Suhner Launches New Tool Repair Center
Suhner’s North American service center has larger capacity, new equipment, better organization and more staff.
Suhner has opened its new North American center. Located next to the existing repair center on the company campus in Rome, Georgia, this facility offers customers several benefits. While the actual size is about the same as the previous repair center, there is 40 percent more workspace, thanks to better storage and materials handling operations. The center’s repair area has increased by 50 percent and there are new repair function areas, as well as new repair equipment. Suhner’s new center also features improved training facilities and a test area. The North American center has substantial room for expansion as well, according to company sources.
Organizationally, the center has shelving for vertical storage (18-ft. racking), industrial cabinets for organized parts storage and separate and dedicated stock areas. Further, Suhner has hired additional staff to offer better customer service to clients. This service includes onsite training in operations and maintenance of Suhner automated tooling equipment and other products in the line.
This new factory service center repairs spindles, multi-spindle heads, slides and live tooling. In the near future, Suhner will also service rotary index tables for CNC machines. Additionally, Suhner repairs its own line of abrasive power tools and competitive brands of spindles, multi-heads and live tooling.
