Eggert CNC-Technik GmbH
The right machine concept for high added value
It merely took job shopper Eggert CNC-Technik eleven years to grow
from two to 46 employees. A lot of things have changed in these years of
dynamic growth, but one thing has remained the same: matec machining
centers are the heart of the metal machining department of the company.
In the year 2000, at the age of 32, Jochen Eggert dared to start up his own business.
His experiences as an employee for packing machines manufacturer Paltec and
two years working for matec had made him sure: in the region there was a need for
mechanical machining of parts, which the existing job shoppers could not fulfil. For that
reason, Jochen Eggert founded the Eggert CNC-Technik GmbH eleven years ago –
with one single machine, a matec-30 HV.
Machining capacities and added value must correspond
The dynamic growth of his company was based on a simple strategy, the owner
knows: „The most important thing was to start with a machine, which could on the one
hand manage the machining capacities, and on the other hand provide a high added
value. matec Managing Director Erich Unger gave the advice to order a matec-30 HV
machining center, with traveling paths in X of 4,000 mm.“ Today the innovative entrepreneur
is glad to have put the emphasis on the machining of large parts right from the
beginning. That way hard work, ability and order income were acompanied by a
good margin, which enabled further growth. Jochen Eggert remarks: „In most cases
our customers have provided the impetus for investing in a new machine. By and by
the orders for large parts were followed by requests for the machining of small parts,
so we had to purchase another HV machine quickly.“ And this is how it went for a couple
of years, so almost every year a new matec maching center was purchased.
Nevertheless Eggert still couldn’t meet all requirements: „The more our clientele grew,
the more requests we had for the machining of parts in sizes, which we couldn’t do
even on our largest machine.”
Investing in a gantry machine with traveling path in X of 10,000 mm
By and by Eggert came to the decision to round up his machining performance by a
much bigger machining center. Unger still remembers the discussions he had with the
young entrepreneur Eggert: „When I discuss an investment with a customers, I am not
simply selling a machine. I want all matec customers to benefit from my experience in
the market. That is the reason why I said over and over again, Jochen, if you want to
earn money, you have to invest in a gantry machine.“ After more detailed consultations
with Erich Unger, Eggert settled for a gantry machining center matec-40 P with
traveling path in Y of 10,000 mm. Unger is conviced, that this is a further investment
which will pay off nicely : „Today Eggert CNC-Technik is the only job-shopper within a
Industrial
Our customers
radius of 50 kilometers who owns a machine with a table length of 10 meters. Such a
unique selling point pays off in orders and margins.“
Customer and supplier, a constellation which is profitable for both parties
The investment of such a lot of money, was not easily decided on by the young company.
The commitment of matec founder Unger, to make use of one third of the machine’s
capacity by placing orders for matec-parts, quite helped. Meanwhile the 40 P
produces in three shifts. Besides housings, machine bases and columns for matec, a
great variety of parts are manufactured. Customers are found in sectors such as construction
machinery to general engineering or special machinery.
Eleven matec machines are currently at work for Eggert. 46 employees supervise
the production of parts in two and three shifts. Company owner Jochen Eggert sees
potential for further growth. The very first matec, a matec-30 HV, is till running in
two and three shifts.

sectors + applications
in different industrial sectors and all over the world
Enormously versatile: matec-40 P machines a wide variety of different materials. Customers can be found in machine tool business, the general
engineering sector, or in agricultural and construction machinery. The traveling operator platform provides for a good control of the machining steps.
Highest precision in the machining of guideways
The cooperation between supplier and customer is profitable for both parties: „The precision,
that Jochen Eggert reaches, for example, in the machining of guideways, is really
astonishing.“ Unger points to the machine base, which is ready for machining on the 40 P:
„In the case of this machine base with guideways of a length of 3,000 mm, the deviation
across the total length of the base amounts to only one hundredth mm. That is really firstclass.“
Linear drives for rapid feeds up to 80 m/min in the X-axis
Besides the precision, Eggert appreciates the flexibility of the 40 P. „We have machined
parts on this machine with a length of more than 8 meters and a weight of 18 tons.
Whether you believe it or not - the biggest challenge in those cases was, to get the parts
onto the machine. The machining itself was not problematic at all. But parts of these dimensions
are not daily routine. In most cases we machine several parts clamped in a row, or
mount a part, while a second one is being machined.“ The tool magazine with 2 x 40
tools is placed safely and space-savingly in the traveling column, which means that all
machining procedures can be done with no problem in a tool change time of only 4,5
seconds and a chip-to-chip-time of less than 10 seconds. Optionally a tool magazine with
up to 200 tool pockets is available. With a tool length of 4,600 mm in the standard version,
and a maximum tool weight of 25 kg, plus a power of 33 kW at 40 % DC and a
torque of 382 Nm at 40 % DC, almost all machining tasks can be performed.
Powerful spindle with 8,000 rpm
Most important for Eggert is the possibility to machine different materials on the machine.
For the machining of aluminium on the matec-40 P, he can use a spindle with a speed of
8,000 rpm. „Our competitors are limited to 400 rpm“, says Eggert. Another important
aspect for his decision to buy even more matec machines in the future, is the good aftersales
service. The short distance to the machine builder in Köngen near Stuttgart means
that support is available at any time, whenever it is needed. In times, when the majority of
the machining centers is working in two or three shifts, this is a decisive factor.
We grow with our customers
According to Unger’s experience, the success story of Eggert CNC-Technik is no single
case „Almost all the companies, that put their trust in matec as a supplier, have developed
economically. The majority of them are still dedicated customers. And we have grown with
our customers.“

