Installation and commissioning support

Installation planning begins weeks before equipment arrives. We structure the process around pre-arrival requirements, team responsibilities, and dependency mapping between site and supplier actions. Foundation specifications, power supply requirements, compressed air systems, coolant infrastructure, and ambient temperature control must all be verified against manufacturer installation manuals. A Sodick wire-cut EDM system requires specific water quality and temperature-controlled deionized water supply. A PLATIT PVD coating system needs dedicated gas supply lines and clean-room conditions at the loading zone. A Hermle 5-axis machining center requires foundation isolation meeting specific vibration dampening specifications.

Commissioning checkpoints are documented with acceptance evidence so technical teams can close startup stages in a controlled sequence. We coordinate manufacturer service engineer schedules, ensure that required tooling and workholding are available for test cuts, and manage the handover documentation package including operation manuals, maintenance schedules, electrical schematics, and spare-part catalogs. For multi-machine installations, we sequence commissioning to minimize total production downtime and ensure that upstream and downstream process dependencies are respected.

The result is faster ramp-up and clearer accountability throughout the launch period. Machines commissioned with structured oversight reach productive operation 30-50 percent faster than those installed through informal coordination between buyer and manufacturer service teams.
