26 ABUS through and through: advanced production, typical precision A picture of quality: ABUS welded box girders The high quality standards achieved by ABUS crane systems are only possible because of the extreme care taken in production at the ABUS Lantenbach plant. Our production facilities represent the state of the art, from the preparation of steel plate using high-performance blast cleaning systems and welding using machinery with automated weld sequences through to the application of the high-quality paint system. Highly automated, highly versatile production facilities ensure an ideal combination of precision, cost-effectiveness and constant high quality levels. Highly specialised machines developed in-house, such as the mobile portal welding unit, ensure smooth and troublefree production at all times; customers can rely on rapid completion to schedule and just in time delivery. They can also be sure that all the mechanical, electrical and electronic components of an ABUS crane have been thoroughly tested prior to shipment and that any item of equipment bearing the ABUS name represents ABUS quality through and through. Following thorough inspection, the steel plates are derusted and descaled to ensure excellent weld quality. The shotblasting unit is equipped with four high-performance turbines and can produce surfaces to DIN 55928, Grade SA 2 12. It can be adjusted to any steel grade and plate thickness. Depending on the individual model, ABUS travelling cranes are either fitted with rolled section girders or welded box girders. While rolled section girders are mainly used for low to medium load capacities and narrow spans, welded box girders are designed for the highest load capacities (up to 120 t *) and the widest spans (up to 40 m *). Every ABUS box girder is tailored from high-grade steel plate to ensure that these units are a unique combination of strength, size, quality, reliability and precision. In this brochure, we can only give you a first impression of the production process. If you would like more evidence of the efficiency of material flow and the performance of our production facilities, the best way is to see for yourself during a visit to our Lantenbach plant. We look forward to seeing you. * Details of higher load capacities and wider spans on application.
