Top quality and reliable robot

CEO at Kofoed’s Maskinfabrik, Thomas Reenberg, is excited about the purchase of their new movable 24 kg robot from Flextek: – We have, in collaboration with Flextek, gotten everything we were promised six months ago, and more.

The robot manages tasks that previously took 50% longer than they do today, and the changeover time of the robot is amazingly fast as you only need to input very few parameters with no need for complicated programming. Then the robot finds the workpieces on an ordinary pallet and can work 24 hours a day, he emphasizes.

The machine factory specializes in turning and milling of large workpieces, to a wide range of industrial companies, including some of the industry’s real heavyweights. During the crisis, the company succeeded in increasing revenue and strengthening its position in the competitive market, due to purposeful trimming of costs and increased efficiency. This was partly thanks to a new machine park, which has now become even more state of hte art.

Easy, fast and reliable

In today’s job market, with a high employment rate, it has not been easier to attract qualified workers. 

With the Flextek robot we can deliver top quality products, much faster and even more reliable than before, says Thomas Reenberg, CEO.

The robot works seamlessly with an older CNC machine at Sv. Kofoeds Maskinfabrik.

One of Flextek’s core competencies is the development and sale of equipment and an effective service program for both own and other brands. Flextek supplies automation equipment from a large number of the world’s leading manufacturers.

The robot is 100% developed and programmed by Flextek Automation, with only the control system from an outside supplier.

Educated robotics technicians ensure industry-leading solutions.

Positive employees

The employees have recieved the robot very well, not least because they avoid heavy lifting and get time off for other more interesting tasks, Thomas Reenberg explains and emphasizes:  It was very easy to get started with the robot after just a two day intro course.

The default setup handles 90% of the tasks and the last 10% is done quickly, not least because of the modular design, which makes the robot easy and fast to work with.

The positive experience of getting tasks more quickly through production and out of the door to customers, naturally creates considerations for further automation at Sv. Kofoeds Maskinfabrik.

Another robot would be able to release two employees for other tasks, and with all the positive experiences we have had with the robot from Flextek, it is clear that we will consider Flextek for future autiomation investments, CEO Thomas Reenberg concludes.