The right automation saves production time and brings economic efficiency
In modern production these are very decisive factors. High cost pressure on the market makes automation even more important. State-of-the-art
solutions bring flexibility even in single part production. Manufacturing with less manpower reduces unit costs - a lot of companies follow this route
today.
matec has the right automation for every machine series. Usually the customer orders a matec machine together with an automation, especially if
series production and a high productivity are demanded. In this case standard systems are customized to the machine. More complex solutions are
designed and manufactured by matec.
A pallet changer as automation is advantageous in every machine series, especially in the
machining of voluminous and heavy parts and in complete machining in one clamping and
long machining time.

Perfect automation: pallet magazine, robot loading unit, devices, and clamping systems
matec-40 HV pallet loading system and additional
circular tool magazine with 200 tool pockets
Being able to produce seven days a week in three shifts - fully automated and flexible down to the
single piece - this vision of a Swiss manufacturer of packaging machines was to be made a reality.
In the approach to a solution a matec-30 HVC was found, equipped with 5 simultaneous axes,
complemented by an automation. Swiss matec representative SMI had designed a concept which
consisted of a customized version of a standard machine plus an automation adapted to the
manufacturing. This concept covered 80 % of the cubic parts and the demands for flexible batch
sizes.
The manufacturing cell consists of a matec-30 HVC, a Fanuc robot with load capacity of 210 kg, a
pallet magazine for pallets of the sizes 400 x 400, 500 x 500, 500 x 800 and 600 x 800 mm,
a loading station for pallets and tools, and a magazine of 210 HSK 63 tools with transfer station,
plus 48 tools deposited inside the machine.
The pallet magazine allows a random storage of various pallet sizes. The matec-30 HVC has traverse
paths in X/Y/Z of 1,500 x 800 x 1,100 mm, a B-axis ± 105°, a C-axis 360°, and is equipped
with an integrated rotary table which is offset from the center in X/Y-direction, with diameter
630 mm. The offset provides for an extra large interference diameter. A Unilock zero-point clamping
system clamps pallets, stationary chucks, multiple clamping devices and tombstones. The
smaller pallets are made of steel and are covered with mineral casting, in order to achieve a
weight reduction, high rigidness and minimum vibration. The larger pallets are made of aluminium.
The customer is satisfied: „Our vision of a 24 hour production has almost come true. Based on
168 hours in a week, we are significantly above 100 hours of effective spindle time.“

Examples for automation with gantry loader and robot
The traveling column series is
highly flexible and has a great
variety of traverse paths. Heavyweight
parts in small to mediumsized
batches can be machined.
The automation depends
on the machining task. A gantry
loader is more expensive than a
robot, but it can transport longer
and heavier parts. The
gantry loader (3 or 4 axes) has
a linear movement, which is
ideal for long distances. The
gantry loader can load linked
machines quite easily, a robot
can’t. Due to its joints (practically
6 and more axes) the
robot is the most flexible.
We have the right solution for every automation task. And for yours!

The easiest way to automate a machine is by means of an NC gripper
in the tool magazine. It can perform the loading and unloading, the
axes of the machine acting as handling system
The matec-30 HV shown on the left is used for the manufacturing of radial gear
units of large engines. It is equipped with a rotary table with vertical face-plate
for the machining in the first clamping. After the machining of the fifth side
the part is handed over to a second rotary table with jaw chuck or other clamping
fixture with horizontal face-plate. It is located on a slide unit traveling up
to 1,400 mm. Both tables rotate 360°. In combination with the swivel head, it
is possible to machine up to 5 sides of a workpiece. The saw unit crosscuts the
workpiece to the required size after transfering it over to the second machining
area. After the machining the NC gripper removes the part from the working
area and deposits it on a discharge belt.
Due to the bar feeder no clamping device is necessary for the machining of
parts. Every kind of part within the diameter of the bar can be machined - up to
diameter 120 mm and up to a length of 400 - 500 mm.

The highly productive swivel table machines usually have
a very short operating time in the machining of parts. Since
loading procedure takes place every 3-4 minutes, automation
by pallet changer is not the best choice. The mounting
of the parts would take too much time. In addition the
necessary device is an extra expense-factor.
Complete machining, long machining time, or the machining
of voluminous and heavy workpieces make a pallet changer
a good solution for swivel table machines.
When chaining machines, gantry loaders or loading robots
are usually chosen. In this case size and weight of the workpieces
are determining factors.
Flexible manufacturing cell
consisting of:
2 machining centers matec-30 S
1 CNC gantry loader
1 CNC position-fixing station
optionally available with matec-30 SD
Flexible manufacturing cell for series production
Performing a certain machining task, the CNC gantry loader
grips the rotationally symmetrical parts from a rolling
belt and places them in the position-fixing unit to adjust.
So, the parts are fixed in the machine load area by turns
and swivelled into the machining area by a 180° swivel
table.
During the machining process in both centers the gantry
loader discharges the finished parts from the machines
and deposits them on the rolling belt.
The whole production flow of the flexible manufacturing
cell is controlled by the gantry loader.
