9/14/2012

Weckenmann’s product range not only covers fully automated pallet circulation systems, but also offers the right production solution for manufacturers with a wide and flexible manufacturing program.

Therefore, the company Erwin Fensterle from Ertingen in Southern Germany could recently start operating a newly developed Weckenmann formwork tilting table. Erwin Fensterle is a long-established construction business with more than 130 years of company history and more than 125 employees working in civil engineering projects. The precast concrete elements for residential property construction are produced in the company's own precast concrete elements plant.

Highly flexible siderails

For its solid buildings, Fensterle produces expanded clay solid walls with a thickness ranging from 100 to 425mm. For this production, Fensterle acquired a hydraulic tilting table with a newly developed, height-adjustable siderail. The siderail can be adjusted within a wide range while still being highly accurate to size and well sealed.

This high-quality solution is convincing: "It was our absolute priority to obtain a durable and technically multipurpose tilting table," underlines Erwin Eitel, technical manager of the company. The tilting table is also equipped with an integrated highfrequency compaction system. Being one of the leading manufacturers of adhesive magnet systems, Weckenmann also supplied the appropriate magnet technology for the shuttering system. The table was collected by a lorry of Fensterle at the plant in Dormettingen on a Friday afternoon. Weckenmann's team of installation engineers accompanied the delivery on its way to Ertingen. The installation and commissioning was carried out immediately on the following weekend, so that the system could be tested for acceptance and the documentation could be handed over already on the following Monday.
