COMPANY GROBE
High-tech in the smallest of spaces

The impetus for the modernization of production, which began in 2021, came when the bridge saw broke down for several weeks. Although the outdated machine could be repaired, the entrepreneur realized that sawing with the rotary table was no longer up to date. However, it was also clear that only a customized new machine would fit into the narrow and low halls. The choice fell on an LDZ 2000 from Burkhardt-Löffler. In addition to the individual configuration of the bridge saw, the reliable, German-speaking service was the decisive factor, explains Karin Grobe: „As we have never had any problems with the support of our edging machine for more than two decades, Burkhardt-Löffler was also chosen for the saw.“ While the LDZ 2000 was already under construction, Karin Grobe saw a current KSL 80 at an in-house exhibition and decided to replace the existing edging machine with the current model. To make room for both machines in the workshop, not only was the hall extended and the roof raised in the area of the saw, but the entire infrastructure of electrics, water pipes and compressed air was also adapted. The engineers also adapted the design of the machines to the limited space available. Because the height adjustment of the saw was too high for transportation through the hall, it was hoisted over the roof into the hall in a spectacular way using a truck-mounted crane. Looking back, the master stonemason is pleased to say that it was perfect precision work that went off without a hitch.
