Case study GE Aerospace

VSM (Value Stream Mapping) improves productivity

Product: LEAN Value Stream Mapping with Struers Application Specialists
Company: GE Aerospace
Challenge: How to increase samples by 20–30% with fewer man-dependent processes
Results: Development of plan for implementation of process improvements

The main goal for GE Aerospace is to prepare for a higher volume of samples while maintaining consistent, high-quality preparation. GE Aerospace partnered with Struers to use the LEAN VSM principles to map the current state of the sample preparation process.

Case study Man B and W

Hardness Tester increases efficiency

Product: Hardness Tester Duramin-40
Company: MAN Energy Solutions
Challenge: Efficiently hardness test thermal spray-coated cast iron parts.
Results: A faster and more efficient process performed on one machine.

MAN Energy Solutions, one of the world’s leading suppliers of marine industry engines, wanted to boost the efficiency of hardness testing of thermal spray-coated parts. The solution was to automate hardness testing with Duramin-40.

Case study Siemens Cutting

The perfect precision cut on complex turbine components

Product: Secotom
Company: Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery
Challenge: How to precision cut and clamp odd-shaped turbine components
Results: A fast, silent and easy cutting process with no limit to clamping

Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery prepares turbine components for materialographic analysis. The parts are often small and uneven, with additive manufactured components, making them very tricky to clamp and cut. Siemens wanted a cutting machine that was precise, fast and efficient – and gave them unlimited clamping options. Our solution was the Secotom-60 precision cutting machine.
