Have you experienced ballscrew related problems on critical equipment resulting in loss of production?
This happened recently to a midlands based manufacturer of automotive components on Saturday lunchtime. A critical CNC machine suffered a catastrophic failure when the Z-Axis ballscrew snapped in two.
Fortunately, Ballscrew Services Ltd had previously carried out an onsite survey of the manufacturing equipment and catalogued all of the ballscrews with unique identities. A brief phone call enabled Ballscrew Services to quickly identify the product and set about machining a replacement from stock components.
The replacement Ballscrew was delivered by courier at 6.30pm, 6 hours after the machine failure.
How critical are your machines? Have you considered what you would do in this instance?
Ballscrew Services Ltd offer onsite surveys of manufacturing equipment and cataloguing of ballscrews to enable swift problem solving in the future.
