DIN 18220: A MILESTONE FOR FIBER OPTIC EXPANSION

DIN 18220 COMES INTO FORCEOn 28.07.2023, "DIN 18220:2023-08. Trenching, milling
and ploughing methods for laying empty conduit infrastructures and fiber optic
cables for telecommunications networks" was adopted. The document was
ceremoniously handed over at an event on the gigabit strategy of the Federal
Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). According to Section 126 of the
German Telecommunications Act (TKG), it is to be applied uniformly by all
parties involved as a recognized technical rule from the time of publication.
DIN 18220 is intended to contribute to the cost-effective acceleration and,
above all, high-quality implementation of fiber optic expansion. It defines
clear conditions for use and implementation and sets the legal framework for
achieving a milestone in broadband and fiber optic expansion. DIN 18220
increases investment security for all parties involved, especially for
telecommunications companies. To date, there have been neither standardized
framework conditions nor uniform principles for the application of the trenching
method. Up to now, most municipalities have mainly chosen the open construction
method as the laying method for fiber optic expansion, as the minimum overlap
had to be at least 60 cm before the standard. Since 2012, the TKG has permitted
the use of shallow laying (trenching, shallow laying methods), which also
includes non-standardized methods such as trenching. However, the process has so
far had difficulty establishing itself on the market. This is primarily due to
legal uncertainties for all parties involved. These are inevitably associated
with the lack of binding technical specifications, in the form of a binding
standard, for the use of such alternative laying methods. The difficulty lay in
particular in differences between road construction authorities, contractors and
telecommunications companies regarding the specific execution and
implementation. As a result, there were delays in the expansion of the fiber
optic infrastructure. THIS CHANGES WITH THE NEW DIN 18220Up to now, most local
authorities have mainly chosen the open construction method as the laying method
for fiber optic expansion, as the minimum cover had to be at least 60 cm before
the standard was introduced. DIN 18220 now regulates laying methods for reduced
construction depths, including diamond trenching from LISSMAC (38 cm laying
depth)."With DIN 18220, fiber optic installation will not only be easier in the
future, but also of higher quality, faster, more cost-effective and more
resource-efficient. DIN 18220 creates the necessary legal certainty and
investment security for all parties involved," said BMDV State Secretary Stefan
Schnorr, describing the importance of the new standard. WHAT DIN 18220 MEANS FOR
LISSMACLISSMAC has been active in diamond trenching for around 10 years. Due to
our experience in the field of joint cutting, we are a long-standing member of
the VDMA (German Engineering Federation) and were involved in the creation of
the standard as a member of the standardization committee. We are very pleased
about the recognition of the alternative laying methods for fiber optic
expansion, including LISSMAC diamond trenching, as the standard creates clarity
for the construction industry, all municipalities, communities and
telecommunications companies. Find out more about diamond trenching following
DIN 18220 with LISSMAC.  Read further background information to DIN 18220

