For companies bending 24 / 7, automotive parts; companies working at the high end of the capacity on a regular basis; it is essential you have a machine that can be both trusted in operation, quick to repair in case of an accident and easy to maintain.
Quality components
Our aluminium profile bending machines use Schneider electrical parts, HMI and PLC. We have found these most suitable for our multi axis forming and intelligent processing. Our induction bending machines primarily use Siemens controls / PLC / HMI; certain parts are Schneider / ABB if we find them more suitable.
Our HMI indicates issues with parts should there be a problem and we can remotely access the PLC for upgrades and checks.
For specialist cards we have manufactured, we usually supply spares with the machine.
Repairs
If an accident occurs or a part fails, Inductaflex designs its machines for quick repairs. In urgent situations, your own staff can often carry out the fix without delay.
Some companies report it takes two days to replace a shaft bearing or even two weeks to change a clutch. That’s unacceptable. Inductaflex sets a clear standard: motor changes should take only 5 to 30 minutes. Replacing a bearing, even on our largest machines, typically takes just 1 to 6 hours.
To improve durability, we use bronze liners with graphite cores on our main shafts. This design offers stronger, longer-lasting support and helps reduce maintenance downtime.
Maintenance
PPM is undertaken locally to our advice. We train local personal on this and provide on-line guides. Soon we will be launching our customer area for advice / check sheets and videos. Service can naturally be provided along with extended warranty however our theory is that if a company is insistent on you having extended warranty after 12 months, they can’t have much confidence in their products.
