Gau\u00df & G\u00e4rtner GmbH relies on Schr\u00f6der-folding machine MAKU<\/h2>\n

Small and medium-sized companies are the mainstay of han-dicraft businesses. Quite a few of them are family businesses. Since 2019, the Gau\u00df & G\u00e4rtner GmbH has also been part of this traditional group. For the new workshop equipment, the experts for plumbing and roofing relied on machines from Schr\u00f6der Group in the area of cutting and folding. The motorized MAKU sheet metal folding machine with its powerful POS 2000 Professional software control plays the main role in the day-to-day work http:\/\/www.gauss-gaertner.de\/<\/a>.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Success<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\u201eWe were visiting the exhibition Dach+Holz in Stuttgart in 2020, saw the MAKU and were immediately enthusiastic,\u201c says Ma-naging Director Steffen Gau\u00df, a master roofer with 33 years of professional experience. \u201eThe machine is a universal all-rounder and a worthwhile investment, especially for small tinsmith shops like ours,\u201c adds co-owner Dominik G\u00e4rtner, who as a master roofer and tinsmith combines two master craftsman titles. Uncle and nephew are particularly impressed by the automatic conical bending function. Connectable profiles can be produced quickly, cleanly and extremely precisely.<\/p>\n

Time saved. Quality increased.<\/h5>\n

\u201eThanks to the MAKU, the work now takes place much more in the workshop, and what used to take a whole morning is now done within 1.5 hours with the machine. With the current shortage of skilled workers, this is a component that should not be neglected. After all, it\u2018s as if we had one more man in the company,\u201c says Gauss happily. Quality is another important fact that should not be undere-stimated. With manual production, for example, it is extremely difficult to always produce a wall coping at exactly the same angle. With the MAKU, this is very easy. You reliably get perfect edges. And concial bends are a common occurrence the plumbing industry – be it for attica coverings, wall coverages, roof edge profiles or panels with a slope. \u201cWe are craftsmen with heart and passion and always want to deliver optimum quality to our customers. If we can increase quality by making an investment, then we do it,\u201c G\u00e4rtner elaborates. \u201eThat\u2018s also about craftsmen\u2018s honor.\u201c<\/p>\n

Those who do not move, stand.<\/h5>\n

Another reason for the acquisition of the MAKU from Schr\u00f6der and the associated entry into automation and digitization was its equipment with the software control POS 2000 Professional. \u201eWe don\u2018t usually produce large batches for commercial properties, but are fully occupied with building renovation and the construction of individual homes, yet we are moving with the times and made a conscious decision to take this step toward automation,\u201c Gauss relates. \u201eAll the work goes faster and easier. We have stored frequently used parts, and the support and guidance provided by the software also makes drawing a pleasant activity. We change angle and leg dimen-sions simply by tapping the touch screen. The software also takes care of the calculations. In the past, we had to calculate the blank cuts beforehand, but now the machine predetermines the cut. Really convenient,\u201c continues Gauss.<\/p>\n

A huge reduction in workload.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201eSpeaking of convenience,\u201c G\u00e4rtner continues. The display shows all the work steps, such as turning, reversing, etc., for each individual folding process. Mo-reover, the several days of instruction by an expert from the Schr\u00f6der Group was also excellent. It was then that we first became aware of the full potential of the machine and its software control. From the possibility of simulation and external programming to working out of the CAD data. We are certainly not using all of the machine\u2018s capacities at the moment, but as of today, the investment has already more than paid off,\u201c G\u00e4rtner concludes before turning his attention to the produc-tion of four connectable profiles with the MAKU together with his uncle. In a few minutes, the carpenter arrives to pick them up. The well-coordinated team carries out its work with routine, the MAKU as the third man also performs outstandingly, the job is completed on time in top quality. This is the custom at Gauss & G\u00e4rtner. And this is how it should continue to be in the future.<\/p>\n
