Complete overhaul of a folding machine to guarantee performance and reliability
Preventive maintenance of offset folding machines: ensuring production continuity
The Manroland Goss Web Systems France team carried out a complete overhaul of a Manroland Goss offset folding machine. The objective: to guarantee performance, reliability, and long-term production continuity.
Procedure of the intervention
The overhaul followed a structured, multi-step protocol. Our technicians first performed a complete diagnostic of the machine's condition. They then carried out the following operations:
- Replacement of wear parts — folding cords, bearings, belts and trims
- Verification of mechanical functions — parallelism of the blades, paper guidance, drive rollers
- Electronic control — position sensors, actuators and control system
- Settings and focus — calibration of bending parameters according to original specifications
- Production test — validation of settings before recommissioning
Each intervention is the subject of a detailed report, sent directly to the client to ensure complete traceability and facilitate the planning of future interventions.
Why choose preventive maintenance over corrective maintenance?
Repairing a broken press brake results in significantly longer machine downtime than a scheduled overhaul. The faulty part must be identified, ordered, and replaced urgently. Production stops without warning.
Preventive maintenance reverses this logic. By planning replacements before failure occurs, it reduces unplanned downtime. Furthermore, it significantly extends equipment lifespan. In the long run, it is therefore a cost-effective investment compared to a purely reactive approach.
