Spare parts: A copy or the original?

Precision and quality are crucial in the field of industrial manufacturing. A basic prerequisite for this is the use of the appropriate production equipment. This general principle also applies to the laser cutting and bending of sheet metal products. “The demands placed on metal processing companies and suppliers are constantly growing,” Product Manager Michael Uebelhart explains. “Nowadays, the production of sheet metal parts is more complex than it was 20 years ago. Simultaneously, the customers’ error tolerances are decreasing.”

The day-to-day operations of many sheet metal processing companies demand not only high quality but also speed and flexibility. These conditions are challenging for both people and equipment, says Michael Uebelhart. Order levels change from one day to the next. Price pressure and the shortest possible lead times require peak performance in every production step. Hence, in addition to technical expertise, the quality of the machines and the durability of spare parts are decisive factors. Companies that try to save money in the wrong places forfeit productivity, reliability, jobs and, in the worst case, customers.

“It is like buying a car,” Michael Uebelhart explains. There are certain reasons for choosing a premium vehicle. In order to maintain its performance and value for as long as possible, one should then also rely on high-quality spare and wearing parts.
