Case Study: Saudi Arabian Printing Client
We recently received a shipment of Bosch Rexworth Diax 03 Digital Single Axis Drives at our UK facility. The client wanted the drives to undergo a complete ‘reman’ – restoring them to ‘as good as new’ condition and ensuring they were ready for many more years of service.
All work on the drives was completed in just 4 weeks.
What we did:
- Cleaned all components & carried out initial assessment
- Replaced worn component parts
- Carried out preliminary test & function check
- Provided new type plates
- Provided a 2-year warranty
Reman is a preventative measure that reduces unplanned downtime. It also provides peace of mind through greater production reliability.
