RIVAL Meets Future Demands with Set-Based Production Over Traditional Series
More and more industrial customers are shifting toward requesting deliveries in sets rather than traditional series production with many identical parts at once.
This development introduces new requirements for production planning and logistics on our end, while at the same time enabling greater flexibility, faster assembly, and fewer errors for the customer.
Investing in the Future
At RIVAL, we are highly attuned to this shift in customer demand—underscored by our latest investment in a DMG MORI DMU 60 eVo with PH 300 cell.
“The new machine will strengthen our flow production, and we are already actively planning set-based deliveries for several of our key customers,” says Henrik Holvad. “We have a number of large orders in the pipeline, and with this new investment, we’re preparing ourselves to meet our customers’ evolving needs.”
Close Collaboration Between Humans and Machines
Effective set-based production requires close collaboration between skilled operators and advanced machinery to maintain the highest quality. “Our most skilled employees are responsible for programming and preparing individual components before they transition into full set production on the DMG MORI DMU 60 eVo with PH 300 cell,” explains Henrik Holvad.
“The machine can be configured with up to 120 tools and is prepared to produce up to 30 different components in unmanned operation during evenings, nights, and weekends. Here, our talented machine operators ensure everything runs smoothly.”
Ready, Set, Go
The DMG MORI DMU 60 eVo arrived at RIVAL in week 12, and our foreman Glenn and his team have prepared the workspace to accommodate the new machine. This required relocating another machine, shelving units, and more to make room for installation. We’re now very close to beginning production—and we’re excited to get started.
A Bit of Tech
The DMU 60 eVo is a compact and versatile 5-axis machining center, offering high precision and dynamic performance. The machine handles workpieces up to 400 kg. Its working range includes an X-axis of 600 mm, Y-axis of 500 mm, and Z-axis of 500 mm, making it ideal for precision components and complex geometries. Full 5-axis simultaneous machining enables complete processing in a single setup. The spindle runs up to 20,000 rpm, and the machine can be configured with up to 120 tools. Integrated Renishaw probing ensures high accuracy and efficient processing.