PROCESS RELIABILITY THANKS TO TWO NEW SANDING AND DEBURRING SYSTEMS

A Swiss sheet metal processor invested in two grinding and deburring systems.
They are used for the removal of secondary burrs and for an optimum surface
finish. The focus of the replacement purchases was on flexibility, increased
efficiency and reliable service. Text: Annedore Bose-Munde Ulrich Oppliger AG
from Lyssach in Switzerland has been successful on the market for 54 years. The
company's core competence is sheet metal processing - from bending, laser
punching and cutting to welding, straightening and deburring. Prototypes,
individual items or series are manufactured. Marc Burkhalter has been with the
company for nine years. He initially worked as operations manager for two years.
He then took over the business from his father-in-law, the owner of the company,
and has now been managing director for seven years. He knows how important the
quality of the parts is. The company has now invested in two new Lissmac systems
in order to reliably ensure this and to be able to produce more efficiently and
reliably in the future. The impetus for one of the investments was a customer
part whose production a technical problem occurred again and again. For a
company that develops and distributes surgical instruments, Oppliger has been
manufacturing components for sterilisation trays for several years, which are
later used in the pre-operating theatre to prepare the surgical instruments. 
The punched parts that are further processed at the customer's premises are
given a new look at Oppliger by subsequent sanding for a harmonised surface
finish. And this is exactly where the problem arose: a secondary burr. In
addition, the customer ordered ever larger quantities.Service is an important
decision criterion The secondary burr often had to be ground away by hand. The
old system was also frequently overloaded. The limit was reached in 2018. "The
repeated dissatisfaction with the quality of the components and the
time-consuming manual reworking of the components satisfied neither the customer
nor us. After all, a precise surface finish and clean further processing are
essential for medical technology products. We had to act," Marc Burkhalter looks
back. A reliable solution was therefore required. The quality requirements were
defined together with the customer before the new acquisition. And Oppliger also
analysed the extent to which the investment would pay off in the long term. The
specific application for the plant technology to be purchased was given and so
the key data for the new machine was quickly finalised: It had to be a compact
system because the space available in the hall was limited. And Marc Burkhalter
mentions another decision point: "It was important for me to have a contact
person for the sanding area. I also wanted to work with our long-standing
service partner Wolfgang Kohler on this point. Communication works here, the
service works and fast spare parts procurement is guaranteed." WKS GmbH -
Wolfgang Kohler Service GmbH, based in Bad-Zurzach in Switzerland - is a service
and sales company specialising in straightening and deburring machines. The
portfolio also includes Lissmac systems. Universal Entry-Level Machine For Burr
Removal The decision-making process was swift. The range of parts and the
spatial conditions were set. And so, in 2020, the Swiss sheet metal processor
opted for an SBM-M 1000 S2 dry sanding system from Lissmac. The grinding and
deburring machine is a universal entry-level machine for removing cutting burrs
from laser and punched parts. The sheet metal parts are also given an optimised
surface finish. Bertrand Laroche is Area Sales Manager Metal Processing at
Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH. He accompanied the process. "The SBM-M 1000 S2 is a
functional machine in terms of design and operation. The system was just right
for the application at Oppliger," he says. Due to the two counter-rotating belts
and the double-sided processing, no return of the parts is required. In
addition, less floor space is required. The machine type was therefore quickly
decided. Following a visit to the Lissmac demonstration centre in Bad Wurzach,
only the system design and the extraction system were adjusted and the abrasive
grain was specified. The grinding and deburring machine was then purchased and
installed in 2020. "Our customer is satisfied. Since the new system has been in
use, there have been no more problems with the secondary burr. The surface
quality has also improved somewhat thanks to the fine abrasive grain," says Marc
Burkhalter happily. Initially, the new plant was used exclusively to produce
parts for the manufacturer of medical instruments. In the meantime, it is also
used for other applications, especially for parts that need to be machined on
both sides. These are mainly industrial parts made of thin stainless steel
sheet. The SBM-M 1000 S2 focuses on removing sharp edges from thin stainless
steel parts at low cost and with low energy consumption -. "This was Lissmac's
first application with the Lyssach-based company. It's great that we have been
able to place this system concept, which has been tried and tested on the market
for a long time, here," says a delighted Bertrand Laroche, Area Sales Manager.
Powergrip Belt Ensures Efficiency And Flexibility A year later, another
replacement was due. The previous system was unreliable, had a high risk of
failure and spare parts were difficult to obtain. In addition, smaller parts
also had to be deburred. Oppliger took a look around the usual trade fairs. And
with the knowledge that Lissmac also manufactures systems in this segment, the
Swiss company approached the Bad Wurzach-based machine manufacturer in a
targeted manner. The key data for the new system was finalised: Processing of
the widest possible range of stainless steel parts, i.e. a high degree of
flexibility. And once again, it had to be as small as possible. In addition to
the set functionalities, the price-performance ratio should be right and the
delivery times should be acceptable. In addition, Wolfgang Kohler Service GmbH
was to act as a partner again. Marc Burkhalter decided in favour of the SMD 123
RE deburring machine. Here too, the technical highlight of the system is the
Powergrip belt, on which the parts rest during processing and are held in place
by the high adhesive force and without magnets or vacuum. "We are the only ones
in the industry to work with a conveyor belt like this. That means: More
consultation is required with the customer than with other, familiar
technologies," says Bertrand Laroche. However, the Powergrip belt is not only
flexible, but also very energy-efficient. A vacuum, Laroche continues, is loud,
for example, requires a lot of energy and is not suitable for all part
geometries. Marc Burkhalter is convinced by the technology, which has been
running reliably since installation. The new system will be used to produce
smaller parts for a wide range of industrial sectors as well as parts for which
the visual appearance plays a role and a good surface finish is important.
Efficiency and stability for the futureOppliger, one of the first laser
operators in Switzerland, manufactures for industrial customers in a wide range
of sectors. A good 600 tonnes of sheet steel are currently processed, of which
around 50 per cent is steel and 50 per cent stainless steel. Looking to the
future, Managing Director Burkhalter says: "It would be good to maintain the
current status. We rely on healthy growth, customised machinery, automation and
the expertise to serve a wide range of customers. Lean processes are also
important: Efficiency is to be increased in all areas, both in the office and in
production." Area Sales Manager Laroche is also looking ahead: "We want to
support our customers with more efficient abrasives in the future. Lissmac is
working on this together with abrasive manufacturers. This is intended to
improve and optimise the performance of the machine, i.e. to increase quality
and performance. And with a view to suitable system technology, the topics of
remote maintenance and digitalisation are also increasingly being implemented."

LISSMAC AND KUHLMEYER FORM AN ALLIANCE FOR THE FUTURE

LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH from Bad Wurzach, Germany and Kuhlmeyer Maschinenbau
GmbH from Bad Oeynhausen, Germany agree: Together we are stronger and can better
serve the market for sheet metal working machines. Since July 1, 2023, both
companies have launched a sales and service cooperation in which LISSMAC
co-represents and services Kuhlmeyer solutions. Since 2003, LISSMAC have been
setting standards in the processing of two-dimensional plate material and sheet
metal with a range of specially developed, patented steel brushing, grinding and
deburring machines. In particular, LISSMAC machines for double-sided processing
of internal and external contours in a single pass are in high demand, as they
save both processing time and energy costs compared with single-sided machining.
Kuhlmeyer on the other hand can look back on fifty years of innovation and
specializes in machine construction for surface finishing, deburring, weld seam
preparation and edge bevelling of three-dimensional sheet metal workpieces or
large-format plate material. "What unites LISSMAC and Kuhlmeyer are the same
values and similar corporate philosophies" says Daniel Keller, Managing Director
of LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH. "We share the same solution focus and continuously
strive to optimize our machines. The customers and their needs are always our
highest priority." LISSMAC can rely on a worldwide network of dealers and a
broad-based sales team, thus opening up new markets with Kuhlmeyer products.
"Through the sales and service cooperation with LISSMAC, we can gain more
proximity to the customer and serve markets more efficiently," explains Ralf
Wallmeyer, Managing Director of Kuhlmeyer Maschinenbau GmbH. To underline the
cooperation, both companies will exhibit together at Schweissen & Schneiden, the
world's leading trade fair for joining, cutting and coating technology, which
will be held in Essen, Germany from 11 to 15 September 2023. Interested parties
are warmly invited to get to know both companies and find out about their
product and service portfolios. Solutions for processing plate material, sheet
metal and three-dimensional sheet metal parts will be presented in Hall 6, Booth

