ROEMHELD: New variant configurator for roller and ball bars on presses

Dimension drawings and technical data for customised solutions with just one click / New die changing technology catalogue

Hilchenbach, 3 of April 2018. The new ROEMHELD Internet variant configurator allows potential customers to comfortly compile their customised roller and ball bars for exchanging dies on presses. The page can easily be accessed via the Group’s website (https://www.roemheld-gruppe.de/productconfigurator/?lang=en) and is optimised for use on smartphones and tablet PCs. The configurator will also be available as an App for Android and Apple smartphones in the future.

The configurator both provides an overview of the comprehensive offer of roller and ball bars and facilitates the order process. Users may send inquiries directly and have dimension drawings for their bar version, including technical data and order numbers, prepared at the touch of a button. This facilitates the previous inquiry procedure and leaves less room for error. Vice-versa, all technical data of a bar may be accessed via a backward search based on a given order number.

At the same time, ROEMHELD publish their new die changing technology print catalogue, comprising carrying consoles and transport carts in addition to bars.

Quick, ergonomic and safe die exchange

The bars designated for use in the T-slots of presses and systems facilitate and accelerate the insertion and positioning of dies. While roller bars allow for linear movement, heavy loads may deliberately be shifted by means of ball bars.

Both hydraulic and spring-action models are available in six different slot widths. In addition, the customer may choose between aluminium and steel casings. The requested length, the ball centre distance and the required slot depth may be designed individually and entered simply.

The resulting data such as carrying capacity, oil quantity and the maximum possible operating temperature of the bar are clearly summarised in a breakdown. Apart from this, the user may directly obtain a technical drawing including all dimensions as well as the relevant catalogue page.

Configurator to be developed

At present, the configurator can be used in German, English and French; product dimensions are indicated both in metric and US units. Due to the great customer interest, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Chinese are to follow and extend the range of languages offered.
