearings with custom-made bearings made of iglidur®. The fast quotation calculation and express shipping from the igus® online CNC service enabled us to procure the parts in just a few days and get the production line up and running again on time.