APPRECIATION FOR SHEET METAL PROCESSING

Six years ago, an entrepreneur started a company in Bad Salzuflen, Germany. His
business was industrial sheet metal and metal processing. By investing in new
plant technology and setting up a second stainless steel production company four
years later, he was pursuing clear goals: consistent material separation, high
quality and satisfied customers. Text: Annedore Bose-Munde   Blechwerk Bürger
GmbH is a classic supplier. In addition to the laser-edged part, with or without
edge rounding, the portfolio also includes the production of complete
assemblies, from welded components with powder coating to final assembly.
Focusing on individual customer care and cooperation at eye level, the company
also operates beyond the borders of East Westphalia. Markus Bürger founded the
sheet metal plant in Bad Salzuflen in 2017. The Lico Metall Design GmbH & Co KG
was then founded in 2021, the company moved to its new location in Werther in
the autumn of 2022 and production started here in January 2023. There are quite
pragmatic reasons for the two locations. On the one hand it is the focus on the
material and on the other hand on the clientele. While Blechwerk Bürger
specialises in the processing of carbon steel, Lico specialises in the
processing of stainless steel and therefore in the purity of the processing. In
addition, the two locations also address different customers and cover two sales
channels. "Both locations are 25 kilometres away from each other, about a 30
minute drive. As a result, we are sometimes in touch with completely different
customers. In addition, with Lico we want to make consistent use of the
potential of the stainless steel market," says Markus Bürger, Managing Director
of Lico. Successive investments were made in various plant technologies with the
establishment of the new sheet metal plant and later with the launch of Lico.
The first double-sided Lissmac machine was purchased shortly after starting up
in 2018: an SBM-M 900 S2. "This was a small, handy and financially manageable
deburring machine. After this was busy in two shifts, we invested in another
Lissmac plant in 2022. We wanted to optimize the process and make it more
efficient,“ says Bürger, looking back. With the deburring machine SBM-L 1500
G1S2 not only a larger range of parts could be processed. The feed and discharge
conveyor also significantly increased the effectiveness in processing.  Ensuring
high quality from the outset was important to Bürger. Especially with laser-cut
parts, customers should not receive parts with burrs as a result of the process.
The parts are thus prepared for any subsequent processes such as welding or
coating. Two-Sided Processing In One Operation Was The Door Opener When
purchasing the plant technology, Bürger has already taken a pragmatic approach
at the start of the company. For example, the proximity to the Lissmac location
in Beckum was important to him. There he identified suitable machines that met
his requirements and key specifications.  Dirk Schürstedt, Area Sales Manager
Metal Processing at Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH, demonstrated to him the
possibilities of the grinding and deburring machine SBM-M S2. The system can be
used for flexible edge rounding. High process efficiency and time savings are
achieved by processing the inner and outer contours on both sides in one
operation. The plant was available at short notice and so they did not think
twice. "I decide quickly when I have a good feeling," says Markus Bürger. "It's
not just the chemistry that's right here. I was convinced by the proximity to
Lissmac. And of course, the two-sided processing principle as well as the
technical possibilities offered by the system and, ultimately, the short
delivery time.“ When purchasing the second system, which became necessary due to
the increased order volume, the focus was then again on a Lissmac system.
Compared to the first purchase, the SBM-M S2, is the deburring machine SBM-L
1500 is now significantly larger. In addition to the working width of 1500
millimeters, which can cover a wider range of parts and thus better serve
customer requirements, Bürger also expects cost savings in abrasives in the
future. In addition, several parts can be placed on simultaneously by the
upstream and downstream conveyor belts. This means a significant simplification
of work for the employees. An additional sanding belt also allows the burrs
created during laser cutting to be reworked more efficiently. With his two
companies, Markus Bürger is a satisfied Lissmac customer. In terms of technology
and in terms of service, which reacts very quickly when problems arise. Lissmac
will also be on board for a new planned project. "From autumn 2023, the laser
parts produced on a new Tru Laser 5030 with fibre technology will be transferred
via an Astes sorting system directly to a Lissmac double belt grinder, where the
grinding process will start automatically," says Bürger. He is confident about
the order book, sees great potential in the technology and is looking forward to
implementing the fully automated process.Second customer base generated through
consistent material separation Separating materials has always been and still is
a key issue in sheet metal working. Originally, both the steel division and the
stainless steel division were located in Bad Salzuflen. But Bürger was not
satisfied with the solution. Different quantities are processed in the steel
segment than in the stainless steel segment. The processing of the parts is
different and, of course, the purity and processing quality of the stainless
steel parts is also important. Especially when parts are used for food
processing equipment or medical technology, this is an important point. In order
to avoid complex material segregation in the processing of the various parts and
in all logistical processes, Markus Bürger decided to set up Lico Metall
Design.  "In mixed production, the error rate is significantly higher. Of
course, despite all the care taken, metal dust can be carried away or parts can
become contaminated with oils or fats," says Bürger. That's why he decided to
completely separate the two materials physically. This way, he could achieve
100% added value and increase customer acceptance. That was the right decision,
because with Lico a new and separate second customer group will be opened up.
The newly founded Lico now concentrates on the production of high-quality
stainless steel components - also with a view to the assembly production located
in the group of companies. Markus Bürger had been planning to further expand the
stainless steel sector for quite some time. And so he was looking for the right
property, a suitable managing director and co-shareholder as well as the right
technology. Although it took some time to find a suitable property and a
suitable managing director for Lico before Bürger was satisfied with the
solutions, the decision in favour of Lissmac technology was a quick one. At the
Lico site in Werther there is a SMD 123 RE dry grinding system. It is used for
deburring and the uniform edge rounding of all workpiece edges on the outer and
inner contours on all sides, as well as for an optimal surface finish of the
stainless steel parts. In addition, there is an SBM-M 1500 for rounding edges at
the location.Achieving Greater Awareness For Suppliers Especially in the field
of sheet metal processing, a lot of money is invested in plant technology.
Suppliers and contract manufacturers must also consistently perform quality work
in order to be able to survive. But the way Markus Bürger is perceived in the
marketplace is often a little hard to come by. That's why he wants more
appreciation for his companies, but also for the industry. "The sheet metal
processing industry does a lot. The potential here is huge: new technologies,
complex automation and numerous perspectives," says Bürger. And this is exactly
what he sees as a perspective for his companies. "It is important to me to run a
healthy company, to place it on the market and to keep it there, and also to
work with good employees, suppliers and customers on an equal footing".  Dirk
Schürstedt from the plant manufacturer Lissmac also appreciates this honesty at
eye level. "Markus Bürger tells me directly what he expects from a machine and
what could be improved if necessary. This open communication definitely drives
us and means a challenge that we need,“ he says. One thing is certain: Here the
mutual appreciation is given - at eye level.

