WITZIG & FRANK services

We offer professional services for your highly productive machines and plants. Whether it's a matter of keeping the availability of your plants as high as possible or adapting them in line with necessary changes in order to continue producing products at a high level. As your partner, we want to use our know-how to help us to be successful together.

Hotline/remote service  

Fast problem solving with no need for an on-site deployment. We can support you remotely so that your plant is available again as quickly as possible. Our service experts can assist your maintenance employees so that we can rectify malfunctions together. We can correct a range of malfunctions cost-effectively by means of remote support without having to actually come to your site.

Examples:

  • Remote diagnosis of malfunctions and, in some cases, remote rectification
  • Error analysis by means of remote service with targeted instructions for employees about solving the problem
  • Software modifications and updates
  • Implementation of software in case of data loss
  • Optimization or changes to PLC and NC programs

If an on-site deployment is required after all, our service team is ready to help.

Inspection  

Taking precautions pays off. Regular inspections by skilled Witzig & Frank technicians will increase the lifetime of your production plant and help to avoid costly repairs and follow-on damages. Inspections that are specially tailored to the individual machine types ensure high availability and a long lifetime. Unplanned machine downtime can be avoided and required maintenance and repairs can be planned for the best possible time.

Repairs  

Fast help in an emergency. We always keep standard components in stock. This ensures that repairs can be carried out by our service technicians at our sites and yours at short notice. We'd be happy to help you with a provisioning concept for special components for your plant so that these parts are available at all times, too.

Process optimization (OEE) 

Benefit from our know-how. Whether it's a matter of optimizing individual machining processes or perfecting the entire machining procedure of your plant. With our know-how, we can help you to increase output and improve quality.

Optimization of primary processing time and non-productive time

  • Significant productivity increase
  • Reduced costs per workpiece
  • Production supervision
  • Turnkey solutions

Spare parts

For plant-specific special components, we recommend a custom provisioning concept to ensure that these parts are available whenever you need them, too.
