Dean Machine Tools (formerly Doosan Machine Tools) DVF5000 helps German Raussendorf achieve complex shapes and multi-functional processing

　　The DVF5000 5-axis vertical machining center from the German company Raussendorf, utilizing Dean machine tools (formerly Doosan machine tools), enables complex shape machining and multi-functional processing!

　　"Among the 17 machine tools we own, the DVF 5000 is the most satisfying; the more we use it, the better its performance." This is what Robert Redman, Production Manager at the German company Raussendorf Maschinen-und Gerätebau GmbH, which purchased the Dean machine tool (formerly Doosan machine tool) DVF 5000 Model in 2019, had to say.

　　According to the company's on-site report, the DVF 5000 has been praised for its technical advantages, including "increased efficiency, deburring, flexible production of various processing materials, and optimized service."

　　"Doosan equipment can simultaneously clamp four components, completing all processing within 12 minutes. Compared to the past, cycle time can be reduced by 300%."

　　The Dean machine tool (formerly Doosan machine tool) DVF 5000 can clamp four materials for single-pass processing.

　　Challenges

　　Expanding the scope of mechanical processing and production activities across multiple industries! 

　　Raussendorf Maschinen-und Gerätebau GmbH (hereinafter referred to as Raussendorf Company), with a 150-year history, is a contract manufacturer of machinery and equipment engineering, agricultural machinery, and more.

　　Prioritizing "solving customer needs," the company is expanding its production activities across multiple industrial sectors to address the changing environment of machining mechanical components and ensure stable business operations. In particular, Mr. Hannes Stefan Hannenheim, representing the company, has focused its core strategy on "securing production manufacturing technology centered around processing equipment," and has been committed to enhancing R&D capabilities in this area for many years.

　　Solutions

　　1. Flexible Production, Wide-Ranging Material Handling Capabilities

　　High-mix, low-volume and low-mix, high-volume production

　　Raussendorf uses the DVF 5000 to machine various materials, from soft materials such as aluminum and plastic to brass, castings, steel, stainless steel, and hardox steel.

　　Robert Redman also stated, "The high degree of composite functionality and multi-functional applications offered by Dean machine tools (formerly Doosan machine tools) are clearly advantageous." He added, "From small to large quantities, a wide variety of processing materials can be processed using a single DVF 5000 unit; this has been verified by our company and our clients." 

　　2. Tool Position, Clamping Options, and Equipment Speed

　　Process-oriented operations; customer-experienced efficiency increase of up to 300% 

　　"The DVF equipment is a 5-axis vertical machining center with a rotary table, offering savings in processing time and cycle time," Robert Redman explained. "Our company uses a large rotary table during machining operations." "With single clamping, four workpieces can be processed simultaneously, not only shortening processing time but also improving production capacity."

　　Raussendorf uses Doosan equipment to machine the support for inspection tools; the processed support is used in laser cutting equipment from a well-known manufacturing company. "Doosan equipment can achieve a repeat accuracy of 2/1000 mm, exceeding the requirements of our clients."

　　Robert Redman also said, "The DVF 5000 Model of Doosan machine tools used by Raussendorf Company has a 40-tool magazine. The 'tool load monitoring software' provides conditions for shortening cycle times, and its advantage lies in its ability to smoothly process components with complex shapes."

　　3. Equipment for Perfect Deburring of Four Components

　　Four-sided machining, thread cutting, and processing of four components can be completed within 12 minutes.

　　Robert Redman believes that the tool magazine of the DVF series is faster than any other equipment at Raussendorf. Including large-size 75×300㎜, 8㎏ tools, supplying all tools required for processing 'takes only 1.5 seconds'.

　　"With the processing equipment used in the past, clamping a single material for processing took 12 minutes," he said. "But Doosan's equipment can simultaneously clamp four components, completing all processing within 12 minutes. Compared to the past, cycle time can be reduced by 300%."

　　In recent years, Raussendorf has expanded the processing area of the DVF 5000, not only for guide brackets but also planning the machining of positioning pins, automotive industry cams (prototypes), and universal joint bases. He stated, "No preparation is needed for the processing equipment; different types of components can be produced flexibly, and the applicability of DVF equipment will be even better in the future."