LISSMAC AUTOMATES GRINDING AND DEBURRING TECHNOLOGY WITH PARTNERS

Automated processes ensure efficiency in sheet metal processing. Take, for
example, the automated ejection unit that Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH is
presenting at Euroblech. It is used to separate laser components that are
attached to micro bars on the sheet metal panel. Four separately controllable
gripper units equipped with a vacuum suction cup selectively remove the laser
components from the scrap grid after the micro-bars have been separated by the
ejection process. The components are then placed on a conveyor belt for the next
process steps - deburring and edge rounding. The system does not require optical
image processing as it is based on the geometry data of the cutting plan and
automatically determines the required number of suction pads. It can be flexibly
adapted for different sheet sizes and thicknesses. The possible component sizes
in the current system version range from DIN A5 to Euro pallet format. Sheets
with thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm and a maximum weight of 90 kg can be
processed. Time-consuming manual clearing is no longer necessary. The process is
decoupled from laser cutting thanks to a buffer space in the warehouse. The
ejection unit can be retrofitted to existing cutting systems or high racks and
can be used regardless of the manufacturer. The automation unit, which the Bad
Wurzach-based machine manufacturer developed together with J. Schmalz GmbH,
automates the loading of Lissmac grinding machines. The cell relies on robotics
technology as well as AI software and 3D vision sensors from the automation
technology manufacturer. The components are identified with the help of visual
3D component recognition from Schmalz in order to pick up unmixed components
from a pallet. They are then placed on a conveyor belt using a matrix gripper.
They can then be deburred in the next process step.The combination of loading
robots with the vacuum grippers from Schmalz and the connection to the sanding
system ensures more efficient production processes: Manual loading is reduced so
that a deburring machine can be operated by a single person. The SBM-L Evo
series will also be presented as a pre-series model for the first time at
Euroblech. On show will be the SBM-L 1000 G1S2 Evo - a deburring machine for
deburring and edge rounding on both sides of punched, laser-cut and fine
plasma-cut sheets in a single work step. The new top model of Lissmac's
double-sided deburring machines has been available as a series machine since
April 2024 From the Lissmac product range of single-sided and double-sided
grinding and deburring machines for thin and thick sheet metal processing, the
SBM-L 1500 G1S2 for highly efficient double-sided deburring and edge rounding of
punched, laser or HD plasma-cut parts and the SMD 35 REER (S-Edition) for
uniform edge rounding on all edges up to a radius of 2 mm as well as for a
non-directional finish and small parts and thin sheet metal processing will also
be on show in Hanover. The SMD 123 RE will also be presented, which can be used
for deburring and uniform edge rounding on all edges as well as for surface
processing of workpieces made of steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Also on
show will be the SBM- XS 300 G1E1 Alu Mix for deburring and even edge rounding
of small parts in a single operation. Visitors are cordially invited to the
Lissmac stand, Hall 14, Stand 14-K06, to find out more about proven technologies
and the new features for Industry 4.0.

