High Precision Grinding machines of the JUNKER Group at EMO in Milan
Precision redefined
Maximum precision and absolute dedication make the JUNKER Group a forward-looking pioneer that is constantly raising the bar and thus winning the trust of discerning customers from various industries. Joachim Himmelsbach, Managing Director of JUNKER, informs about the future mission of the global leader in high-speed grinding and what the JUNKER Group does to redefine precision.
Long-term, intensive, and close dialog with our customers gives us the opportunity to base development plans on existing and new requirements. We need flexible machine concepts which machine smaller batch sizes with short retooling times. In addition to the grinding process, there are requirements for the shortening of process chains through process integration and process extensions. A strong focus on digitalization for ensuring optimized machine networking rounds off our mission for the future.
Where do you think the future markets of the JUNKER Group will be?
In addition to the current market, with our grinding solutions, we are offering suitable machine concepts in all areas in which highly effective machining is required. An example is the different versions of the drivetrain in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry for combustion engines, electric drives and hydrogen cells. In the energy industry, with regard to renewable or regenerative energies, we design grinding machines for machining components for hydropower as an energy source, as well as for solar and wind power. We offer additional potential with new developments for the area of adjusting drives and infeeds.
Which innovations can visitors expect at EMO in Milan ? Visitors will be fascinated of the flexible grinding machine solution. Linear motors and an optimized guiding system results in a reduced assembly space, shorter cycle times and improved qualities. We are presenting our grinding solution to process hard coated brake discs in hall 3 at booth E20. Our experienced team of grinding and filtration experts would be pleased to advise you.
How do you see the JUNKER Group developing over the next ten years?
Diversification will play an important role in the development of a successful portfolio strategy at the JUNKER Group. In addition to systematic product further development and the expansion of the product range, this includes entering new and future markets. I also consider digitalization, the expansion of the after- sales service and the turnkey provision of complete solutions to be important elements looking towards our future. We will continue to satisfy our customers with technology, quality and reliability.
