The challenge
The challenging and complex requirements of SCHRAG|Fassaden's customer base have spurred the company to continuously modernize and optimize its production. As a concrete measure of this ongoing optimization, the company added a TruBend 8230 press brake to its machine park in spring 2024. This investment proved to be a decisive step in meeting increasing customer requirements. The additional resources gained in bending are followed by a higher demand for blanks, especially for bending components and sheets up to 4 mm thick in oversize format.
«The contact with ScaleNC and the option of an additional programmer as a back-up proved to be extremely useful, especially in times of vacation or illness.»
Andreas Lehmann, Head of Work Preparation, CAMWhy ScaleNC?
SCHRAG|Fassaden came across ScaleNC when looking for a solution to cope with the increasing order situation while maintaining quality. The ability to call on an experienced team of experts, especially during peak periods or staff shortages, proved to be extremely attractive. ScaleNC not only offered support with work preparation and programming, but also developed customized solutions that met SCHRAG Fassaden's specific requirements.
The solution
ScaleNC acted as a strategic partner and supported SCHRAG|Fassaden not only in NC programming, but also in work preparation, especially in the preparation of STEP files by TruTopsBoost. These customized solutions were provided according to the customer's needs and timelines, enabling flexible and efficient production planning and collaboration. This allowed the company to make optimum use of its own in-house resources while benefiting from ScaleNC's services.
«We see ScaleNC's services as a digital extension of our team that can be deployed flexibly as required. This gives us a high degree of flexibility and planning security.»
