Successful retrofitted machine for Aperam
For our customer APERAM in Châtelet (Belgium), we have carried out an extensive retrofit of a 50-year-old roll grinding machine.
The machine was equipped with a new control system, GEORG smartcontrol, new drive motors and a completely new control cabinet including cabling.
For the first time, an automatic roller measuring system was retrofitted to the machine and the proven GEORG measuring caliber was installed. We also repaired and adapted other components.
Within four weeks, the required grinding of one roller per day could be implemented. Full processing capacity was achieved within six weeks, which is reflected in the customer's high level of satisfaction.
Project manager Marc Hendrik Althaus: "The GEORG team did everything they could to meet the customer's deadlines and expectations."

IGUS trade press day at GEORG
To ensure the high quality of our machines, we manufacture in our in-house mechanical production facilities in Kreuztal, Germany, and Roanoke, USA.
We apply the same high-quality standards to our suppliers — for example, to the energy chains from igus GmbH. Last week, igus visited our headquarters in Kreuztal as part of a trade press workshop attended by many journalists. The industry experts had the opportunity to gain an in-depth impression of our coil processing lines, roll grinding machines, and lean production. We are very grateful to have igus as a reliable partner providing top-quality products by our side.
