The two new Assemble-To-Order services, are ‘ATO5’, for the five working day service, and ‘ATO1’ for the premium one day service. Both are available with SEW Eurodrive’s modular system of industrial gear units.
This includes the company’s range of standard Generation X.e helical and bevel helical industrial gear units, up to 45kNm, and the standard P Series of planetary gear units up to 360kNm with almost all options. From March 2021 this will be expanded to include Generation X.e gear units up to 175kNm.
In fact, the UK division of SEW Eurodrive is the first in the world to ship a Generation X.e gear unit under the new ATO1 service. The order was received on a Monday, the gearbox was built on Tuesday and then delivered to the customer’s site, in the UK, on Wednesday.
According to the company, the new service will allow maintenance engineers the option not to store replacement units or components, reducing costs and the need for storage facilities.
Typical applications that will benefit from the new services include heavy-duty equipment found in mining, quarrying, conveying, and cement plants, and so on.
