Six weeks in five days
July 1st 2007 Following a machine
breakdown, packaging
company Coppice Alupack
faced the possibility of sixweeks
downtime until
Moog stepped in and
helped fix the problem in
five days.
The basic hydraulic
valves and mechanical
components did not need
changing, as Moog's MSC
controller was fully
compatible with the existing
system and now allows
both tonnage and distance
settings.
"Moog were on site
investigating the problem
on the Thursday, placed
orders on Friday, worked
over the weekend to rewire
the machine for the new
Moog MSC controller and
on the Monday wrote the
program for the controller.
"By Tuesday evening the
machine was back up and
running at approximately
80% capacity and we were
able to resume production,"
says James Lamin,
engineering manager at
Coppice Alupack. More articles from Moog Controls: |