DIN 18220: A MILESTONE FOR FIBER OPTIC EXPANSION

DIN 18220 COMES INTO FORCEOn 28.07.2023, "DIN 18220:2023-08. Trenching, milling
and ploughing methods for laying empty conduit infrastructures and fiber optic
cables for telecommunications networks" was adopted. The document was
ceremoniously handed over at an event on the gigabit strategy of the Federal
Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). According to Section 126 of the
German Telecommunications Act (TKG), it is to be applied uniformly by all
parties involved as a recognized technical rule from the time of publication.
DIN 18220 is intended to contribute to the cost-effective acceleration and,
above all, high-quality implementation of fiber optic expansion. It defines
clear conditions for use and implementation and sets the legal framework for
achieving a milestone in broadband and fiber optic expansion. DIN 18220
increases investment security for all parties involved, especially for
telecommunications companies. To date, there have been neither standardized
framework conditions nor uniform principles for the application of the trenching
method. Up to now, most municipalities have mainly chosen the open construction
method as the laying method for fiber optic expansion, as the minimum overlap
had to be at least 60 cm before the standard. Since 2012, the TKG has permitted
the use of shallow laying (trenching, shallow laying methods), which also
includes non-standardized methods such as trenching. However, the process has so
far had difficulty establishing itself on the market. This is primarily due to
legal uncertainties for all parties involved. These are inevitably associated
with the lack of binding technical specifications, in the form of a binding
standard, for the use of such alternative laying methods. The difficulty lay in
particular in differences between road construction authorities, contractors and
telecommunications companies regarding the specific execution and
implementation. As a result, there were delays in the expansion of the fiber
optic infrastructure. THIS CHANGES WITH THE NEW DIN 18220Up to now, most local
authorities have mainly chosen the open construction method as the laying method
for fiber optic expansion, as the minimum cover had to be at least 60 cm before
the standard was introduced. DIN 18220 now regulates laying methods for reduced
construction depths, including diamond trenching from LISSMAC (38 cm laying
depth)."With DIN 18220, fiber optic installation will not only be easier in the
future, but also of higher quality, faster, more cost-effective and more
resource-efficient. DIN 18220 creates the necessary legal certainty and
investment security for all parties involved," said BMDV State Secretary Stefan
Schnorr, describing the importance of the new standard. WHAT DIN 18220 MEANS FOR
LISSMACLISSMAC has been active in diamond trenching for around 10 years. Due to
our experience in the field of joint cutting, we are a long-standing member of
the VDMA (German Engineering Federation) and were involved in the creation of
the standard as a member of the standardization committee. We are very pleased
about the recognition of the alternative laying methods for fiber optic
expansion, including LISSMAC diamond trenching, as the standard creates clarity
for the construction industry, all municipalities, communities and
telecommunications companies. Find out more about diamond trenching following
DIN 18220 with LISSMAC.  Read further background information to DIN 18220

