The Liebherr group has invested in two new ZINSER 4025s for their production site in Biberach, enabling processing of plates up to 300 mm thickness. The exceptional technology was not the only reason for Liebherr to invest in the new cutting machines from ZINSER. Finding a long-term, strategic partner for the realization of various cutting projects was an equally important factor.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since 1954, Liebherr-Werk Biberach GmbH, which currently employs 1,600 people, has produced custom-made tower cranes for national and international sale. The Liebherr group is also the controlling company for further crane production sites in Spain and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A main goal of the Liebherr project team, alongside purchasing the new cutting system with an ideal price-performance ratio, was finding the right company to establish a long-term, strategic partnership with, for all ongoing and future flame cutting challenges and projects. \u201cBefore making this investment, which is very important for us, we very closely examined the solutions that are currently available on the market. In the end, ZINSER convinced us with the remarkable performance of their cutting systems and the accompanying whole package\u201d, explains Liebherr\u2019s project leader Jens Pralow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2019, ZINSER was awarded the contract for realizing this demanding project \u2013 a clear expression of trust from Liebherr.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

ZINSER\u2019s CEO Andreas Niklaus emphasizes: \u201cBefore closing this deal, we conducted many in-depth discussions and various practical demonstrations. Liebherr is a very interesting and pleasant business partner for us. We are convinced that this project is just the beginning of a close, worldwide partnership with the Liebherr group.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joint, inter-divisional Liebherr-ZINSER project team developed the technical and commercial solutions fulfilling all mandatory specifications. The main technical features are: two independent, identical but mirrored ZINSER 4025 cutting machines, each equipped with a plasma bevel unit for bevel cuts as well as a plasma torch for straight cuts for plate thicknesses up to 45 mm. Each one of the four plasma torches is powered by its own individual XPR 300 plasma source with gas console VWI from Hypertherm. Automatic arc height control ZAC 5070 and cameras with separate LCD screens for process control purposes increase the cutting quality and make the machines extremely easy to operate. Two additional oxy-fuel torches with acetylene cutting gas and electric height adjustments with a stroke of 300 mm allow the cutting of plates with thicknesses up to 300 mm. Both machines run on joint tracks with a length of 41 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the 5 axis technology, we now own state-of-the-art technology\u201d, adds Lorenz Lamparter, head of Liebherr\u2019s cutting division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
