CUSTOMER STORY by VICIVISION GmbH
VICIVISION GmbH interviewed its customer amo-tec, a leader in precision turned parts manufacturing, to explore their experience with VICIVISION measuring machines. amo-tec’s choice was driven not only by competitive pricing but, more importantly, by the superior quality and increased efficiency achieved in production. Their story highlights how adopting our solutions has transformed their manufacturing processes, delivering precise, fast results accessible even to those without specialized quality control training.
Mr. Wolfgang Zinn
“Well, the price was certainly one of the reasons why we chose VICI, but as I said, it was mainly the quality, because quality is the be-all and end-all for us.
We had three suppliers to choose from, so we tested all three of them. I had each machine there for about a week. We did tests with different workpieces and tried to see what was repeatable. Then we found that this VICI system has the advantage of a live image and in this live image you can also see deviations.
And of course, the accuracy totally convinced us and that’s why we decided for this machine. And of course, we were totally convinced by the accuracy and decided to use this device. Today, most of the production is done with this device. No matter whether we are setting up new parts or repeat parts, you put the part in, let it run and have a complete measurement in 5 to 10 seconds, know what your part is like, readjust it on the machine. And that’s how we set up all the parts.”
Mr. Bruno Hanselka
“The SFB Group, with over 750 employees, is one of the leading suppliers of hydraulic and pneumatic valves.
Here in Erkheim at amo-tech, our core competence is the production of precision turned parts in medium and large series.”
Mr. Andreas Nothelfer
“By using our VICI machines, we have been able to save an enormous amount of time during our set-up processes as well as during measurements within production.”
Mr. Fabian Dölle
“The machines are used by our entire production team, which is 54 employees. The machines are completely integrated during manufacturing.
Small deviations as well as burr build-up or bad surfaces are detected immediately.
This is easy to notice, even for employees who have no training in QA.”