PROCESS RELIABILITY THANKS TO TWO NEW SANDING AND DEBURRING SYSTEMS

A Swiss sheet metal processor invested in two grinding and deburring systems.
They are used for the removal of secondary burrs and for an optimum surface
finish. The focus of the replacement purchases was on flexibility, increased
efficiency and reliable service. Text: Annedore Bose-Munde Ulrich Oppliger AG
from Lyssach in Switzerland has been successful on the market for 54 years. The
company's core competence is sheet metal processing - from bending, laser
punching and cutting to welding, straightening and deburring. Prototypes,
individual items or series are manufactured. Marc Burkhalter has been with the
company for nine years. He initially worked as operations manager for two years.
He then took over the business from his father-in-law, the owner of the company,
and has now been managing director for seven years. He knows how important the
quality of the parts is. The company has now invested in two new Lissmac systems
in order to reliably ensure this and to be able to produce more efficiently and
reliably in the future. The impetus for one of the investments was a customer
part whose production a technical problem occurred again and again. For a
company that develops and distributes surgical instruments, Oppliger has been
manufacturing components for sterilisation trays for several years, which are
later used in the pre-operating theatre to prepare the surgical instruments. 
The punched parts that are further processed at the customer's premises are
given a new look at Oppliger by subsequent sanding for a harmonised surface
finish. And this is exactly where the problem arose: a secondary burr. In
addition, the customer ordered ever larger quantities.Service is an important
decision criterion The secondary burr often had to be ground away by hand. The
old system was also frequently overloaded. The limit was reached in 2018. "The
repeated dissatisfaction with the quality of the components and the
time-consuming manual reworking of the components satisfied neither the customer
nor us. After all, a precise surface finish and clean further processing are
essential for medical technology products. We had to act," Marc Burkhalter looks
back. A reliable solution was therefore required. The quality requirements were
defined together with the customer before the new acquisition. And Oppliger also
analysed the extent to which the investment would pay off in the long term. The
specific application for the plant technology to be purchased was given and so
the key data for the new machine was quickly finalised: It had to be a compact
system because the space available in the hall was limited. And Marc Burkhalter
mentions another decision point: "It was important for me to have a contact
person for the sanding area. I also wanted to work with our long-standing
service partner Wolfgang Kohler on this point. Communication works here, the
service works and fast spare parts procurement is guaranteed." WKS GmbH -
Wolfgang Kohler Service GmbH, based in Bad-Zurzach in Switzerland - is a service
and sales company specialising in straightening and deburring machines. The
portfolio also includes Lissmac systems. Universal Entry-Level Machine For Burr
Removal The decision-making process was swift. The range of parts and the
spatial conditions were set. And so, in 2020, the Swiss sheet metal processor
opted for an SBM-M 1000 S2 dry sanding system from Lissmac. The grinding and
deburring machine is a universal entry-level machine for removing cutting burrs
from laser and punched parts. The sheet metal parts are also given an optimised
surface finish. Bertrand Laroche is Area Sales Manager Metal Processing at
Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH. He accompanied the process. "The SBM-M 1000 S2 is a
functional machine in terms of design and operation. The system was just right
for the application at Oppliger," he says. Due to the two counter-rotating belts
and the double-sided processing, no return of the parts is required. In
addition, less floor space is required. The machine type was therefore quickly
decided. Following a visit to the Lissmac demonstration centre in Bad Wurzach,
only the system design and the extraction system were adjusted and the abrasive
grain was specified. The grinding and deburring machine was then purchased and
installed in 2020. "Our customer is satisfied. Since the new system has been in
use, there have been no more problems with the secondary burr. The surface
quality has also improved somewhat thanks to the fine abrasive grain," says Marc
Burkhalter happily. Initially, the new plant was used exclusively to produce
parts for the manufacturer of medical instruments. In the meantime, it is also
used for other applications, especially for parts that need to be machined on
both sides. These are mainly industrial parts made of thin stainless steel
sheet. The SBM-M 1000 S2 focuses on removing sharp edges from thin stainless
steel parts at low cost and with low energy consumption -. "This was Lissmac's
first application with the Lyssach-based company. It's great that we have been
able to place this system concept, which has been tried and tested on the market
for a long time, here," says a delighted Bertrand Laroche, Area Sales Manager.
Powergrip Belt Ensures Efficiency And Flexibility A year later, another
replacement was due. The previous system was unreliable, had a high risk of
failure and spare parts were difficult to obtain. In addition, smaller parts
also had to be deburred. Oppliger took a look around the usual trade fairs. And
with the knowledge that Lissmac also manufactures systems in this segment, the
Swiss company approached the Bad Wurzach-based machine manufacturer in a
targeted manner. The key data for the new system was finalised: Processing of
the widest possible range of stainless steel parts, i.e. a high degree of
flexibility. And once again, it had to be as small as possible. In addition to
the set functionalities, the price-performance ratio should be right and the
delivery times should be acceptable. In addition, Wolfgang Kohler Service GmbH
was to act as a partner again. Marc Burkhalter decided in favour of the SMD 123
RE deburring machine. Here too, the technical highlight of the system is the
Powergrip belt, on which the parts rest during processing and are held in place
by the high adhesive force and without magnets or vacuum. "We are the only ones
in the industry to work with a conveyor belt like this. That means: More
consultation is required with the customer than with other, familiar
technologies," says Bertrand Laroche. However, the Powergrip belt is not only
flexible, but also very energy-efficient. A vacuum, Laroche continues, is loud,
for example, requires a lot of energy and is not suitable for all part
geometries. Marc Burkhalter is convinced by the technology, which has been
running reliably since installation. The new system will be used to produce
smaller parts for a wide range of industrial sectors as well as parts for which
the visual appearance plays a role and a good surface finish is important.
Efficiency and stability for the futureOppliger, one of the first laser
operators in Switzerland, manufactures for industrial customers in a wide range
of sectors. A good 600 tonnes of sheet steel are currently processed, of which
around 50 per cent is steel and 50 per cent stainless steel. Looking to the
future, Managing Director Burkhalter says: "It would be good to maintain the
current status. We rely on healthy growth, customised machinery, automation and
the expertise to serve a wide range of customers. Lean processes are also
important: Efficiency is to be increased in all areas, both in the office and in
production." Area Sales Manager Laroche is also looking ahead: "We want to
support our customers with more efficient abrasives in the future. Lissmac is
working on this together with abrasive manufacturers. This is intended to
improve and optimise the performance of the machine, i.e. to increase quality
and performance. And with a view to suitable system technology, the topics of
remote maintenance and digitalisation are also increasingly being implemented."

LISSMAC AND KUHLMEYER FORM AN ALLIANCE FOR THE FUTURE

LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH from Bad Wurzach, Germany and Kuhlmeyer Maschinenbau
GmbH from Bad Oeynhausen, Germany agree: Together we are stronger and can better
serve the market for sheet metal working machines. Since July 1, 2023, both
companies have launched a sales and service cooperation in which LISSMAC
co-represents and services Kuhlmeyer solutions. Since 2003, LISSMAC have been
setting standards in the processing of two-dimensional plate material and sheet
metal with a range of specially developed, patented steel brushing, grinding and
deburring machines. In particular, LISSMAC machines for double-sided processing
of internal and external contours in a single pass are in high demand, as they
save both processing time and energy costs compared with single-sided machining.
Kuhlmeyer on the other hand can look back on fifty years of innovation and
specializes in machine construction for surface finishing, deburring, weld seam
preparation and edge bevelling of three-dimensional sheet metal workpieces or
large-format plate material. "What unites LISSMAC and Kuhlmeyer are the same
values and similar corporate philosophies" says Daniel Keller, Managing Director
of LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH. "We share the same solution focus and continuously
strive to optimize our machines. The customers and their needs are always our
highest priority." LISSMAC can rely on a worldwide network of dealers and a
broad-based sales team, thus opening up new markets with Kuhlmeyer products.
"Through the sales and service cooperation with LISSMAC, we can gain more
proximity to the customer and serve markets more efficiently," explains Ralf
Wallmeyer, Managing Director of Kuhlmeyer Maschinenbau GmbH. To underline the
cooperation, both companies will exhibit together at Schweissen & Schneiden, the
world's leading trade fair for joining, cutting and coating technology, which
will be held in Essen, Germany from 11 to 15 September 2023. Interested parties
are warmly invited to get to know both companies and find out about their
product and service portfolios. Solutions for processing plate material, sheet

