Vision system assists machine builder in a system for producing novel solar panels
The machine builders at Klebo Technics B.V. in the Netherlands have been known for many years for their extensive expertise in machines and components for ultrasonic welding. But that's not all. “Our customers often contact us about an ultrasonic application but then quickly realize that we offer lots more in the areas of machine, module, and system building”, says Managing Director Johan Klein Leetink. Also included in the mix: the PLOC2D robot guidance system in a machine for producing novel solar panels.
With its twenty employees, Klebo Technics covers all areas from design and manufacturing right through to service and maintenance. Its machines are supplied to companies in numerous industries all over Europe, including large companies in the foodstuffs and pharmaceutical industry.
Customized high tech solutions
There are many reasons for the company’s success according to the managing director: “Traditionally we have been known for our responsiveness and the good service we provide. And we continue to meet these expectations as our machines develop more and more in the direction of high tech solutions. We are also making big development steps in the area of service. We now also analyze machine malfunctions remotely. Our customer's machines stand idle for no longer than necessary”, says Klein Leetink.
Project Manager Dick Rozendal gives another important reason for why customers enjoy collaborating with Klebo: “We don’t deliver serial products, but rather customized solutions. We prefer to get involved as early as the initial planning steps. For some projects, very specific processing methods or component configurations are desired which, based on our experience, are very difficult to implement from a mechanical engineering perspective. By involving us at an early stage, we are still able to suggest changes to the customer. More easily implemented options can often be found. Because we are given a say in projects, our customers receive a machine that offers them added value.”
