Safe Turning of Heavy Components – in Seconds
RSB Rationelle Stahlbearbeitung GmbH & Co. KG
RSB operates multiple Teqram EasyFlipper systems to safely and efficiently turn heavy oxy-fuel and structural steel components in just seconds.
The result: shorter cycle times, maximum operational safety, and noticeable ergonomic relief in daily production.
Key Facts at a Glance
The Customer
RSB GmbH & Co. KG is a leading systems supplier for the toolmaking, moldmaking, and machine building industries. With over 10,000 m² (approx. 107,600 sq ft) of production space and around 200 employees, RSB manufactures complex steel components—from oxy-fuel cutting and CNC machining to precision finishing—operating in a three-shift production environment.
Efficient and reliable material flow is a key success factor in their daily operations.
The Challenge
In daily production, heavy components must be turned multiple times—for deburring, shot blasting, or additional machining steps.
Previously, parts were turned manually using slings and crane equipment. The process was time-consuming, safety-critical, and physically demanding. Each turning operation took several minutes—resulting in significant lost production time, especially with heavier components.
The Solution
- Deployment of multiple EasyFlipper systems for the safe turning of heavy components
- Handling of workpieces weighing up to 5,000 kg (11,023 lb)
- Very short and fully repeatable cycle times
- Integration at multiple points within the production process:
- Grinding stations
- Shot blasting systems
- Upstream machining centers
- Grinding stations
The Results
- Significantly reduced turning times
- Noticeable relief for employees
- Increased workplace safety
- Reduced need for manual handling
- Greater flexibility in production flow
- Safe handling even of very heavy components
Why Teqram
RSB chose Teqram because of the system’s robust design, high turning speed, and clearly defined safety concept.
Seamless integration into existing production processes, along with continued development up to the hydraulic version, made the EasyFlipper a long-term, sustainable solution.
Conclusion
With multiple EasyFlipper systems in operation, RSB sets new standards for the safe and efficient turning of heavy components.
Productivity, ergonomics, and workplace safety are significantly improved—while maintaining maximum process reliability.