APPRECIATION FOR SHEET METAL PROCESSING

Six years ago, an entrepreneur started a company in Bad Salzuflen, Germany. His
business was industrial sheet metal and metal processing. By investing in new
plant technology and setting up a second stainless steel production company four
years later, he was pursuing clear goals: consistent material separation, high
quality and satisfied customers. Text: Annedore Bose-Munde   Blechwerk Bürger
GmbH is a classic supplier. In addition to the laser-edged part, with or without
edge rounding, the portfolio also includes the production of complete
assemblies, from welded components with powder coating to final assembly.
Focusing on individual customer care and cooperation at eye level, the company
also operates beyond the borders of East Westphalia. Markus Bürger founded the
sheet metal plant in Bad Salzuflen in 2017. The Lico Metall Design GmbH & Co KG
was then founded in 2021, the company moved to its new location in Werther in
the autumn of 2022 and production started here in January 2023. There are quite
pragmatic reasons for the two locations. On the one hand it is the focus on the
material and on the other hand on the clientele. While Blechwerk Bürger
specialises in the processing of carbon steel, Lico specialises in the
processing of stainless steel and therefore in the purity of the processing. In
addition, the two locations also address different customers and cover two sales
channels. "Both locations are 25 kilometres away from each other, about a 30
minute drive. As a result, we are sometimes in touch with completely different
customers. In addition, with Lico we want to make consistent use of the
potential of the stainless steel market," says Markus Bürger, Managing Director
of Lico. Successive investments were made in various plant technologies with the
establishment of the new sheet metal plant and later with the launch of Lico.
The first double-sided Lissmac machine was purchased shortly after starting up
in 2018: an SBM-M 900 S2. "This was a small, handy and financially manageable
deburring machine. After this was busy in two shifts, we invested in another
Lissmac plant in 2022. We wanted to optimize the process and make it more
efficient,“ says Bürger, looking back. With the deburring machine SBM-L 1500
G1S2 not only a larger range of parts could be processed. The feed and discharge
conveyor also significantly increased the effectiveness in processing.  Ensuring
high quality from the outset was important to Bürger. Especially with laser-cut
parts, customers should not receive parts with burrs as a result of the process.
The parts are thus prepared for any subsequent processes such as welding or
coating. Two-Sided Processing In One Operation Was The Door Opener When
purchasing the plant technology, Bürger has already taken a pragmatic approach
at the start of the company. For example, the proximity to the Lissmac location
in Beckum was important to him. There he identified suitable machines that met
his requirements and key specifications.  Dirk Schürstedt, Area Sales Manager
Metal Processing at Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH, demonstrated to him the
possibilities of the grinding and deburring machine SBM-M S2. The system can be
used for flexible edge rounding. High process efficiency and time savings are
achieved by processing the inner and outer contours on both sides in one
operation. The plant was available at short notice and so they did not think
twice. "I decide quickly when I have a good feeling," says Markus Bürger. "It's
not just the chemistry that's right here. I was convinced by the proximity to
Lissmac. And of course, the two-sided processing principle as well as the
technical possibilities offered by the system and, ultimately, the short
delivery time.“ When purchasing the second system, which became necessary due to
the increased order volume, the focus was then again on a Lissmac system.
Compared to the first purchase, the SBM-M S2, is the deburring machine SBM-L
1500 is now significantly larger. In addition to the working width of 1500
millimeters, which can cover a wider range of parts and thus better serve
customer requirements, Bürger also expects cost savings in abrasives in the
future. In addition, several parts can be placed on simultaneously by the
upstream and downstream conveyor belts. This means a significant simplification
of work for the employees. An additional sanding belt also allows the burrs
created during laser cutting to be reworked more efficiently. With his two
companies, Markus Bürger is a satisfied Lissmac customer. In terms of technology
and in terms of service, which reacts very quickly when problems arise. Lissmac
will also be on board for a new planned project. "From autumn 2023, the laser
parts produced on a new Tru Laser 5030 with fibre technology will be transferred
via an Astes sorting system directly to a Lissmac double belt grinder, where the
grinding process will start automatically," says Bürger. He is confident about
the order book, sees great potential in the technology and is looking forward to
implementing the fully automated process.Second customer base generated through
consistent material separation Separating materials has always been and still is
a key issue in sheet metal working. Originally, both the steel division and the
stainless steel division were located in Bad Salzuflen. But Bürger was not
satisfied with the solution. Different quantities are processed in the steel
segment than in the stainless steel segment. The processing of the parts is
different and, of course, the purity and processing quality of the stainless
steel parts is also important. Especially when parts are used for food
processing equipment or medical technology, this is an important point. In order
to avoid complex material segregation in the processing of the various parts and
in all logistical processes, Markus Bürger decided to set up Lico Metall
Design.  "In mixed production, the error rate is significantly higher. Of
course, despite all the care taken, metal dust can be carried away or parts can
become contaminated with oils or fats," says Bürger. That's why he decided to
completely separate the two materials physically. This way, he could achieve
100% added value and increase customer acceptance. That was the right decision,
because with Lico a new and separate second customer group will be opened up.
The newly founded Lico now concentrates on the production of high-quality
stainless steel components - also with a view to the assembly production located
in the group of companies. Markus Bürger had been planning to further expand the
stainless steel sector for quite some time. And so he was looking for the right
property, a suitable managing director and co-shareholder as well as the right
technology. Although it took some time to find a suitable property and a
suitable managing director for Lico before Bürger was satisfied with the
solutions, the decision in favour of Lissmac technology was a quick one. At the
Lico site in Werther there is a SMD 123 RE dry grinding system. It is used for
deburring and the uniform edge rounding of all workpiece edges on the outer and
inner contours on all sides, as well as for an optimal surface finish of the
stainless steel parts. In addition, there is an SBM-M 1500 for rounding edges at
the location.Achieving Greater Awareness For Suppliers Especially in the field
of sheet metal processing, a lot of money is invested in plant technology.
Suppliers and contract manufacturers must also consistently perform quality work
in order to be able to survive. But the way Markus Bürger is perceived in the
marketplace is often a little hard to come by. That's why he wants more
appreciation for his companies, but also for the industry. "The sheet metal
processing industry does a lot. The potential here is huge: new technologies,
complex automation and numerous perspectives," says Bürger. And this is exactly
what he sees as a perspective for his companies. "It is important to me to run a
healthy company, to place it on the market and to keep it there, and also to
work with good employees, suppliers and customers on an equal footing".  Dirk
Schürstedt from the plant manufacturer Lissmac also appreciates this honesty at
eye level. "Markus Bürger tells me directly what he expects from a machine and
what could be improved if necessary. This open communication definitely drives
us and means a challenge that we need,“ he says. One thing is certain: Here the
mutual appreciation is given - at eye level.

