Invest­ment in new mea­sur­ing equipment 

Hanover/Gryfino, August 2022 — The flex­i­ble inter­ac­tion of man­u­fac­tur­ing sit­u­a­tion and process safe­guard­ing is the basis of any future-ori­ent­ed pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ment. To meet grow­ing cus­tomer demands and stan­dards, Jäger Gum­mi und Kun­st­stoff GmbH has there­fore expand­ed its invest­ments in test­ing equip­ment, fur­ther improv­ing its own test­ing capa­bil­i­ties for process assurance.

At the Jaeger Pol­s­ka Spół­ka z o.o. man­u­fac­tur­ing facil­i­ty in Gryfi­no, which is part of Jäger Gum­mi und Kun­st­stoff GmbH, a ten­sile test­ing machine, a tac­tile and opti­cal 3D mea­sur­ing machine, and a rheome­ter for article/raw mate­r­i­al test­ing were pur­chased in addi­tion to the mea­sur­ing devices already in use. The aim of using the new mea­sur­ing equip­ment is to safe­guard the pro­duc­tion process­es and thus to avoid rejects and complaints.

Hen­ning Kracht, Head of Qual­i­ty Assur­ance at Jäger Gum­mi und Kun­st­stoff GmbH, explains the great added val­ue of the new mea­sur­ing equip­ment for cus­tomers: “Pre­cise man­u­fac­tur­ing requires pre­cise mea­sur­ing tech­nol­o­gy — and increas­ing­ly pre­cise mea­sur­ing meth­ods in turn enable pre­cise man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es. The new mea­sur­ing instru­ments pro­vide us and our cus­tomers with even bet­ter eval­u­a­tion options. The new mea­sur­ing devices have also enabled us to fur­ther increase the lev­el of mate­r­i­al qual­i­ty and repro­ducibil­i­ty while ensur­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly more effi­cient operation.”

The mea­sur­ing instru­ments are equipped with pro­pri­etary soft­ware. The plan is to con­nect them to the JÄGER Group’s uni­form CAQ (Com­put­er Aid­ed Qual­i­ty) sys­tem, as is already the case with var­i­ous oth­er mea­sur­ing devices for cen­tral data eval­u­a­tion and archiv­ing. The CAQ sys­tem offers the pos­si­bil­i­ty to mon­i­tor and check the pro­duc­tion process and to ana­lyze qual­i­ty-rel­e­vant data.

“The aim of the con­nec­tion is to achieve the great­est pos­si­ble uni­fi­ca­tion and stan­dard­iza­tion of the mea­sur­ing equip­ment at the var­i­ous JÄGER Group sites in order to pro­mote com­pe­ten­cies and mutu­al sup­port,” says Hen­ning Kracht.