LISSMAC AUTOMATES GRINDING AND DEBURRING TECHNOLOGY WITH PARTNERS

Automated processes ensure efficiency in sheet metal processing. Take, for
example, the automated ejection unit that Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH is
presenting at Euroblech. It is used to separate laser components that are
attached to micro bars on the sheet metal panel. Four separately controllable
gripper units equipped with a vacuum suction cup selectively remove the laser
components from the scrap grid after the micro-bars have been separated by the
ejection process. The components are then placed on a conveyor belt for the next
process steps - deburring and edge rounding. The system does not require optical
image processing as it is based on the geometry data of the cutting plan and
automatically determines the required number of suction pads. It can be flexibly
adapted for different sheet sizes and thicknesses. The possible component sizes
in the current system version range from DIN A5 to Euro pallet format. Sheets
with thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm and a maximum weight of 90 kg can be
processed. Time-consuming manual clearing is no longer necessary. The process is
decoupled from laser cutting thanks to a buffer space in the warehouse. The
ejection unit can be retrofitted to existing cutting systems or high racks and
can be used regardless of the manufacturer. The automation unit, which the Bad
Wurzach-based machine manufacturer developed together with J. Schmalz GmbH,
automates the loading of Lissmac grinding machines. The cell relies on robotics
technology as well as AI software and 3D vision sensors from the automation
technology manufacturer. The components are identified with the help of visual
3D component recognition from Schmalz in order to pick up unmixed components
from a pallet. They are then placed on a conveyor belt using a matrix gripper.
They can then be deburred in the next process step.The combination of loading
robots with the vacuum grippers from Schmalz and the connection to the sanding
system ensures more efficient production processes: Manual loading is reduced so
that a deburring machine can be operated by a single person. The SBM-L Evo
series will also be presented as a pre-series model for the first time at
Euroblech. On show will be the SBM-L 1000 G1S2 Evo - a deburring machine for
deburring and edge rounding on both sides of punched, laser-cut and fine
plasma-cut sheets in a single work step. The new top model of Lissmac's
double-sided deburring machines has been available as a series machine since
April 2024 From the Lissmac product range of single-sided and double-sided
grinding and deburring machines for thin and thick sheet metal processing, the
SBM-L 1500 G1S2 for highly efficient double-sided deburring and edge rounding of
punched, laser or HD plasma-cut parts and the SMD 35 REER (S-Edition) for
uniform edge rounding on all edges up to a radius of 2 mm as well as for a
non-directional finish and small parts and thin sheet metal processing will also
be on show in Hanover. The SMD 123 RE will also be presented, which can be used
for deburring and uniform edge rounding on all edges as well as for surface
processing of workpieces made of steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Also on
show will be the SBM- XS 300 G1E1 Alu Mix for deburring and even edge rounding
of small parts in a single operation. Visitors are cordially invited to the
Lissmac stand, Hall 14, Stand 14-K06, to find out more about proven technologies
and the new features for Industry 4.0.
